Because Derpy was never meant to be offensive to any eye related conditions, nor was she meant to be offensive to people with any mental condition. The sad thing is the reason the haters dubbed her as "retarded" (their words, not mine) wasn't even because of her eyes or her behavior, but her voice, which was stupid because she was based on someone who had no "conditions" whasoever (albeit a boy). I still bet that it was 4chan who started the hate - they want to see bronies fail, but we won't.

Snails is a misconception; I don't know if it was Lauren or one of the other writers who came up with Snips and Snails, but it tries to hard to be a joke, and nothing else. I get that it's kind of a G2 refference (might be G1 as well, but I'm not sure), and that it's also an obvious refference to that children's rhyme, but it should have stopped at their names, or give Snails another reason to have a snail cutie mark. Being "slow" is not a talent, so it doesn't fit into the storyline.

Lauren did not make Fosters, Craig did. Lauren did... something to do with Fosters, but she didn't make it. Craig made Powerpuff Girls too.
