But I liked her good natured pov, where she clearly loves everyone around her and genuinely wants to be a productive member of society. All around, she's very much a satisfying fit for me.
Derpy is proof of the MLP spirit: love everybody, try to make the world a better place, that's all we want.
Actually, I think that might be part of the draw of the show itself: its the world that we as civilized people want to see. No strife, no hunger, just people willing to help one another.
I think for a long, long time, especially for men, but also for women, we've been told to keep our distance from everyone, especially our friends. Part of this is the anti-homosexual sentiment, but much of it is also the "independence equals strength" that sort of came out of the 80's, where you have this idea of "self-made people" who do everything on their own, and that's what makes them successful and admired.
To have that challenged in such a radical way, where everyone has a support base, and can feel included and loved and STILL do what they want with their lives, and BE SUCESSFUL...I can see where the whole "a man is an island" thing has just been pitched by the wayside - no one wants that anymore. They WANT friends. They WANT support.
And not only that, but other bronies want that as well.
So suddenly friendship, the pure full-loving sort, has come exploding back onto the scene in a very real way that hasn't been around (in my mind) since the 1940's.
To me, that a TV show with pastel ponies has broken that dam of men being emotional and loving towards each other...is nothing short of a miracle.
But yeah. Now I'm ranting.
I might just copypaste this into a journal at some point.
