  • The Furry Fandom has a very similar case to the above mentioned Brony fandom, due to the abundance of yiff artwork on the internet. It gets to the point where the furry fandom is seen as being consisted entirely of furry porn.
Furries were frowned upon for their vast amount of porn way before bronies were a thing. Also, the page says "fanservice". Yeah, a very vague term about what producers make to keep their most loyal customers and attract more potential profit is now just "naked attractive people".
And yiff goes beyond "fanservice", it's porn. Nothing but porn. Ranging from vanilla to the most obscure things and even absurd art.

Plus, notice on how they sound salty over the anime and manga trope examples whenever they write "lots of emotional scenes/deep character development/typical bitching on why ecchi shouldn't be perceived as just tits and ass".

Not in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic itself, but part of the show's infamy comes from the sheer volume of Rule 34artwork there is of it. The Brony fandom is often associated entirely with that kind of artwork, even though it's only a small section of the fanbase.
Trying to hide the gross behavior of bronies by saying "it's only a small section!"
:story:

I don't think this is what "fanservice" means, although the show's naming a character "Derpy" is arguably a form of "fanservice"
 
Also I don't think something can be considered fan service if it isn't canon to the media, or at least made by the creators. All the pornography of pokemon characters shouldn't count for fanservice since it isn't canon and is a fan-creation.
