Actually, it may not have anything to do with Pony's behavior or the context of the word "derp." For all we know, it could be Hasbro trying to cover its flank from the possibility of fans suing them for using a name they came up with. We don't exactly know everything going on right now.
Oh Lordy... I kinda saw this coming. Here are my thoughts on the matter:I personally feel like the show and the fandom should be separate. Hasbro made a mistake in introducing Pony to the show. The show is intended for and marketed to young children, not people in the "brony" age range. And I think it should stay that way. If Hasbro keeps this up, the show is going to be completely run by bronies. Hasbro is just losing sight of their target audience if you ask me.
I have heard Pony's eyes started as an animation error , and it kinda went from there

Besides Disney's Goofy, there is Patrick from Spongebob and Ed from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. The only thing they got from the "brony" fanbase is the name.
It's not that Pony should change, but given some positive traits too. Being clumsy may be endearing, but it's not a strength. Also, seeing how she was treated by RD, what should change is how she's treated.
