My unaltered Friendship Express DVD is one of my most prized pony possessions! Really, I just am continually amazed Hasbro still clings to their belief that Derpy was so very horrible in her original S2E14 format but they show no inclination to formally apologize, nor any intention of offering paid refunds or exchanges for the millions of children who purchased and own the episode that Hasbro finds so offensive it had to be retconned. What do you think would happen if Disney put a 5 second porn clip in the middle of their next animated feature release even in ONE DVD sold in ONE store? I don't care and cannot change Hasbro or iTunes' opinion of Derpy any more than they can change mine. But it's morally wrong for Hasbro to continue to demonstrate it believes it made a bad mistake with the original version of Derpy, but still never issue a formal apology or offer compensation for the damages this perceived mistake might have caused, and this moral evil is amplified by their continual insistance that they are targeting and therefore teaching children with this product. You cannot have it both ways. Either you apologize and admit your mistakes and show children how they should behave when they make mistakes, or you stop parading around holier-than-thou pretending like you never made mistakes. That is what drives me up the wall with the retcon, not the fact that Hasbro or iTunes or anyone believes Derpy was and possibly is offensive still, but that they have a double standard of behavior. What's more offensive, Derpy in her original form, or making offensive mistakes and then pretending they never happened and not apologizing?
