scans_dailyHaving had our attention called to a matter of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, this is a moderator team announcement:
As the name 'Derpy Hooves' has ableist connotations that are keenly felt by many, and by members, we ask that this pony's original canon name 'Ditzy Doo' be used in discussion on scans_daily and noscans_daily.
As her official name change was a result of fandom momentum - since it was a nickname she gained directly because of her strabismus - we are comfortable asking that fandom consideration for those hurt by the name might come first on this community. We're sorry for your inconvenience; please do your best to respect this request.
Thank you!
Note: Comments are screened - you can register your opinion, but we don't want repeated debate threads.
