Description

Faust wasn’t a goddess like some seem to think, but damn if she didn’t know how to stick up for herself.

Rant ahead. You’ve been warned.
 
Implying the current writing team is spineless compared to Faust  
(based on circumstantial evidence at that) like I think this image does  
is a bit insulting to them in MY HUMBLE OPINION.  
Got that?  
Mine.
 
“Oh, this isn’t what Lauren would have wanted!”  
“Hasbro’s pulling the strings-she’d never let that happen!”  
“Look at the writing these days! Those damn lazy…”
 
Boo-hoo.
 
Seriously, it’s the same as Doctor Bloody Who!  
RTD vs. Moffat!  
Who’s the less bad writer?  
This night only!

 
That’s why I don’t like either fandom; not the fans, but the mess a few leave behind for the rest to clean up.  
What I think only a few people (including myself) realize is that it’s pointless to argue about what has already happened.Whatever it is, it’s done. Period. Sure, “it” could’ve been better, and I sure as Karzahni would like to change “it,” but does anyone here have a time machine so I can go back and fix it?  
full  
Believe me, I’m just as mad as the rest of them about this, screaming mad at that,  
but it’s done and there’s not a damned thing I or anyone else can do to fix it.
 
Kobayashi Maru, anyone?

Come to think about it, this whole controversy was One Big Mistake.  
Let me explain.  
-Some animator goofs up Derpy’s eyes in episode 1, kick-starting the Derpy bandwagon  
(<sarcasm> Thanks a lot </sarcasm>)  
-Miscommunication between on-high and Tabitha resulted in “offensive” voice  
-Both sides of the internet automatically assume the worst of the other  
instead of, you know, DOING RESEARCH???  
</rant>

    What would I have done?  
    Go back in time and fix that [CENSORED] animation cel.  
    Simple and clean.

She said that Derpy Hooves and Ditzy Do we’re different characters. Derpy Hooves was an animator’s joke that fans latched onto. Ditzy Do was a pony Lauren came up with independently who was going to be a klutz.

I still have a problem with her admitting that while “Ditzy Doo” would have been the go to idea when they needed to use the character, but she said she would bow to fan pressure about the name.

Actually, if Lauren Faust had still been in charge at that time, the controversy probably wouldn’t have happened, as she envisioned Derpy as a silent background character doing Harpo Marx-style gags. Which, as much as I love Derpy’s voices, would have been all kinds of awesome.

@Psychopomf  
Yeah, and that it was racist because Celestia has dark gray guards, and that Celestia’s horn is offensive because it’s a phallic symbol.

It’s just filler text. The idea is that if Lauren had been in charge last year when people on tumblr said Derpy was offensive, she’d’ve kept Derpy the same and written a rebuttal, instead of running off with her tail between her legs, apologizing profusely and censoring Derpy.
 
It’s based off of her response after pretty much the same thing happened on Ms. Magazine when someone said the S1 premier was offensive.
