"I believe we know 100% who is responsible for performing the retcon and it is Hasbro". " Were there outside forces involved? Very likely.  But those outside forces did NOT have controlling power legally or physically over Hasbro at all and that is provable"

No factor should be overlooked. Hasbro may made the descision to remove Derpy, but it is the outside forces- that is to say, the letters of complaints- that influence Hasbro's descision. Why can't they bring Derpy back? Why do they listen to 10 angry people over the brony community? Those ten people can sue Hasbro under the guise that Derpy was a sick offense to disabled people. Now I realize none was made, but it easily COULD be made, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ten people could make their arguement sound believable had they actually did sue.

Now on the other hand, what can we do? Sue? Under what charge? Our favorite character is gone? It's offensive to NOT have a wall eyed mare in the show? There are shows that don't have cross- eyed characters, but nobody complains about that, and that would make our arguement look weak.

So, which side seems like a greater legal threat?

There may still be a way to bring Derpy back though: loopholes.
