I don't know which 'you' you're using there, I'm choosing to believe every instance of 'you' after the first sentance is the general you, and could easily be 'they', because as I say I won't let it slide. I don't associate with people of any fandom who do let it slide. The bronies I know and tolerate are not asshats, and do decry the actions of the shits mentioned in the post.

So I say again: It's not the entire Brony fandom, it's just the worst of the fandom. And the worst actions will always be easier to see than the best, particularly if that's all you want to see.

No asshole is "universally got after" for their horrible behavior. I hate to get all goodwins on you, but the worst example of humanity I can think of would be Hitler, and to this day there are people who will defend his actions and beliefs. In fandom at large where it seems like 90% of the people are just awful scum, it's always going to be difficult to hear the voices of the decent people, you can't just assume they're not there, well you can but that's not going to help anything.

Take your voice, for example. This community knows you as 'That crazy chick who hates all bronies and will show up to froth and rage.' I don't mean to be mean, but a lot of people here would put you in the category of 'the loud 90% of internet hatemongers' in spite of the fact that your aims are overall good. If you were a part of the 'Brony' fandom you'd be a genuine asset to the people who don't want the horrible shit to slide. You're dismissing and abandoning the people who genuinely don't want that shit in their fandom.

"You're worse" Minor Point: No, The people who sexually harrass innocent cosplayers are worse. The people who let it happen and encourage it are sick awful people and need to be removed from the species, but the actual act of sexual harrassment is far worse.
