I bet you did not intend this, but your post already makes the assumption that Derpy actually has mental disabilities in the first place, which I don't think is even necessarily true. Since she was never shown being diagnosed with such a condition in any canon source. Therefore "diagnosing" her as disabled is done solely because of her cross eyes, clumsiness, and original voice quality. Using those three traits and coming up with a diagnosis of "mental disability" is about as rational as seeing an African American and saying "They are a farm worker who works in the cotton picking industry" based solely on your perception of their dark skin tone. That's an ignorant, insulting stereotype and less than 1% likely to be true when actually checked. I admit that one can make any assumption one wants based on one's obscure personal beliefs however, expecting other people to share them and even moreso expecting other people to change their behavior based upon them, is arrogant, selfish, and foolish. (Note, anon, I DON'T mean you necessarily think this way, but I just don't like any implication that Derpy automatically starts off as "mentally disabled" without even thinking about that presumption.)  IF you jump past all that and accept Derpy as "disabled", I still agree with you, even if she were, I still agree with your position that she should not be censored for being so.
