Besides the fact that Derpy was a great salute to fans, she was put in the Last Roundup at a point where SOPA had just made probably the biggest crackdown in history when it destroyed MegaUpload at the end of last January. Derpy's appearance to me was not only great as a fan of MLP, but I really believed that despite SOPA, Hasbro was willing to cement their long-standing stance that fanart was ok with them, and that they would at least to a background pony degree, be willing to work WITH actual fans of their show instead of attacking their input towards that fandom. Well that lasted about two weeks and when they retconned Derpy they not only did a lot of other things wrong, but they proved that SOPA will eventually win, that they are on SOPA's side, and that Derpy will never exist again as the fan based Derpy she was when Last Roundup first was released.
