There appears to be a lot of people unaware of the actual reasons why Derpy was changed. One of the show's writers, Amy Keating Rogers wrote a part for Derpy Hooves in the episode The Last Roundup. After the episode aired she recieved about 200 letters showing gratitide for Derpy's inclusion, but also 10 angry letters claiming Derpy Hooves was in some way offensive. These 10 e-mails was enough to make AKR doubt herself and ask Hasbro for suggestions. And Hasbro's kneejerk response was, replace her voice, remove her name and censor her eyes.

Amy Keating Rogers was never against Derpy Hooves. NONE of the creators of the show were against Derpy Hooves. None of them saw her as disabled. I've seen this claim twice now, and let's just end it. Do NOT spread this myth.
