First it was bullying a girl into attempting suicide on Tumblr because she didn't draw the character "right" and now they're even going after writers on the show (one recently deleted her Twitter). They're so hyper sensitive and ready to scream about absolutely everything they find "problematic".
It's one of the best kids cartoons that's been on TV in a long time so it's upsetting that so many people think it's OK to hurt real people over fictional characters.
First off, the reason that a friend of mine gave for the bullying was because they drew the fat character (no idea what her name is, never saw the show) skinny and "that's how (character name here) wanted to be. If she wanted to be skinny, she would have chose that type of body." Ok. I understand you explanation and, though I don't know what you're talking about, I get where you're coming from. However, YOU DO NOT BULLY SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO FUCKING DRAW SOMETHING THEY LIKE!!!!!!! Like yeah that's not part of the character design, but do you want to know something? I see so many Amy Rose/Shadow the Hedgehog ships, Fat Rosalina pictures, and just so much porn of people who are celibate or asexual, and yet I don't get upset at these things. I may not like fat Rosalina, but I don't tell people to kill themself for make picture of her. I'm just glad to see people express themself in a way they find comfrble.
Secondly, I've met fans of Steven Universe that have gone "Yeah, we don't acknowledge those fans. They make us look bad and we don't like that side of the fandom."

Has My Little Pony been erased from the universe or something?
Last I checked those fans were pretty awful. Although, I'm not big on checking up on cartoon fanbases these days.
I haven't met a bad brony. It's more the haters that make it look bad for whatever reason. The fans just go around showing love for a children's show, which last I checked, is what a good number of anime fans do with Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon. It's a little girl's show? So what? Most boys when I was little watched Power Puff Girls and Talked about it all the time. It's just a show. I've seen worse shows. They could be talking about Monster High. The Haters need to stop hating. If you don't like the show, don't watch it. If I can deal with the Doge meme everywhere I go, Haters can deal with MLP.
