I can't believe I have to post this AGAIN, but apparently some people do not actually watch Derpy's show appearances before labelling her. Derpy is onscreen for over 16 total minutes in the show. For about 74 seconds she does TWO THINGS that could be reasonably called  "clumsy" or even "retarded" if you choose to use that word that way. The other 884 seconds of screen time, she flies inside a snow glove, says "Muffins" along with many other ponies, helps make the Wingpower Tornado in Hurricane Fluttershy, helps clear the mess in Look Before You Sleep, cheers for Rainbow in Sonic Rainbow, etc. etc. So for over 93% of her SCREEN TIME, she is not doing anything that is at all different from the other ponies. I am not talking about fandom time, or fanfic time, I am talking only about actual on screen time. Is it fair for me to only see certain users on this board for a few seconds of their lives that they choose to post here and label them "self-centered idiot"? No. Because when somebody posts on this board, it is not an accurate depiction of their entire life. Just like when you see Derpy in the show for ~74 seconds in The Last Roundup and you interpret that as "annoying retard" and then use that label to generalize Derpy's entire in-show appearance as being that way. I wouldn't go so far as to say that making such factual false generalizations makes one a "self-centered idiot" but it does make you absolutely WRONG when you state that "The show portrays Derpy as an annoying retard" and you certainly look like you are ignoring 93% of Derpy's in show appearances because you have some kind of personal agenda that is not grounded in facts.
