I do disagree with the statement that "Hasbro killed Derpy"; that is not true and it is a strange way of phrasing what actually happened that uses exaggeration probably to get emotional response. But at its core, the base meaning of that statement is in fact, correct, IMO. Hasbro changed her frequency and quality of appearances over the first five eps of season 3 from 7% of her season to rate to absolute zero. I also believe it doesn't matter to Hasbro who says what anymore and they have washed their hands of the sitch. Which is their choice. If they hadn't been so easily influenced to remove her in the first place, I just might believe that they just really were beyond reproach and did what they wanted regardless, but obviously there is a way to get to them and all evidence indicates that it is not very hard if you know where to push. "Getting to them" is no longer my objective. It is not an "insult" to demand that the responsible party accept the consequence for their deliberate and voluntary actions. I have and will continue to demand (both in written letters from me and my children and on this and other Derpy related blogs) that Hasbro take responsibility for an edit that they clearly are 100% voluntarily responsible for until such time as they have the will to publicy deny any involvement or explain their reasons for treating Derpy Hooves in the way they have in a direct statement from their corporate offices. There is nothing wrong with that.
