If you want to join feminist_mlp there's a lot of stuff in there about contacting Hasbro. And I recommend contacting Hasbro with complaints over any of the creators because:

1) the creators have, uhm, shown their asses (I hope they were just blindsided but it was pretty disheartening)

2) bronies have inundated the creators with "don't listen to the haters, Derpy is AWESOME" emails so they're all like "yeah it's a vocal minority that's offended, thanks for the love guys!"

here's a not flocked post for stuff you can do. I contacted Hasbro in a "are you serious? You know 'derpy' is used on the schoolyard, right...?" letter. They told me they were bumping the issue to quality control, so we'll see
