The genius of that. The genius. The WILL to crusade endlessly, every moment, in every context and every situation, against the name of a friendly grey pegasus mare, so that not even one syllable of her name might be breathed by anyone on the earth, in any language, in any culture. And then I realized, like I was shot.... like I was shot with a diamond, a diamond bullet right through my forehead. These men retconned with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love. But they had the strength...the strength to retcon Derpy Hooves and to banish the phonemes of her name from humans lips forever. If I had just ten men with this level of dedication, our disagreements over Derpy's name would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral, and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to retcon without feeling.... without emotion.... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us.
