The Mane Six became beloved because Hasbro willed it. They hired great writers to write great scripts and songs for them to pronounce. They paid wonderful artists to carefully craft them into beautiful creatures in a wonderful world. Derpy is not like that. Derpy was a mistake, not a conscious creation. Derpy's only scripted lines were taken from her and retconned. Even her name was deliberately erased for whatever reason, but it was erased nonetheless. But despite everything her character has been through, she is still the most popular pony toy searched on Google. She commands some of the highest custom plushie and figurine prices on eBay and DevArt. The lines to get her ComiCon figure stretched to the horizon of the convention center. Even today, her fans leap up when the back of her head shows for a fraction of a second in an episode once a month. This is the power of Derpy Hooves. What company thinks they can just edit such a fandom's devotion to their beloved muffin princess? Who thinks they can change the word that is her name? Not with 10,000 retcons could you do this.
