Well it wasn't exactly 4chan. It was Ponychan (Though Ponychan is still kinda crazy)
 
I don't know if it's too late but I think everyone here should sign the Save Derpy petition:

http://www.change.org/petitions/hasbro-studiosthe-hub-do-not-change-derpys-name

I put my city and last name but for address I put (address withheld)
 
You're late with that Mason. Everything's under control and there's no signs yet of Hasbro planning to change Derpy's name. I wouldn't worry about it.

I know I'm late.

The petition still doesn't have enough signatures and @savederpy's most recent tweet (although February 11th) says "Sadly, people are thinking that the mission has been accomplished, despite the fact that TLR is still down, and no official news."

And yes, there are signs. Hasbro was pressuring WeLoveFine to remove Derpy Merchandise.

http://savederpy.com/ <--- according to this site it's not too late to sign the petition.

The Change.org Petition has been re-opened. If you have not signed it yet, go ahead and do so now. Otherwise, we are still just waiting for any news.

I WOULD worry about it. Worry, everyone! However:

Hasbro is aware of our complaints. Hold off on sending anything directly to them for now. We need to monitor the situation and wait for an official response from Hasbro specifically addressing Derpy. Follow our twitter account. We'll update with information as soon as we learn it.

I know this is old news but a lot of people still haven't signed the petition.
 
Why change Derpy's name- it's awesome. They would change it to somthing lame like 'nutty' or 'crazy' or even worse 'loopy'
 
The WeLoveFine thing is over too. I believe the products that were temporarily changed have the name Derpy back.

Even at the height of the thing there was really no proof that Derpy Hooves was in danger of getting the name changed. Both the fans and Hasbro gave large attention already to the crisis and the fans even got an official message of reassurance by Hasbro. The whole thing started from an overreaction from a few people sending letters to Hasbro claiming Derpy's appearance was insulting mentally retarded people. I believe what the petition was trying to do anyway has already been fulfilled. Everything that could be said about it has already been done. There's no need to overreact the other way around about the whole thing.

I understand your concern Mason but really, it's alright right now. We're still getting appearences from Derpy. in episodes and assured more. Plus I believe the Derpy scene is intact on the Friendship Express DVD. Unless something really weird happens. Derpy Hooves can be assumed safe.

Hasbro originally called her Ditzy that's why

There's actually no proof of that. They did mention a pony that as far as we know we never saw in Winter Wrap-Up (Although some people especially after Derpy was confirmed believe that a pegasus that looked similar to Derpy but with a Purple mane and tail as her) named Ditzy Doo.

But Ditzy Doo afterward just became an alternate name in case there's anybody that didn't like Derpy Hooves as a name as much.
 
I'm concerned if any show gets affected by people jumping in and claiming things are offensive. Also okay, what if randomly all the Mane Six pony names were deemed offensive and they had to rename all the ponies? It would suck.
 
Well, anypony can find anything offensive. Check what our wiki is about, for example:

Mario and Luigi are Italian sterotypes.
Peach is offensive to women, her always being kidnapped.
Yoshi is a slave to Mario, him riding Yoshi like a horse and leaving him behind whenever he wants.
Wario not only makes flatulence jokes, but makes fun of morbidly obese people.
Waluigi makes fun of people with anorexia.
Shy Guy makes fun of ugly people, saying that they have to hide their faces in shame.
Boo stays still when Mario faces, but stalks him when his backed is turned, referencing mugging.
The Super Mushrooms Mario eats references drugs, as he eats it, he grows, and he goes around stimping things.
Animal cruelty is referenced with Koopa stomping, frog suits, and Tanooki suits.

See what I mean?

Besides there are more adults and teenagers watching the show then 4-9 year olds, so what difference does it make?

Anyway, to be on topic, I guess it doesn't make a difference what a pony's name is in the long run, but we don't deserve to lose a name we're used to and I don't think we should put our guard down when it comes to people being offended and trying to ruin the show. I remember when that woman wrote a column online about "subliminal messages" in MLP and Faust herself wrote back a really good retort. And that was unrelated to the Derpy incident.

I laughed so hard at that, I KNOW I'm going to Hell! XD

Also, I just saw this video, in which John de Lancie talks about his experiences with My Little Pony.
