@Tristan They decided her name was offensive (along with how her eyes were drawn) so they changed her name and stuff

user15026

And people want to get it put back how it was

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Whaaaaat? That's crap! =(

user15026

This explains it pretty well

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Well, they're never gonna change it back. =(

user15026

@Tristan Yeah, they're not.

@OrigamiRobot Hurrah! :)

@Tristan more details: in The Last Roundup, the original had Rainbow Dash call her Derpy and Derpy spoke

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I saw that episode.

murgatroid99

@Tristan then, they removed that episode from iTunes and it was off for about two months, so people were scared that they were getting rid of Derpy

When it was finally put back, Derpy had a different voice and the name was no longer used

@James @Tristan You guys done?

murgatroid99

@Tristan I hadn't really looked that much into the whole save derpy thing. I already agreed with what they were trying to convince me of

@Tristan The problem with the whole situation is that both sides of the argument get offended by what the other side wants

James

@OrigamiRobot I think so, Trist went to get a smoke before some TF2 obligation

4:13 AM

@Tristan The people who want to change Derpy say her character makes fun of mentally disabled people, and the people who want to keep her say that that attitude reinforces stereotypes about mentally disabled people

James

bored bored bored.. but my head hurts to much to sleep. effing headache

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Yeah

@murgatroid99 I can see where both sides are coming from.

But that video? Damn... Manly tears.

@AshleyNunn Did you see it?

murgatroid99

@Tristan I am personally in the second camp, but the fact that the original video is still all over the internet (and I downloaded it from iTunes before they took it down) means that I don't really have much to complain about

Tristan

@murgatroid99 It'll probably keep me from ever buying the 2nd season on dvd.

murgatroid99

@Tristan If they ever release season DVDs

Tristan

4:22 AM

@murgatroid99 True.

user15026

@Tristan That is the saddest thing I have ever watched ever

Tristan

@AshleyNunn I know, right!?

user15026

because I have seen people I have worked with when I worked as a PSW/group home worker talk about stuff like that

user15026

admittedly, they weren't named Derpy, but it still kinda...strikes something.

Tristan

I swear to god, if WeLoveFine removes the Derpy messenger bag before I can buy it, I'm going to murder everything.

user15026

4:28 AM

@Tristan That bag is pretty awesome.

murgatroid99

@Tristan They have had the Derpy stuff for a while; they're probably not going to get rid of it any time soon

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I hope not. =(

user15026

@Tristan Considering they just came out with a Derpy keychain as a freebie for ordering 5 MLP items in the same order...I think you are safe for a while

murgatroid99

@Tristan The save Derpy stuff kind of blew over soon after the episode came back to iTunes, and I'm pretty sure WLF has added Derpy stuff since then

Tristan

On another note: The new voice isn't that bad. But if they fix her eyes, I won't watch the show anymore. o.O I have a severe amblyopia, so I find humor in a character with the same problem to be so liked.

murgatroid99

4:32 AM

@Tristan later episodes have shown no evidence of "fixed" eyes, and the animators have said they would still do the same background Derpy stuff.

@Tristan I think she appeared something like 8 times in the latest episode

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I'm okay with this, then...

A friend of mine thinks that video was made by the actual crew.

murgatroid99

@Tristan Yeah, me too. That's why the action I have taken on this subject has been limited to signing a petition and writing a slightly annoyed comment about the change

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I didn't even know there was a petition til I read the link @AshleyNunn posted.

murgatroid99

@Tristan I'm pretty sure the voice is a pretty popular fan Derpy voice

user15026

@Tristan I followed this stuff pretty closely when it first happened.

Tristan

4:36 AM

@murgatroid99 @AshleyNunn youtube.com/watch?v=4gwObcjGCVA This may make you lol >.> It has some language though

murgatroid99

@Tristan @AshleyNunn wow, WLF already added two shirts related to the latest episode

Tristan

@murgatroid99 I just watched the Super Speedy Cider Squeezey 6000 last night, and I've already seen the one where Dash is in the... Hospital? Vet's office?

murgatroid99

@Tristan I don't think that the health care professional for the dominant sentient species counts as a vet

@AshleyNunn Me too. Meee too...

murgatroid99

4:53 AM

@Tristan I agree, but since her son has some problem that is somehow related to this whole thing, nobody can argue with her changing it without being a horrible person

user15026

@Tristan I mean I get I shouldn't go around calling people retarded and such (because yeah, offensive), but sometimes I think people just need something to complain about. If I really wanted, I could find something bad about just about everything....

user15026

@murgatroid99 That's not a very good argument, actually. There will always be someone somewhere offended by just about everything.

