it wasn't the bronies that started this though. There was that thing about sending Micahel Rosenbaum sex toys: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Michael_Rosenbaum

I mean way back to the Trek days people were asking what Spock's dick would look like. People send their smut fic to actors or showrunners all the time. With the rise of twitter and more showrunners and actors being available, it's more common, but it's always been a thing that happens and embarrasses everyone.

Yep, this is very true. The Bronies may have brought the issue to the forefront (largely because they're predominantly males in a fandom for something that's largely for young girls), but this kind of 4th wall breaking has been going on for years. Plus, it's not always the fans who do it: I remember Giancarlo Volpe (showrunner for the Green Lantern cartoon) used to troll the GLTAS tag on Tumblr and 'like' smut made of his Donut Steel OCs (Razer and Aya) just to rile people up for fun.

Hell, back in the 90's, Tress MacNeill (a voice actress for numerous cartoons back in the day) had one hell of a crazed stalker fan, who constantly sent her disturbing messages that made her fear for her life, and bear in mind, this was before social media like Twitter and whatnot. They scared her so bad, she stopped going to conventions for years altogether.

And I'm sure if you asked the likes of Steve Blum, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, et al, I'm sure they'd have reams of stories of fans showing them things that probably should've remained hidden/out of sight/among friends.
