She makes fun of handicapped children.
The word "Derp" Is made by Two guys acting like handicapped kids. I have a handicapped brother. This character offends me, and being om A CHILDRENS SHOW makes it worse. I almost started hating the show because of it.
{Handicapped means children who have disabilities - born that way, they cant talk, have a bad ear, ect. }There is no official definition for the word derp, but it is not commonly used as a term for people with disabilities. And, the word was first found in mainstream media in South Park when "Mr. Derp" made a guest appearance. He was not mentally or physically challenged, he would simply cry out "Derp!" after hitting himself in the head with a hammer.
If I saw a crippled man I would not call it a "derp"- if my friend hiccuped when she was laughing and made a funny face, I would call that a "derp".

And on the topic of Derp, I am a derp, not disabled. Disabled means physically or mentally unable to do certain things. Derp just means clumsy or forgetful.Derp does not mean clumsy. That is just a fake definition covering the true hurtful meaning of the word. Derp is often used to mean retarded or stupid, and thus offending people with that eye disability or just any disability in general. I really dislike the name Derpy Hooves, and I'd rather use something like 'Clumsy' Hooves. I mean bronies said she was clumsy, right? So, I'd actually use a word that actually means clumsy.

So when you look at that, why would a person should, "MENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE!" at a time like that? It's really illogical (I know, I'm Daddy Discord XD) and people shouldn't get to hyped up over a word. I, actually, and somewhat offended that the 'offended' people didn't take the time to do the research and just went off of the opinion of the MINORITY. Yeah, flawless logic, I know. -_-" And furthermore, I have a friend who is JUST like Derpy Hooves and wasn't offended at all! If anything, she WAS offended because Derpy, being some 'offensive character who makes fun of handicapped children', who might I add was actually just being clumsy, was taken off, because she was imperfect. Now what sense does that make!?!?//endrant
tl;dr: So, all in all, Derpy isn't offensive, and people shouldn't taker her that way just because she's a little clumsy.