Tristan

@AshleyNunn This is true. But, y'know... Patrick and Spongebob are wayyy worse. Patrick in particular... No one complains about that one.

user15026

Heck we got people saying that freaking RAINBOWS are offensive because either a) they promote the homosexual agenda or b) they promote the Christian agenda or c) they are just too colourful and happy XD

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn I'm not saying it's right, I'm just reiterating the point that saying that something is offensive is a conversation stopper because you can't argue without looking like a horrible person

James

5:59 AM

@Tristan Unreal games can not patch like normal games

And I am not sure if I am allowed to say any more :D

Tristan

@James Why wouldn't you be allowed to say more?

James

@Tristan NDA's last a long long time. I actually had to disable almost all of the anti-cheating code run in Unreal 3's engine when I ported it to the OnLive gaming platform.

I do not think I am allowed to go into detail on what those are.. suffice to say small changes require large updates.

Tristan

@James Wait.... What exactly do you do for a living?

James

(and before anyone goes and tries to hack Unreal 3 on their system or say a flaw or whatever, the onlive systems are a closed box so no 3rd party software can muck with em like that :))

Until a couple of years ago I made video games

then the economy tanked and the studio I worked for ran out of contracts.

Tristan

@James Are you allowed to say what studio? o.O

Tristan

@Ward Are you as outraged as I am about the Derpy dilemma?

James

Uh oh, are we going to have to go through the Derpy apology video again?

Tristan

@James I'm forcing myself to watch that until it isn't sad anymore. It's... not working.

Ward

I'm not up on that, we haven't been watching season 2.

Tristan

6:11 AM

@Ward Ah, okay. Well, we have a pretty extensive discussion about it a little further up in the chat if you're interested. lol

Ward

I'm not the usual brony, I watched all of S1 and many of the pre-FIM shows because of my daughter. Then I found out about bronies

Tristan

Oh hey, someone actually starred the horribly depressing Derpy apology video.

James

@Tristan Hehe, if you want to see a sad scene from Tv, look for the death of fred from angel.. very hard to not get a quiver of the lip listening to someone pleading to stay alive.

Tristan

@James Which one was Fred?

James

@Tristan the nerdy girl

Tristan

@James Guess I need to watch more Angel. If it's worse than Wash in Serenity, I won't be able to watch it.

James

Oh its worse man, much worse

Wash was over and done with in like 30seconds

Tristan

Fred Burkle?

James

Fred is sick/dead for 1-3 episodes... then comes back as an ancient who is not exactly what you call nice.. Aye.. Winifred(sp?) burkle

Angel has a good first season and a good last season, the stuff in the middle is very hit-or-miss

Tristan

So... Was the blonde guy a good guy or a bad guy?

James

blonde guy... The kid? Umm. Connor?

Ooor platinum blonde, Spike?

Tristan

6:19 AM

Spike

James

Ah, spike has a long history in the buffy/angel universe

He is a vampire who ends up getting his own soul back.. So he is technically a 'good' guy but generally goes about things in the ... wrongkinda manner

Tristan

@James makes sense to me.

James

I am a Joss Whedon fan if you couldnt tell by now.. not as much as a friend of mine though.. Named his kid after him :)

Tristan

@James That's a bit much. I love Firefly, enjoyed Dollhouse, and I like what I've seen of Angel, but I won't go naming my kid after the guy...

James

Love love Firefly.. and while I love Dollhouse as well, Ive still not watched the last episode cause I ... well Joss keeps killing the people I like off :P

Angel is good season 1, 4 and 5.. 2 and 3 are kind of hard...

I do have to suggest watching buffy though as well.. but if you havent seen it before, really start at season 3.

I'm excited about The Cabin in the Woods.

Just been told its low man on the totem pole in that series of movies

IM1 then IM2/cpt america, then Thor.

Yeah yeah, loved that line too :)

Oh, didnt see that one either

No Edward Norton in Avengers though...

Good actor... shame about that

Tristan

@James You can't see The Avengers and not watch those two movies... That's just... wrong. o.O But they claimed Edward Norton was too much of an ass on set. No one wanted to work with him.

James

Yeah, they rather screwed him over with his contract, not given as much control as he was told he would have.. so he was very surly on the set from what I recall

Still a shame.. Fight Club, The Illusionist, The Italian Job... He does a very good job.
