What we are all about!

What we are about:

History 

The My little Pony show has been around for decades but recently re-made and became famous on the internet. It started a following known as "The Bronies". This group is made up of adult men and women who love the show for what it is. Which is teaching children about love and tolerance. Which is what they are all about.

One of the ponies in the show became something special for the bronies. Her name was Derpy, a fan-name. The reason for her name was because of her eyes, which were cross-eyed and looked silly. The definition for Derp means: A mistake, a brain fart, an oops. Or it can mean Silly, clumsy or klutz. This definition can vary, since this is an internet slang and not a true word. They were a mistake from the animators who noticed a tad bit late. But the fans loved her. She became such a fan-favorite that soon she became to come out from being a background character and had her own personality. She was suppose to be a "Where's Waldo?" character but because they knew it she appeared more. Then one day, she talked. That was a good indication for the Bronies that the Hub knew about them and enjoyed their fandom. But sadly, this was gone after a while. The Hub decided to get rid of Derpy. They got rid of her eyes, voice and name, which went back to her original name, Ditzy Doo. Why? Because the company received angry emails about her. Saying that "They were making fun of people with disabilities." The creators and the Bronies didn't do this intentionally. Rather, it was a nickname. They loved her so much because she is what she is.

Our Mission

Derpy should be thought as something deeper. She looks and acts different and yet people love her. My little pony is about love and tolerance, what better way to teach children this than Derpy? One thing that both adults and children should learn: We should accept people that are different, and we should love them and ourselves.

Derpy is herself and people love her, children can learn from her to love themselves and treat others well, no matter how different they are.

In this world, children are being bullied for being different, for being disabled, gay, race, etc. Children can't defend themselves at all, so who can help them?


That's why Derpy is a good character to promote love and tolerance. Our mission is work together and work to make the world a better place for every child, no matter how different, they will always be love for them.


Smile! Have a Muffin!
