1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/10/nightmare-night-2013-spooky-harder.html#more The music that came with this post]]. It's rather fitting, considering that the post itself is about the site's yearly horror story-writing competition. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2rwxs1gH9w Here's the actual song.]]
2	* FandomRivalry: At one point in time, the site had a ban on all ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''-related content (though it would seem that ban has since been lifted), much to the ire of Sonic fans who also happened to MLP fans too. This is likely is due to the fact that the Sonic fanbase (especially in the early 2010's) has a '''''terrible''''' reputation amongst greater nerd culture, and many bronies - mindful of their own poor reputation - go out of their way to deny any association with them. Same thing with furries, though there is some overlap between them and Sonic fans.
3	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Equestria Daily regularly reports on new episodes of the Japanese dub being released. You'd think that this is because the show is popular in Japan, but as it turns out, the Japanese dub is actually more popular outside of Japan than it is in Japan, which is due to the show being overshadowed by a plethora of other shows featuring the same themes.
4	* HilariousInHindsight: Phoe's OC looks almost exactly the same as the later official pony Diamond Rose (who was initially [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner toy line exclusive]], but is [[CanonImmigrant making the jump]] to the ExpandedUniverse). This resemblance [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/hasbro-we-need-to-talk.html is]] [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/merch-randomly.html noted]] in a couple of Phoe's posts.
5	* NeverLiveItDown:
6	** When Phoe was running the artist training grounds, one of the themes she proposed was ropes. From that day forward, her OC is portrayed as [[BrainsAndBondage having a thing for bondage]].
7	** For a while, fan fictions submitted to the site were subject to some ''very'' biased pre-readers, who accepted things based on their own personal preferences; many good stories were rejected simply for having LesYay shipping, being human in Equestria stories, or a myriad of other reasons that aren't stated in the rules. And, of course, there were pre-readers accepting ''anything'' they happened to like or that was written by someone they knew. The mods are much stricter now about pre-readers actually following the rules, but they still get a lot of hate as though the change never occurred.
8	** Creators who get subpar work featured on the site (either due to submitting it without realizing it isn't that good, or due to someone else submitting it for them) are going to end up the subject of mockery due to a ColbertBump resulting in a flood of negativity.
9	** Equestria Daily is forever associated with making the infamous "Background pony" joke about Applejack, that and the joke later on about Applejack's implied dead parents, to the point where commentators were arguing whether or not [[SeriousBusiness people should feel sorry for fictional characters]]. This resulted with the joke being removed.
10	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many commenters' reaction to the comment system switching from [=IntenseDebate=] to Disqus.
