The best lesson for Pony Production Conglomerate (my name for any group like Hasbro, DHX, the Hub, any group that has any part in the production of the canon show) to learn from the Derpy situation is to build the professional confidence in their own wonderful product. They need this confidence to not feel so insecure about their great show, as regards Derpy or otherwise, so that as soon as even one strange individual/fringe social justice warrior makes a subjective accusation, Pony Production Conglomerate instantly feels obligated to retcon the entire fanbase into an edited episode. I really felt sorry for AKR after the fallout from the anti-Derpy faction not because AKR did anything wrong, but because she seemed either completely unable or unwilling to firmly defend her writing against these attacks. AKR you are a great writer and MLP is better for having you. Do not buy into the attacks based on other people's opinions. You and only you know in your heart whether you did anything wrong. I wish you the strength to continue what is in my opinion your excellent craft and the confidence to defend it vigorously in the future.
