  1. I had not checked to see if you had a new topic on this but here is an idea for a Trading Card Game with the new cards. http://dudley.createforumhosting.com/the-enterplay-mlp-fim-trading-card-game-topic-t7830.html
  2. I am making a topic dedicated to saving Derpy (on my board). We will not relent until the original material is back in place on iTunes and Derpy's canon status is returned - or Hasbro sells the rights to her character to us - the fans who breathed her soul into her. They've yet to address the fact they deliberately altered her appearance and un-crossed her eyes. The fact they did that means that since her voice - her name and her eyes were changed at the same time to be less offensive means that they felt having crossed eyes is offensive. That people with disabilities are offensive. Intentional or not. They have ripped away an innocent soul from us and if you agree with me then let's re-group on g league and try to reason over time with our brother bronies. Realize that if you join me - you are no longer brony. You are derpy and proud of it. http://dudley.createforumhosting.com/post75727.html#p75727
  3. One thing is bothering me about all of this. How do you claim to promote diversity when the one representative you have of people with disabilities is changed to look like everypony else? It is saying that everypony should be 'normal'. It is saying that people who are different are bad. Dismissing the fact this is upsetting means you agree with that viewpoint. I don't love that. I'm certainly not going to tolerate it. They could have changed the voice and have been done with it - the voice was incorrect to begin with - that's been admitted. I feel the name omission is debatable. I feel that changing her appearance is unbearable. They went too far. Put canon Derpy back in place Hasbro. Put the original episode back up. If you agree with that then let's politely and in a civil manner communicate how we feel to them. If you love Derpy take action. No matter how small it may be. If you disagree or don't care - then continue on as you were. Love and Tolerate our position. We are not wrong for feeling this way just as Derpy wasn't wrong for being Derpy.
  4. Well that statement says that only the audio was modified when that isn't true - her eyes were also modified. “The ‘My Little Pony Friendship is Magic’ series has always been about acceptance and inclusion, and the series strives to convey that through the playful antics of a diverse cast of characters,” Hasbro spokeswoman Nicole Angello told us over email. “Some viewers felt that aspects of the episode ‘The Last Roundup’ did not stay true to the core message of friendship which is the heart and soul of the series. Hasbro Studios decided to make slight audio alterations to this single episode.” - Ms.Angello to Gawker
  5. I'm fine with the new voice. I'm fine with the name Ditzy-Doo. I'm fine with the changed iTunes scene with one exception - to un-cross her eyes makes the statement that people with disabilities are offensive. That's worse than the original voice and scene were!
  6. I disagree. *warning - wall O' text rant incoming!*
  7. Hasbro should have hired subject matter experts as consultants before doing anything. The road to Hell is unfortunately paved with good intentions. There are educated and prominent members of the community who could have tweaked that scene before it aired - if they were just given the chance. In the end it's like this:
  8. http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-untitled2.png nice perspective on things
  9. I think the Apple parents are a possibility.
  10. Shouldn't the 'mom denies child toy' be a separate topic from 'New Time Slot for MLP:FIM'?
  11. I don't know how relevant this could be but the Hub will have a new show this summer. Kaijudo. It's a reboot of the old card game Duel Masters which was very succesful in Japan but was sued into oblivion by Konami (Yugioh) for the manner in which they used the word 'Duel'. Kaijudo is already confirmed for the Hub. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wizards-of-the-coast-and-hasbro-announce-kaijudo-139055799.html http://duelmasters.wikia.com/wiki/Kaijudo http://www.comicbooked.com/wizards-hasbro-announce-kaijudo/
  12. I do not have a pic - but Time Warner Cable's latest commercial shows a white animated unicorn and I really think it's a direct comment on MLP's popularity. I'll see if that commercial is on the persontubes.
  13. PON3 is also getting her own toy. I think it's a very safe bet that she will be getting something. Lyra gets a ton of attention lately as well and she's getting a toy?
  14. You know Rainbow Dash was awfully anxious to get her hooves on some cider. She even ate the dirt it had fallen on. Then she is flying and has an accident? F.U.I. Flying under the influence. *sigh* She even turned to a life of crime shortly afterwards. Thank Celestia she has good friends to be there for her!
  15. I told the players in my local Wow Tcg league I pray to a cartoon winged unicorn every night. They took me far more srsly than they should have.
  16. I wrote the polite email and sent them a link to the over 14,000 signed petition. and derpy's name was re-instated later that day - I'm convinced if I and others had 'done nothing' as saberspark is suggesting then a character I for one sincerely love would have been erased forever. I love her. I can't bear the thought of going backward. Why give us something then take it away? It would have been better to have never received it. Excuse me. I'm going to the chimney for some reflection and thinking. It's time to think inside the chimney.
  17. No. It's not. The strength of the Brony Community is in the fact it does react. Why am I the only one who see's this? If we had not reacted with an email campaign today and a petition w/ over 14k signatures we would have forever lost Derpy Hooves as canon.
  18. Who is saberspark and why can’t I add him as a friend so I can IMMEDIATELY and respectfully disagree with him? Saberspark. Sir. We need to talk. Report to the Chancellor’s office. This was an obvious and apparent move to begin backpeddling from Derpy’s name to start corporate damage control. Corporations do WHATEVER IT TAKES to negate legal and financial liability. They perceived a liability and began taking action. If the community sat on its hands like you are suggesting here then we’d never have had a Derpy in the first place. MLP would be like every other show on tv with one way communication – your video is pleasant and your visual communication skills are flawless. Your reasoning is complacent and doesn’t serve the best interests of this community. ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ Edmond Burke
  19. some information I've picked up http://www.change.org/petitions/hasbro-studiosthe-hub-do-not-change-derpys-name You can send emails to here: Hasbro Toys & Games U.S., 401-721-7277, hasbrobrandpr@hasbro.com Canada: T: 905-238-3374 ext. 282, HasbroPR@Hasbrocan.com
  20. We fell in love in a hopeless place... Petition signed. Great job on joining this effort community! Regardless of the outcome we will LOVE and TOLERATE Somepony better go crack open the Elements of Harmony book and quickly.
  21. When you realize Rarity doesn't only apply to Yugioh and other trading card games
  22. Is anyone on this site in the Raleigh, NC area? I don't think so.
