Remember the whole Derpy Hooves thing?

The people behind FIM acknowledged something that the fans came up with, did it, people got pissed off because she was clumsy and had a slow voice and because apparently 'Derp' is now a synonym for 'mentally retarded' and changed her voice, and when anyone spoke out against the changing of her voice the usual reaction was 'FAHKFJSHDSFSD YOU'RE ONLY SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT'S MY LITTLE PONY AND ITS DERPY HOOVES STOP CARING GO BACK TO CLOPPING YOU FREAK'?

Well, I have no doubt that a lot of people were upset just because it was a show they liked that got censorship and because it was a character that the fans essentially molded.

But...don't know about anyone else...I thought it was ridiculous because it was fucking ridiculous. There are cartoon characters in shows intended for really young audiences that are legitimately stupid to the point where they truly show off what people think of as mental retardation and yet they go fucking insane over a slightly clumsy character because 'HER SLOW VOICE OFFENDS ME AND I READ ON THE INTERWEBS THAT DERP MEANT RETARDED NOT JUST WALL EYED :iconbawplz:'.

Really though, all in all...most cartoon censorship is pretty stupid, especially when they take out simple things like bleeping the word 'loser' (I'm looking at you Treehouse) when other cartoons got away with having an angry dog pick out the nerve endings in his gums with a tweezer and no one put a shit fit over that.

Aside from that, just...any censorship. On a large scale, on a tiny scale like that...I'm not going to truly wrap my head around it until I explode from it, or get extremely pissed and allow the censorship to take up my time other than merely making a stamp that takes a few minutes but...c'mon. It's just silly.

Honestly, I never did understand the more 'adult' aspects or 'hidden jokes' of cartoons until I was older; so what's the point of censoring something that kids simply won't understand or pick up on?

I remember when cartoons took kids seriously, like Static Shock.

People are so buthurt over the smallest crap these days! Is it just me, or has it been getting worse?

...Glad I downloaded all the MLP: FiM episodes. I have the original Derpy Hooves voice and it'll never be lost~

The reason why I love Derpy is because...
1. She's so damn cute.
2. She's different
3. She's one of the most recognised characters in the fandom
4. I could go on FOREVERRRR. But DERPY IS AWESOME!!!

Oh god, don't mention the Derpy situation. Those people, forgive me for saying, are stupid f-ing idiots. Derpy was adorable, and didn't do ANY harm to disabled people...and, I'm proud to be a Derpy lover! Same goes for all the other cartoons out there.

Something I don't get:
They took out Derpy for "ZOMG BEIN OFFENSIVE CUZ SHE R NOT PERFET LIEK DEH ODER PONEHS"
And yet they didn't even bat an eye at Screw Loose. Or Screw Ball for that matter. Why?
(Just for the record I like all the ponies of FiM and I find none of them offensive in any way)

There was once a thin layer of censorship in the Regular Show episode "The Power" where Rigby said "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" Truth be told, THAT was hilarious, and allowed people to understand what they mean.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for Cartoon Network and they changed it to "How in the heck are we gonna fix this stuff?"

=~=; Cartoon Network censorship ruined a perfectly good joke.
