My head canon is that Derpy is Dinky’s fillysitter, and I’m sticking to it.

I have to say this comment thread was actually tamer than I expected, especially given the drama in the comments tag.
 
@EPPony  
background character “canon” is inconsistent in general.
I actually hate show staff for catering to the fandom, they should never have put fandom crap in the show.
Like Derpy herself?

@Background Pony #5ACF  
Yes, I’m sure someone deciding to put “Unicorn filly #4” next to Derpy Hooves took up so much time that could have been spent putting unexpected twists and turns in this script.
 
@RektPony  
No. Don’t be dense.
 
@Background Pony #B0E6  
Just a couple of background ponies is enough. You know how they are…
 
@Soarinjack  
I’m fine if other people don’t have this headcanon. You can just pretend acknowledge they’re standing next to eachother. I however am going to squee a little, because this is my headcanon.
(after a couple of minor edits (hope that’s ok))

It’s as canon as you want it to be, in other words it’s up to your own headcanon. The episode show Derpy standing next to Dinky. That’s all. How you interpret that is up to you to decide. Either way it’s not conclusive evidence of anything, other than they’re standing next to each other. And I’m saying that as someone firmly in the Equestria’s Best Mother camp.
 
But as this thread show, nothing is going to stop people making drama over it.

Well, it’s the same episode where they confirmed Shiny’s geekhood from IDW.
 
So it’s as canon as that.

I don’t understand the hate here. Dinky and Derpy have similar name and similar appearance. It is very likely that they are both siblings and Golden Harvest/Written Script are their parents. Derpy being a mother is very unlikely and i doubt that anyone in the staff see her as a parental figure.
