Edit: The problem is her voice coupled with how she acted. If she had sounded not mentally challenged, but kept the clumsy slapstick, then she would have been that silly clumsy character. But, since she sounded retarded while acting clumsy, it just made her seem actually retarded.
It was funny, but offputting as well.
She sounds like she went full retard.

Derpy's quirkiness seemed a bit much, but there's no sense looking a gift horse in the mouth. It was awesome! And I have to admit, it's in proper cartoon form to heavily over-emphasize the traits of a character; making Derpy's "retardedness" over the top like that is cartoon-appropriate.
Pinkie Pie is weaponized excitement!

If you look at it that way, then every single main 6 character could have a mental illness. Especially Pinkie Pie.
She's a silly character. She has a silly/lighthearted name, she acts silly and knocks things over, and her eyes look silly.
The younger viewers would never think shes challenged or anything, only the adults would. It's just like saying Bert and Ernie can't live together because it looks like they're gay, or that they need to re-name "Sesame Street" to "Sesame Park" because it encourages kids to play int he street.

Twilight Sparkle would have OCD.
Pinkie Pie would definitely have something wrong with her.

All six of the ponies are weapons of mass destruction, even Fluttershy.
(How could cuteness and shyness destroy the world? Go back to "Swarm of the Century" and figure out what allowed Ponyville to be destroyed. Hint: It wasn't the swarm the five Katamari-Damacy'ed into the Everfree Forest.)
Her VA is also Applejack's VA. It's reasonable to think something would show up in RD's voice when AJ's got so many lines varying widely in emotion in the same episode.

It's not about what the younger kids will think. I don't give a fuck what they think. The show is enjoyed by an older audience, and as an older viewer who watches the show, I'm expressing my views on what I saw. I found Derpy to be funny, but offputting at the same time, because she really truly seemed mentally deficient.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to see her there with speaking lines. This kind of fan service is unheard of. But, I think they went too far or just didn't handle it as well as they should have.
Pinkie Pie acts like she does have mental illnesses from time to time. She probably does. But, it's not as blatant as Derpy's actions or voice acting.

The sad thing is that with the insane number of people that go out of their way to be offended by stuff I suspect this will give them even more fodder for stuff to get angry at.

O hai people : D
I'm just gonna randomly jump into this thread and say that I like ponies~ I've actually been a collector for a couple of years (G2 is my fav~) and am super impressed by this new show, honestly I don't think there's been a pony cartoon this good since Escape from Midnight Castle, or rather the first time that we got something other than a glorified commercial XD
Still a little dazed by how popular it's gotten though. Some days I think that bronies don't actually exist and it's all a product of my deranged mind expressing my inner desire for a world populated by pony fans (seriously I've met like five bronies at my college so far).
But yeah! I'm loving G4 so far~ (wish the toys were of slightly higher quality, but they're way cuter than G3.5 so I can't really complain)

Hasbro is releasing new blindbag ponies so I can't complain, the new ones are a little bit better than previous blindbag ponies. I wish they'd fix the fluttershy blindbag pony.

UGH yeah. I could stomach the G3 movies, and even Twinkle Wish Adventure (barely) but Newborn Cuties.... After about five seconds I just couldn;t take it anymore D:
I was never a fan of the ponyville sized ponies, but I admit the blind bags are growing on me ;w;

Blind bag ponies are small plastic figurines that come in tiny baggies~ You don't know which one's in it til you open it, hence "blind" : D
