The original voice was actually a mistake on the voice actor's part. It was misunderstood that Dərpy's character was male. So the voice-change is a legitimate fix. However, the removal of the eyes and the name kinda bother me.
Yes, that's the part that bothers me too. However, there were apparently people that got offended that Derpy was "mentally handicapped". First of all, I don't think the way Derpy was depicted could be considered mentally handicapped. She was an absent-minded klutz, and that's all.
Secondly, I'd like to say, even if she was mentally handicapped, there shouldn't be a problem with that. There is a youtube comment that can pretty much sum up the views of many: "as a disabled person im more offended that they thought portraying a disabled pony on tv is offensive." Disabled people do not need to be separated from other people. That in itself, can be offensive.
