This software is “Final Draft” in case anyone else was wondering.

@Red Cedar  
Why?

Why she will forever be Ditzy Doo to me, in a nutshell.

>source

While it probably still would have been a bit too long, this scene would have worked perfectly if the view had switched around so that we could hear Dash shouting “YOUR LIGHTNING IS GETTING SO COOL!” AND “STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!” from Derpy’s POV.
 
@ArrJaySketch  
I wonder what would have happened had they actually showed Tabitha a picture of the character, too  
I’m pretty sure we found that out in Slice Of Life; I can’t frick-a-frackin’ find the source now so grain of salt and all, but I remember seeing a con report where Tabitha said at a panel that the characterization in Episode 100 is pretty much how she would have voiced Derpy in the first place if she hadn’t been under the misapprehension that “Ditzy” was a colt.

@Tragiclady  
I like the way you think.

If I were somehow able to hang out with her, I’d ask her what she would like to be called.
 
Derpy, Ditzy, or Muffins, I know which pony people are talking about so I don’t debate it much.
 
I’m still glad to read this little deleted scene here. Derpy the lightning god. Well lots of weather ponies work with that I suppose.

@Background Pony #2300  
I call her Ditzy Doo  
That’s just what I like to call her. Nothing major about it, really.

@Jarkes  
I wonder that, too. I wonder what would have happened had they actually showed Tabitha a picture of the character, too. I suspect that if she had the voice then as she does now, there wouldn’t have been any controversy.
 
Someone would probably still be offended, though. Seriously, though. I have strabismus, I’m a bit clumsy, and I love Derpy.
 
Ah well.

@Background Pony #093C  
I don’t get what’s so awful about having “Derpy” (or “Ditzy” or “Muffins”) be her nickname, to be honest.

I’m legit wondering if the controversy over her name would’ve happened if they had just stuck to calling her Ditzy instead of Derpy.

@Background Pony #2300  
Eh, there were some pretty insane Ditzy-fanatics, from what I remember. Even when the original TLR aired, I still saw people freaking out and claiming that “OHHHH DERPY IS JUST HER NICKNAME! HER REAL NAME IS DITZY DOOOOOOOO” and such.

I think this would still make an excellent scene. Too bad it was cut for time!
 
It’d be neat if this got animated, somehow, and whoever did it managed to avoid being C&D’ed into oblivion.

@Background Pony #CC96  
They did, yes, they just changed it after the first draft.

@Background Pony #08B2  
Ditzy has been a dead name for some time.

Ah, more fuel for the “Ditzy VS Derpy” arguments.

Because they’d use the name Ditzy Doo in the original script for the episode she was called Derpy in.

I remember! In all fairness the original scene WAS kinda unneeded. (Not that the show isn’t full of those anyway, but a general rule of scriptwriting is that we need to enter every scene as late as possible, as long as we get all the information).

@orbsah  
She just misheard everything, given the storm. “Stop” would’ve been “stomp” for her, for example.

I guess she’s a jerk.
