Hasbro pays for the show, so they can do whatever they want on it within the bounds of FCC regulations. AKR wrote the episode, so she can suggest whatever changes she wants to any script re-writes within the direction Hasbro allows. However, I will never accept that because AKR or Hasbro thinks Derpy is defined as "retarded" that I am somehow morally obligated to agree with no academic or scholarly source to back them up. I don't begrudge them their opinions and as stated they have the funding and the writer's pen, so let them do what they want. But if they or anyone else expect me in my personal life to stop using the word Derpy to name a certain pony whose slapstick antics I happen to enjoy, I have no plans to do so. Good day sirs!
