adrianbrony: @thephilosophicalbrony first of all, a greater number of BRONIES are in favor of her not being changed. we are nowhere near the majority of fans. Second, it doesn't matter how many bronies want the show to be a certain way, because the last thing any show needs is its fanbase thinking the fans are the ones in control of the show. when that happens you will end up with an unpleasable fanbase because then the fans feel like they are entitled to something. If that is the case, that derpy was taken down, not because she was found offensive, but because hasbro realized that they were about to head down a path full of landmines, then the only thing the petitions will do is confirm that the fans feel entitled to their ideas being in the show.

sb42: @thephilosophicalbrony @scoot STOP IT WITH THE FLAMING GUISE. WE'RE ALL MAKING OURSELVES LOOK BAD. THIS ISN'T US. THIS ISN'T WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR. Love and Toleration, anyone? Or did that change, and now I'm out in the cold? I admit, I too haven't been the best recently with this whole !savederpy thing (which I still support), BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE. If not, Hasbro/Studio B are NEVER going to do anything for us ever again. We need to chill, let them come out with an official response, and then organize our PEACEFUL, ORGANIZED protests. In the meantime, listen to relaxing songs like Cara Mia, and keep checking the savederpy.com page for updates. I'm off! Sayonara!

macpony55: @thephilosophicalbrony This is the first time I've talked about it, and does one medium length post count as spam? Hasbro put Derpy on for us and now we're antagonizing them over taking her off because they're being sued, does that really seem right?

adrianbrony: @thephilosophicalbrony but there weren't just 10 people complaining, and even if all the bronies were on board with saving derpy, that is still a minority of the shows viewerbase. and even if it was the majority, you forget that not EVERYTHING is a democracy. Companies are only a democracy if it is public and you are a shareholder. otherwise, no, you are not entitled to have your opinions on the matter decide for them, no matter how popular it is. Like I said before, hasbro has been facing criticism from all directions, and if yoh think this is just about ableism, you need to realize that when things got a little unpleasant for us, we totally lost it. hasbro no longer knows if they can trust us when we send people death threats over a background character. They don't want us to forget who is running the show.

omni: @thephilosophicalbrony Democracy is merely a lie in an attempt to get us to believe our opinions are valued. How often does it happen that an entire street, city or even state protests against something the government decides but it still happens? Randomly googling for that and, for example, nuclear power plants will show a lot. Besides that, I don't think it's reasonable to apply "democracy" to a private business, as those are unrelated.

adrianbrony: @thephilosophicalbrony that's not how petitions work. they are suggestions, not demands. all a petition is is basically saying "this many people feel this way about this issue." It isn't ignoring a petition to not do what it says.
