They call her names. They branded her as an insult, an offensive gesture to the world. They wished her gone, to be removed from the planes of existence, never to be seen again.
But she stayed strong. She would not leave. She had a right to live. To exist.
This is for you, Derpy Hooves...
What monster dared to dislike Derpy Hooves?
3459487 Not me! Derpy is the best pegasus in all of Equestria!!
I know I'm commenting on this rather late, but such is the life for a fairly recent Brony.
First, I just want to say that I didn't become a Brony until well after this controversy had pretty much blown over.
Secondly, Derpy is tied with 2 others for my pick of "Best Pony." (The other 2 are part of the Mane Six, but I'll let you guess which ones.)
That line reminds me of a quote:
-Unnamed guard from this fan-comic.
'Tis it true,
Others made you so blue
That you thought of losing life
By way of knife,
But was saved by ponies?
There are many bronies
Who went through this way,
They were saved when they
Simply said "What the hay?
Why not try MLP?
What's the worst that can be
For trying it once?"
And that has made all the difference
In this community.
