Actually,they make fun of Derpy's eyes,her mental capabilities,and pretty much everything about her. The difference is,it's all in good fun. Where Derpy a real person,she'd probably feel the same way about the "love" she gets that you do. There's a fine line between joking about something and picking on someone and it's largely about how they take it.

As an unusual person myself,I have to say that people don't deal with the unusual very well. They're taken off-guard and the first thing that pops into their head can be pretty hurtful,even if they didn't intend to. My advice is to cut people some slack and just give 'em a chance to get used to it. You'll find 9 times out of 10,they usually don't mean to hurt your feelings. They're just thoughtless and dumb sometimes. Imagine if you saw a guy with 4 arms. You'd probably stare and crack jokes too. Probably not to his face,but still.

As for Derpy,well,there's more to her than just the eyes. The fun of Derpy is in the speculation as to what she's like. Her canon appearances just add to. What was she doing in the well in "Secret to My Excess"? How'd she get in the snowglobe in "A Friend in Deed?" There's her connection to Dr. Whooves,Dinky,and other ponies of interest. And that's just for starters. So,yeah,not just the eyes.
