In Party Pooped, the yaks were slighted in a way that was very clear. Twilight and Spike tried to deceive them halfway through the episode, and they overreacted as they do. Furthermore, although they declared war, nothing came of it. All was forgiven within the next ten minutes. It was only a little bluster from a place of understandable, albeit unduly extreme, offense.

WOY is something else entirely. It displays Ember violently lashing out at the yaks and showing no justification for it until the very end of a two-issue arc. There are visible consequences, and everyone from Rainbow Dash's parents to Prince Rutherford is united against her forces. All is forgiven eventually but not before Ember takes over Yakyakistan and threatens the prince personally. It amounts to flagrant violence against a very wide cast of protagonists with no blame on their part.
