Editing Derpy Hooves incident (section)

== Prelude ==
One infamous controversy which might have been the cause of the incident as a whole was something called "Derpygate". For context, fans were enraged that parents talked to Hasbro (the company behind the ''My Little Pony'' toy franchise) about how the character Derpy was depicted as a disabled character. This caused the company to censor a lot of things relating to the episode from season two that happened, "The Last Roundup" (aired on [[January]] [[January 21|21]], [[2012]]), specifically on the beginning.

Many fans decided to honor Derpy with videos and animations like "Save Derpy". [[Adam Katz]], the individual behind the incident, created a whole YouTube channel dedicated to the character on [[April]] [[April 5|5]], 2012 and began activity just [[April 7|two days]] later. Note that this was around the time [[Inanimate Insanity|''Inanimate Insanity'']] was during the first season. During this time, the channel now has over 48,000 subscribers and had thousands of views at the time of the incident.
