why is it so many people go straight to Pony being a stereotype of someone with a disability? has no one ever seen some goofy person making a face? has no one ever heard some one that had a voice that was different? has no one ever seen someone that clumsy? what world are you living in where only disabled people are like that? as for her name, how big would the uproar have been if they had called her something else?

Not that i'm saying that anyone with such an eye problem is mentally disabled. In fact, the way they portray the only pony with this condition as an idiot is questionable in itself.
My point is just that it's a known offensive stereotype, so why include it? That just seems...well..insensitive.
