I was making a Richard Ayoade pony and my son interrupted me and insisted on making a "season 1 twilight sparkle". No peace to be found here.

I wouldn't call it a flame war. Just pointing out that most people dislike theories that call into question the innocent nature of Equestria's surface. In pointing out parallels, I'm being a "dick" because they hate it, but there isn't exactly a flame war started by it.

Did you hear about the Amy Keating Rogers thing? She said on her feed that Fluttershy wasn't transgender and an SJW troll started shitting herself and sending her nonsensical insults in tumblrspeak for hours.

The writers give no fucks:

The troll kind of ran into the room with their fists flying, so technically that statement didn't start it. What 'started' the whole thing was one of the ponies saying Fluttershy sounded like a dude that one time.

Most of them are pony names, so I guess those are names that both Transformers and ponies have?

Giant robots called Lickety-Split and Seaspray, really?

You got it.

Funnily enough, I cannot imagine the name Seaspray being anything other than a giant robot.

Fun Fact: Lickety-Split wants to bone Buzz Lightyear. I'm not even making that up.
