There's a lot more to her becoming the unofficial mascot for the entire brony community than the initial animation error, such as her name being officially adopted by the crew, and so on and so forth.

Honestly, it's not one of those things I can explain, but it makes enough sense to me that I don't question it. (Perhaps because Derpy is so unique because of the eyes, and this is one of the first female oriented shows I can think of that was widely accepted and enjoyed by a male audience, so it makes it kind of unique as well?)
