* AccidentalInnuendo: One scene has a continuity error where Rainbow Dash's wings abruptly spread out between shots. Given that the shot in between shows Pinkie Pie coming out in a showgirl outfit, fans quickly began interpreting it as a "[[SomethingElseAlsoRises wingboner]]".
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did the bisons and settlers hated Pinkie's sharing song because it was awful, or because both sides felt like Pinkie was an outsider butting in and preaching to them without actually giving any useful solutions to their problems besides "just learn to share"?
* BrokenBase: This is the second most controversial episode of the season after "Feeling Pinkie Keen,"[[note]]Which shares the same writer.[[/note]] with many fans saying it presents an [[{{Disneyfication}} insultingly offensive simplification]] of the conflict between Native Americans and white settlers. Other fans believe that the story is not meant to be a direct parallel to the real-life conflict, and that the haters are taking things too seriously, and think the episode's just a good, humorous experience.
* FoeYayShipping: This episode gave quite a popular fan ship between Braeburn and Little Strongheart. It certainly helps that unlike most cases, they're not hostile to each other, and both were more than willing to see eye to eye.
* HarsherInHindsight: Fluttershy's memetic statement "I'd like to be a tree" took on a decidedly dark edge in Season 7, where she's among the victims of a serious disease that ends with turning into a tree.
%%* MemeticMutation: Fluttershy is a tree.
%%** "Welcome to AAAAAAPPLELOOSA!"
%%** Wingboner!
%%** "Everypony's gay for Braeburn" got this for a while after Braeburn became one of the few semi-developed male characters after Spike.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The three-chord intro to "You Gotta Share" is the exact same one (transposed down a half-step) from Music/TheWho's [[Music/{{Quadrophenia}} "Love Reign O'Er Me."]]
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While the episode tries to frame both the settlers and Buffalo as wrong for trying to fight, the fact that the Buffalo brutally demand the Settlers to get rid of their orchard rather than properly explaining about how their blocking their stampeding grounds makes them come across as entitled bullies. It’s no wonder the Settlers weren’t willing to compromise with them. The fact that Little Strongheart and some other Buffalo committed a theft of an apple tree doesn’t really help their case.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Little Strongheart has been mistaken for a male buffalo.
