Er... why?

Because some people think that SHOWING A FEMALE PONY WITH DERPY EYES = NEGATIVE REPRESENTATION OF MENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE, AND THAT IS BAD TO SHOW THIS TO OUR CHILDREN

Well, I don't know the real reason behind this, but I believe that may be the case.

There are still the original episode copies floating around, so we're pretty much fine. Just disappoint with the fact they omitted out Rainbow Dash saying "Derpy" and underping her eyes. It's a bit ridiculous at how badly this is being blown out of proportion. I will only be truly disappointed if THIS episode edit means future AND past episodes won't have our googly eyed pony Derping it up.

*Keeps a close eye on news of changes to Derpy for any future edits made in past/future episodes. *

Wouldn't it be a good deal more insulting to the mentally disabled to assume that a pony with weird eyes and an inconsistent voice is Ponyville's equivalent of a retard? And that also kind of messes up her idiom -- she had odd eyes in every single episode she was in until this "fix."

I think her eyes are still Derped for this episode, just not as severely. Let's chalk up the excuse to "the lightning temporarily corrected her eye sight". Oh god! That can be the perfect fanon excuse! brb posting this on Ponychan so to calm down the fans.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWW, the new voice has so much less emotion in it. And this whole thing is just ridiculous.

The extended intro has been leaked.

I can see why Hasbro wanted to shorten the intro to 30 seconds, I found it maybe TOO long and it kinda dragged a lot with these silly puns. Then again, I've listen to the TV version a million times.

"When danger makes me want to hide, you'll Rainbow Dash to my side".

Hahahahaha...I don't get it.

There lyrics are cool, but it's too long to be in the show.

If you didn't know the artist, you would admit it's a neat drawing of a pony OC. The ears and tail looks really cool. Most Pony OCs I see are just blatant, wretched, rehashes from a pony creator program.

Da heck? So they underped Derpy, and took out her name? That's pretty lame.

Bronies forever going to circulate the "original" episode around the internets because of this.

Oh hey, it's Slugbox's OC!

Oh hey, that OC looks pretty nice. And the art is pretty to look at.

>Slugbox
Oh boy
Does that mean he will make rule 34 of his own OC?

More on the current drama-llama.

And if you wanna add on to the list of social problems brought up in the show, just rewatch Hearth's Warming Eve.

Are you excited? Cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited! Well except for the time that...

Though they seem to have quickly deleted it after putting it on. Dunno exactly why but they could just be removing the "special 10000 subbers" thing as they said in one of their interviews they wouldn't dabble in such vanities and self-stroking of their ego.

Edit: And it's up! Though I don't think it's that awesome. The background music is cool and some of the lines are funny.
