By the way, I've never seen the whole Bronies vs The Internet thing as a big deal. The thread derailment and whatnot was mildly annoying at times, and I was a bit confused by the sudden influx of MLP stuff, but for the most part, I was just kidding around whenever I've mentioned "turning the tables" and whatnot.
In my experience, the derailment is often caused by the other people overreacting to a random image macro than the bronies just going on and on.
Example:
Someone posts an image that says “Woohoo! The Above Poster Rocks!” Now, if this image included a picture of Princess Zelda, Aang, Master Chief, Ash and Pikachu, Batman, Leonardo DiCaprio, a Rageface, or even a friggin’ “Arrow to the Knee” Skyrim guard
*, it would be okay. But if the image included Applejack or Fluttershy, the next 20 posts are guaranteed to be people complaining about My Little Pony. Now, who really de-railed the thread, here?
Yes, there are a lot of bronies that go overboard. But that goes for every fandom.

* Okay, people do complain about Arrow to the Knee, but usually only if it is specifically saying something about Arrows to the Knee. I would expect him to get a pass for simply “Woohoo! The Above Poster Rocks!”
