Because 50% don’t know what satire or meta humour are.  
And what… are you saying that FiM can’t do satire as well?

Apparently, 50% of this fandom have never watched Family Guy.

Is getting confused about the moral of the episode in which a lot of ponies missed the point an incredibly meta joke, I wonder? If so, I’m not sure whether to applaud the cleverness or go off on a barely-related tangent about something, refusing to listen to any contrary points raised against my rage and possible insanity.

I think that viewers are basically misrepresenting the whole “message” and taking this whole thing completely out of proportions due to having severe butthurt.
 
The whole thing that the episode is that CHARACTERS IN TV SHOWS ARE NOT PERFECT and that you shouldn’t let your foolish expectations get the best of your enjoyment.

Not a moral, but not a wrong statement either.

The writers want audiences to learn the lessons told from their work and enjoy/appreciate what is given to them, but instead, said audience is
-Boasting about a pony, to the point where they consider them best pony and refusing to see flaws (Rainbow Dash)
-Complaining about a pony for their flaws and refusing to see any positives, to the point where they consider them worst pony (Rarity)
-Trying to make other characters involved with others, like making them a family, kind of like making an OC related to an official character or even have that OC make a family with said character (Applejack)
-Whining about how there’s a lack of development for a character when there were clear signs of it and when they do see it, they shrug it off and don’t care for it (Fluttershy)
-Never understanding what makes a character enjoyable to begin with and just like said character just because (Pinkie Pie)
-Putting the work into a display just to collect dust when it should have been read or seen so the person could actually learn something, but instead, they make it a collectors item (Twilight Sparkle)
 
And in the end, the only fans who really get the lesson are children, because children can accept the characters as they are and not try to fit them into an elaborate head-canon. (Toola Roola and her filly friend)

The entire episode to me was just the Toonami Haters speech in episode form.

I knew a lot of people were going to blow this episodes lesson out of proportion. The real lesson is that regardless of the stupid internet arguments the writers feel if they help even one person with the show than it is worth it. Remember that they had foals arguing outside as well about Rainbow Dash being the best.
 
Edit: I think the major issue here is people are taking them being foals far too literally, and not getting they are stand ins for anyone who gets the lesson of the show.

Nah, the lesson is that fandoms are shit and ruin everything

I think the moral was probably “stop reading so far into something that’s just meant to be fun, and enjoy it the way it was intended.” That said, there were adults and kids doing the annoying shit. We’re all guilty of it at least a little.

I’m pretty sure they do understand. Last season I saw and shared a lot of criticism on how Starlight was handled, and in Season 7 not only those problems seem to have gone, I’ve noticed many “tongue-in-cheek” likes addressing them (Trixie saying how she was feeling Starlight was getting “boring”)

The episode was enjoyable and while these situations hit too close to home, I can see where they’re getting at.
 
Excellent comment. Thank you for laying it out so clearly.
 
Thinking about it, the episode has a great double meaning too. Not just on reflecting on fandom itself, but also on seeing celebrities and public figures as people and not just as projections of your interpretations of them.

You seem to lack understanding the difference between such criticism and blatant whining.

@Jarkes  
Yes it isn’t constructive criticism I never said anything like that was. but there is constructive criticism to be giving to the staff
Dizzy Pen

@Rappy0  
No. They want CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not fanboy-ing and complaining about headcanons. There’s a big diference. @SnakeyThingy pretty much gets it.

“I hate this and the writers are lazy who clearly aren’t putting in effort because I personally didn’t like a thing” is not constructive criticism.
