Seeing as the makers of the show, didn't agree to the Derpy edits themselves (as Derpy was never intended to be offensive) they may still be airng both the edited version, and the unedited version at alternate times. There is a show called Regular Show (which is a completly different type of show to Friendship is Magic I admit), which has two versions of each episode, because certain lines have to be changed so they don't cause offense.

In the end, even Hasbro shouldn't be blamed for the Derpy change. It's the world we live in. For the most part it was people without the conditions that Derpy was falsely accused of having assuming that the people who did have them would be, however there were apparently some who were. I have seen a lot of journals when the edits first took place of people who did have "mental disablities" or whatever your supposed to say now (even PC isn't reliable, as different people are offended by different terms, and if anyone here hates the term "mental disabillities" I appologise.) who weren't offended at all, and were more offended by the fact that people thought they should be offended. However, I have heard some of them were offended, which is a shame, because Derpy was never meant to even represent anything.

At the end of the day Hasbro did what they had to do, not what they chose to do. If they had ignored to complaints they could have had the entire show taken off the air. Come on bronies, we don't want that, do we? I'm sure one day things will reach a compromise, and people will realize that no harm was meant, and we'll get the true version back. Until then enjoy the show.
