Bear in mind that most people who watch the show probably aren't that closely acquainted with Derpy's fanon legacy. From that perspective, the entirety of her career on the show was basically "comical bit character who breaks everything". If you don't know what inspired her, she isn't shown to be particularly "sweet" or anyone's best friend -- which makes it easy to read her as a stereotype that doesn't do "different" people any favors.
