Like others said, this can be applied to pretty much any fandom. For example, the Disney fandom.

“Character designs cool. Wait!”  
looks at Honey Lemon  
“Honey Lemon look like Rapunzel! DISNEY CHEAP LAZY HACKS! YAKS DESTROY!”

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I think he means that he thinks the yaks are supposed to represent the (minority) of people who complain (loudly) about the show when it’s not the greatest thing ever.
 
While one could make the connection, and it’s definitely not particularly hard (as shown with this picture), I would like to make the argument that this is Friendship is Magic we’re talking about here, NOT Teen Titans Go. DHX isn’t stupid enough to directly insult the show’s fanbase and this entire thing is more likely than not just a coincedence (seriously, the yaks could just as easily be those whiny brats that whine about their show/series/games/anything not being perfect, and they could just as easily be something the writers just made out of nowhere).

“Hey staff, people are losing interest in show. They say the quality is getting worse and worse each episode.”  
“Let’s make some exagerrated meta out of them and threw it at the zombies. It might well stir up some drama and buy us some time.”
 
DHX is trying way too hard if this really is meta.

I feel kinda like we’re having very different conversations. I assumed you were making some snarky remark about me having problems with this episode and the episode somehow getting the better of me because I was complaining and the show was taking a swipe at complainers.

Bit of a difference between ‘‘doesn’t please them exactly’’ and ‘‘fucks up almost everything’’
 
Sure, in that one of those actually happened onscreen and the other only happened in your opinion.
 
Also, the “sub”text of the Yaks’ attitude was pretty clearly a commentary on previously existing fandom behavior, not some kind of predictive attempt at a CYA shield against “criticism” for the episode itself.

Also, predicting that someone is going to criticize you doesn’t make you magically make you immune to that criticism.

Didja get the whole “subtext about perpetually unpleaseable fans who auto-label as OBJECTIVELY TERRIBLE!!1! anything that doesn’t exactly suit their exact personal tastes exactly” thing? ‘Cuz I got that part, and not only was it funny as hell, it’s a gift that keeps on giving whenever anyone slags on the episode for failing to exactly suit their exact personal tastes exactly.
