Issues with "derp"

[sqbr]

Can someone give me a link to a post about why "derp" is abelist? There's a discussion on my twitter list, and there's no way I can summarise it in 140 characters.

(nb I am also pretty sleepy, so don't feel up to explaining it here either. If you're interested, I'm sure someone else will post a link eventually)

The origins are from a movie made by the creators of South Park. Look on Know Your Meme. The original documented occurrence had nothing to do with people with intellectual disabilities. It has arguably evolved, however, at least in some folks' usage.
