"In the first place" AKR was very strongly supportive of Derpy. Her confidence was not shaken until AFTER she read the "negative emails". Her viewpoint was shaken. She states she discussed options for editing the scene but she was not part of the final decision. I would therefore say that her position changed over time from "strongly supportive" to "very lukewarm and uncertain". I do not think AKR is guilty of ableism, or of greenlighting the edit of Derpy, but she is definitely guilty of letting other people make frivolous claims and belittle her confidence to the point where she is no longer willing to fervently defend her writing in this wonderful episode.
