I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't let it get under your skin too much when you see Derpy portrayed as being handicapped. Just remember that it's simply a case of "different strokes for different folks".

I can see where you're coming from, and how it might get annoying to constantly see Derpy portrayed as mentally handicapped. Then again, she's essentially a fandom-specific character, so she's free to be interpreted in pretty much any way. Personally, I view Derpy the same way you do -- kind of clumsy and a little dim. But not everyone shares my interpretation, and I'm fine with that.
