Huh, so I'm way behind on watching MLP:FIM, but according to Tumblr, the latest episode featured Ditzy Doo/Derpy Hooves getting speaking lines for the first time. Cool beans!
*watches the scene in question*
...
WOW GUYS THAT WAS SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE.
I mean making the name "Derpy Hooves" canon was already uncomfortable, but then they had to go and make it like TEN TIMES MORE UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM ALMOST IMPRESSED BY HOW MUCH CRINGE THEY MANAGED TO CRAM INTO THAT SCENE.
Normally I'd say a show's writers should listen to their fans, but this ceases to be a good idea when the fans in question mostly hang out on 4chan.
ugggh

What's really sad is that there are some Brony fanfics that treat "Derpy" with more respect and give her a much better portrayal than what we got in that scene.
