Hello. I like to take a moment... or a few minutes, to discuss something that's been boggling inside my head for quite some time now. As you may have heard, Studio B at Hasbro made a few 'Changes' to the bronies' lovable canon character, 'Derpy Hooves'. Not to long ago, Studio B modified her by changing her voice, redoing the script for Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves, and possibly fixed her eyes (Not sure if that's true or not) due to complaints. But the thing that got to me the most... was the overall reaction. Most bronies in the community didn't quite take this message so lightly... while the others didn't care. Now, as a brony, it was shocking at first, but then it was completely understandable. Do you know why? Because I am a human being... you're all human beings... and all of you should know that too.

The real reason why there are non-bronies out there hating on us, is because they can't see through to us. Blinded by misjudgement, they shun us for our existence. And that too... is completely understandable. Imagine if you were one of the guys that refuse to like the Friendship is Magic franchise, and you think of the brony right in front of you is not normal. Believe me, if I never heard of the MLP community, I'd be in their shoes right now. You see, bronies and non-bronies are like... well... indifferent perspectives. But at the same time, it's the same as wars going around in this world. People have different perspectives, beliefs, and even dreams. We aren't forced to like/dislike what we're shown. It is us humans to determine what is right for us... and us alone. That is why we have free will.

I heard of a certain prophecy, that a single person will come out and bring 'True' peace to the world. A world not with war, hatred, and indifference, but a world where we humans understand one another. It goes the same as a single brony uniting all peoples alike, and usher in a world of friendship and harmony. If there is true peace, then there can be only 'one' way. And that... is the greatest problem of all time that we humans must struggle to find the real answer. Who knows, it could be me, or even you, or possibly someone else in the world that might have came up with the answer. Or, someone else must of known the real answer in the past but couldn't tell us. Or even, someone in the nearest future will be able to find the answer. Only time will tell, when we are ready to evolve into more than just humans.

Back to the subject, this message I'm sharing with you is the exact feeling of Derpy's change. Friendship is indeed magic, but not our way of life. Please understand that people have different perspectives in their lives, and we mustn't shun them for their decisions. Sacrifices are to be made if we are going to find the true answer. No matter how much we spread our 'Love and Tolerance' to bronies and non-bronies, we are all still human. No matter how messed up we are, what we believe in, or what choices we make, just remember... we are human beings... and we have free will. That's as far as we can get into understanding one another... that is how far true peace has gone. I understand how you all must feel about Derpy being modified, but you mustn't let this go through in your heads. This world isn't yours to control... you can't just demand things the way you want them to be. It's up to 'all' of us to determine what is right for us... and what's not.

In conclusion, Derpy Hooves was just more than a symbol to us bronies, but a noble sacrifice into bringing true peace to the world. Honor her existence, be proud of what she was and what she will be. Try not to force people into like/disliking stuff, it's like taking their free will away. Let their perspectives live on, for it is the drive that shows us that we are humans. Love can't exist without hatred, and good can't exist without evil. The more you think about it, the more you will feel so free of yourself. I hope this message got through to you bronies, non-bronies, and others alike. I may not know much of my vocabulary, but my heart and ideals are more than enough to show you all how I feel right now. For no matter what happens to Derpy Hooves, she will always be our Derpy at heart. Thank you for your time.
I feel like this message should be spread as much as it can throughout the community, the United States, or even the world. If not, then that will be fine too. I just feel like this message should be heard as much as possible. You can choose to take my opinion or not. Either way, it's just a fact that we all must deal with every day. I am not forcing you to agree/disagree with anything here. The main reason for this message is this: Let us be humans the way we want to be. Let us view and express free will the way we desire. For that is one of the main reasons why living makes everything worth while. I'm not saying we should stop the campaign to save Derpy, I'm just letting you all know that nothing good will come of this if we don't start respecting one another's perspective. I just hope that my message is taken seriously, not to just cheer people up. I'm going through such overwhelming emotions right now that you wouldn't begin to understand. One of the main reasons why I post this.... was to not be lonely anymore. I lived my whole life not hanging out with my friends, because they don't seem interests in me. Why? It's because my perspectives are way different from theirs. I'm always sitting alone during lunch time, rarely hanging out with my friends. It's for this reason that nobody would understand how I feel. If I never heard of this MLP FIM... I would of commit suicide long ago. Please take this message at heart, I want to be the supporter for the bridge that leads to 'True' peace in the world. Anyways, I hope you all understand that Derpy will always be Derpy... no matter how much she's changed. We made her... and that... is something that Hasbro, Studio B, and/or the FCC combined wouldn't take away.

EDIT: 2-28-12: Considering Derpy is safe is little importance to this message. I didn't waste my time making this just to support the campaign to save Derpy, I made this because I feel like you all should be more stronger next time. Not only that, even more stronger when you feel indifferent from the world. If you dislike someone from their perspective, just ignore them... and respect their point of view. It's as simple as that.
