Derpy Hooves censoreship



I know this is kinda late, but I simply could NOT just let it pass me without having some words into it, even if it was solved or not.

In January 21st 2012, Season 2 Episode 14 "The Last Roundup" A particular background pony originally know as "Derpy Hooves" was introduced into this episode with a couple of lines, not much.

The name Derpy Hooves originated on the Internet when a group of fans known as "Bronies", Spotted a Blonde maned pony with grey coat which was wall-eyed due to an animation error. Fans quickly posted about this onto the Internet, and named the pony Derpy Hooves, Studio B and Hasbro gave a nod of acknowledgement of this character by giving the pony a role in an Episode, this shocked many fans as TV producers hardly interact with fans.

Sadly and unfortunately "Soccer Moms" responded in such a negative way, saying that Derpy Hooves was offensive and intended to insult the mentally challenged and demanded correction of the eyes, and change of voice or just remove the pony from the franchise which was so popular, as a result to this Hasbro told Studio B to "correct" Derpy Hooves.

Hasbro has received 70 complaints about Derpy Hooves however a petition was made online by Bronies and other fans of all ages have signed and up to 25,000 signatures have been signed to keep Derpy Hooves the same however all the 25,000 signatures were ignored and Hasbro made Derpy Hooves into "Ditzy Doo." This cause a massive uproar in the Internet, fans of all kind, Armed Forces Personnels, Music Artists, regular fans, artists, animators and voice actors to explain that the name "Derpy" and "Derp" isn't an insult towards anyone who is Mentally Challenge.

My Rant
Derpy Hooves is NOT intended to offend anyone, it is the only first connection fans had with producers of a TV Show which many liked, by censoring Derpy Hooves is simply destroying creations of thousands. If anyone was to remove Derpy for being Stereotyping mentally challenge, than pretty much every other pony should get removed. Rainbow Dash would be stereotyping Jocks and Athletes, Apple Jack would be stereotyping Southern Americans, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle would be insulting people with OCD, Fluttershy would be offensive to Shy people and Pinkie Pie would be offensive to people with ADHD.
What is funny is removing Derpy for being "retarded" is twice as offensive than just keeping her as she is, People are forgetting that "Offensive is taken, not given" and as i recall My Little Pony has the name FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC and the point of My Little Pony: Frienship is Magic is about Love and Tolerance as well as equality, hence despite the difference of what the Mane 6 i.e Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy they all have a strong friendship and who knows Derpy Hooves could of had EXACTLY the same with every other pony


Here is a Video that just strengthens my point, Enjoy.

Idea of the Global Cadet Organisation

The idea of the Global Cadet Organisation was created by me, Michael Alexander Lee and the whole idea of it is, to bring the Cadet Organisations closer in terms of communications, Cadet Exchanges, and basically enhance the whole Cadet organisation experience more wider. Also the ability of the GCO is to Share pictures, videos, achievements

I am a Brony, but am i proud?

About 4-5 months ago I found myself looking up My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic videos, I honestly don't know why, so i cannot explain this reason. At the time i have never watched ANY My Little Pony episodes so i couldn't call myself a legitimate Brony.

It was not until 2-3 months ago I start to watch the very first episode of My Little Pony, and within the time I was awake I found myself to have watched 11 episodes non-stop, I then released I liked My Little Pony, soon within 2 days i had finish Season 1 and 2, but obviously noticing there was no Season 3, there wasn't much for me to do, but i noticed the more MLP Music videos I've been listening to and reading Fan fictions like "My Little Dashie" .etc i knew than I was a legit Brony.

So far I have told only 2 people that I am a Brony, both of which, were strangely enough not my closest friends i have on Facebook, I have told no one in my family. I am not ashamed to be a Brony, I am just unsure whether I can be bothered to even tell people that I am a Brony, it isn't important to other people that i am a part of the "Shitty Brony blight" as the song would quote, but i figured that some of my friends have sussed it out that i am a Brony but in all honesty, if someone asked me if i was, I'd tell them truthfully.

Vinyl Scratch look

 So around last month..I have gained the urge to watch the much loved and yet much hated Series called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
I admit, it's pretty cool, than again this is my opinion, but there was a certain pony that has caught my attention TWICE in the series, which is Vinyl Scratch (AKA DJ PON-3), no one knows what she sounds like but we all know she is a DJ so the thought of dubstep and other various different music.

Through fan-made pictures and fanfics and On-line video, Vinyl is a character i can relate to through her passion for music and probably her fan-made personality.

Anyways, i love Vinyl Scratch, she is my favorite pony, i don't really care what people say about my new look, yes i am male, but still, it will be awesome. Obviously the most hardest part of the whole Vinyl Scratch look is the hair dye, as i need to get the bleaching right and the blue hair right.

At the bottom you will see some All leather converse sneaker i did indeed design them myself and the cost around £67 i am not sure how much that will be in dollars but it will be worth the money i spend and i am looking forward to putting the whole look and clothing and stuff on, if you want to find out more about my new Vinyl Scratch look just ask and i will be sure to make more updates about it and take some pictures of me with the new look!

Pain in the butt

It's been too long since i last made a video helping cadets across the globe on my YouTube channel, it's a pain in the ass, i have too many videos to make and i don't even have a camera, and plus i broke my webcam, and in addition, the laptop of which my cousin gave me....is running Linux...WHY, LINUX!?

The problem with this Laptop is the fact that it doesn't allow me to install some programs that I want, such as Google Chrome, Windows Live Messenger, Sony Vegas .etc
