I am glad you are personally not as depressed as someponies who have the negative outlook I described might be! But anyway, my response to anypony who claims Derpy was introduced too suddenly is that they really aren't her true fans, because Derpy was in the show for a LONG time before S2E14. And if you ignored all her previous appearances and focus only on this S2E14 speaking role, which is less than 8% of her total onscreen time, then you could form an incorrect opinion about her personality and behavior. But if you ignore 92+% of her onscreen time, then you really aren't a fan are you? So why not just continue ignoring her? Unless you only pay attention to the tiny sliver of her onscreen time that suits your personal agenda? But then again, if you do that, you aren't really a Derpy fan either, you are just using any tools possible to further your agenda without really looking at the objective reality of fact. I don't mean YOU personally, I am just trying to describe how it's illogical to believe that because of >8% of Derpy's screen time makes her appear one way, that doesn't mean that she is that way all the time to her real fans who actually watch her in the show. That would be like saying because you watched a guy sleep for 2 hours one night and then wrote a report about him, that he does nothing but sleep 100% of the time and is a very lazy person. It's using a tiny sliver of a sample to try to define something that is in reality much larger and complex. I don't think "introducing her" and more "slowly" or gradually would make any difference because the people who judged her to be clumsy or sound strange et al have demonstrated that they completely ignore the already extant 92% of her screen time to focus solely on this episode.
