I don’t know. I do take it as exactly what you say. The episode targets at some of the more over-complaining fans. I mean some of the points they make are pretty spot on and I can also see they’re making fun of themselves a little bit. (I think Pinkie Pie’s bit is partially to show they acknowledge they can make Pinkie Pie too funny.) There are also the subtle hints that say there are fans who just appreciate the characters like Amethyst Star and White Lightning. I guess those are just too subtle but I like the fact that I can find things to show they do appreciate the fandom.

This episode is about the negative side of the fandom. They’re not gonna show a bunch of fanboys who absolutely adore Fluttershy because they know there are people who do. I know there are Fluttershy complainers out there. I know, but honestly they only show about 4 ponies crowding Fluttershy over her “learning the same lesson”. It kind of proves they know those fans are only few and far between. I believe there are definitely a lot of Rarity haters in the fandom though. That one seems pretty accurate to me too.
Also you want mean spirited in this episode? Imagine if they did the Applejack background pony joke. That’d really put the fandom in a very negative light.
