I think the "My Little Pony" franchise will be in hot water again...

Remember how a few parents raised a stink about the "Derpy" character?

Well, at the end of today's episode, they had this one:

Going to be trouble...

These are the usual Ponies in the show.

They didn't make this Pony fat, they made it EXCEEDINGLY fat.

Don't forget the couple of parents who raised the stink about the klutzy cockeyed "Derpy."

I think it's a pretty good show. Has that one not made it to Netflix yet?

in "Tanks For The Memories" earlier this season.

Apparently this character is this season's running joke pony; there have been other such ponies in past seasons

And Derpy is now "officially" named Muffins and had a substantial speaking role in Episode #100. She is back in canon and good graces, though nobrony calls her Muffins.

And yes, I am a dedicated brony.
