I can honestly say that I have encountered few characters that truly touch my heart in some way, shape, or form. Its even less often when that character goes beyond its own show to inspire me from its impact on the community. This little pony has risen to be counted of the handful of characters that has touched my heart so.
While the show has only begun to scratch the surface of this little ponies potential, its fans have already made her into a dedicated worker, loving sister, and even a deeply devoted mother. Despite her physical difference, her fan base has seem to only portray her as a purely innocent normal pony living out her life with just a bit of a fondness for muffins. It is from the love her fans have for her that I came to adore this little pony.
Which is why it saddens and hurts me so to hear about all the rumors of opposition to this pony. As I see it, characters like this that have inspired such good connections within society should be seen as positive symbols. Despite what you might think of the supposed metal status of this character, her portrayal has only gone to show that no matter your differences, you can be just like any other. I think that is a wonderful character for children and even adults to learn from. I can only hope that either the rumors are false or that hasbro will see the good in keeping this sweet little pony.

If not... well...

Derpy, your perfect to me.
