Of course, changing it just offended a different group of people. I know that there was a faction that felt uplifted by the fact that Derpy was Derpy, a beloved character with disabilities that shows that everyone is worthy of friendship and affection, and the change made those people feel like their representation had been marginalized.

It's kind of a no-win situation.
