I believe we made a topic when Snape killed Dumbledore. Back on topic now?
The trouble with Derpy Hooves is that she's been a fan favourite for so long in the background that any more fleshed out depiction of her will inevitably disappoint some sectors of the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fandom.

She only has a female voice because the target audience of the show is young girls.
EDIT: I bet they thought the unstraight eyes would make children be scared at night or something ridiculous, but as a male teenager I don't really care about the show. |

I don't watch My Little Pony but one reason they may have changed her eyes is politcal correctness. |

the thing is that like two people in the fandom got all mad when she was portrayed as "dumb", obviously glossing over lets see, ed, billy, patrick, goofy, and more, the lovable dumb classic characters. it really wasnt that big of a deal but a few people complained so much that hasbro changed it. :/

Dude I KNOW. DX
They shoulda left her eyes the same, at least. I think they gave her character. Gumbo made a good point up there regarding this... ed, especially. he was incredibly derpy, yet recieved no opposition as far as I know. I guess we've just entered a more politically-sensitive... *cough*lame*cough*...era.

I believe most of the comments were from Australia. Think about it and let it sink in.

I wonder if the fandom is getting too much sway with the producers of the show - if they're altering things too much for fan service and neglecting to make their own creative choices?
I don't think that Ditzy Doo would have been such a terrible name for Derpy, if the producers wanted to make her a more prominent character.
