[Previous][Index][Next][Follow me on twitter?]* * Edit, March 28th 2014: As I re-read what I wrote below, I can’t help but have second thoughts about the opinions I stated. I still like Derpy’s old dub better, but I don’t think the reasons I gave below are the right ones.Consider this page a big, fat middle-finger at the redubbing of Derpy in The Last Round Up.Of course, my real gripe is with the redub is Rainbow Dash. Initially, she was annoyed, exasperated and indignant with Derpy, and let it show, like you’d expect from her. But, in the redub, her performance became wussified. More patient, more coddling, more condescending, and ironically, given the redub was supposed to be less so than the original, even more offensive.Think about it. In the original, we see Rainbow Dash treating Derpy like she would treat anyone who did something bothersome, whether they were mentally impaired or not. It was natural, made Dash a perfect foil, and made the scene uproariously funny.However, in the redub, even though Derpy herself was changed to be “less offensive,” (that’s politically-correctese for “seem less retarded,” I guess) Rainbow Dash treats her like she actually is retarded. Patient, coddling, condescending. If I were retarded, but still able to process and express my own feelings while understanding those of others, I’d find the new dub more insulting than the old.The former scene would show me that people will treat me the same as they’d treat anyone, retard or no, for good or bad, that in their eyes, even if I’m a retard, I’m still a human. The latter scene would show me that people are not going to act like themselves around me, that they’re going to make exceptions, give me special treatment, because I am retarded, and thus, in their eyes, less than human.I wouldn’t want special treatment, I’d want to be treated equally.I guess what I’m trying to say is that whatever you do, whatever scene you write or edit, you’re going to offend someone. Try to change so that you don’t offend one group, and you offend another group. And if you keep trying to change yourself so that you’re less offensive, eventually the only option let for you will be to disappear.So, I address you, writers of Friendship is Magic, given the two versions of a scene are both offensive to different sets of people, you must ask not which is more palatable, but which is more authentic? Because inoffensive is not the same as right. * *My Little Pony (c) Hasbro,Friendship is Magic was created by and assistants.
