>Lauren Faust had intended for her to be "Ditzy Doo"

>>29297383
I'm not gonna take the bait. I'm not gonna tell (you) that she really did say that.

>>29297399
i dont have the caps, but theres posts she made stating ditzy doo and derpy were always different characters. she had the idea for ditzy doo before derpy ever became a meme. the rest is a coincidence.

Reminder that her official name is Muffins and the name Derpy is irrelevant.

Ditzy Doo was a pony Faust had had planned before Derpy became a meme. She suggested that Derpy could be called Ditzy if the fans wanted, but the fans didn't want.

Stop this meme. Derpy being Ditzy was only a suggestion of Faust's. She had no intentions for Derpy at all.

It would still have been the best choice for a name considering what we ended up with.

>>29297570
Agreed. If she was Ditzy from the start, we never would've had all the Derpy drama.

I still say that whole "offended mom email" thing was just some anti-brony faggot who wanted to cause trouble for the show.

Oh, you mean like how we could have had Vinyl Scratch but now canonically all characters refer to her as DEE JAY PONE THREE? All because of autistic faggot fans? I see.

>fan of the fandom

>>29297628
Pretty much, I guess.

>>29297599
Yamino.

>>29297538
Best pony right here tho
I love Roseluck

>>29297599
from what i understand there werent any emails or complaints. they changed it preemptively based on a suggestion from their lawyers stating that it 'could' cause a problem.

>>29297901
Nah man. The staff member who was actually responsible for the change came out and explained it. They had to because the outrage from the, at the time, huge pony fandom was too much.

>>29297935
happen to have a source?

>>29297628
God fuck that stupid name
If they dont want to use the fan name fine but djpone3 is fucking retarded come out with something proper

>>29297628
Stage name.

>>29297947

I forgot that the final decision was made by Hasbro.
>tfw it's been 5 fucking years

>>29297976
>Derpy Hooves (aka Ditzy Doo)
immediately dropped.

>>29297959
We understand, it's just a shit stage name.

>>29297441
Muffins is honestly a horrible name, though I'm not saying because it's not Derpy but because they didn't really try at all.

Like you could've named her Bright-Eyes, Bubbles or something unrelated to her design and her fanon and would still be a bit better than the pastry name.

>>29298260
Easy handwave - it's a nickname

>>29298263
Yeah but now it's stuck with all her merch.

Though I am fine with a sticker of a muffin picture like most of her previous merch which was I heart derpface

She was ours. She became theirs. Bronies sole her
