> It's good to take a step back and think
yeah, especially when I noticed a few hints that the poll made me believe that I had to see this with the cold blood. If I hadn´t noticed that poll, I would have probably taken this episode less seriously. 

> The question becomes whether painfully average = Mediocre. My problem with it is more structural on top of that
basically that it has its series of problem for you to not care about them while watching it. That falls more into a personal level. 

> the show being accused of being right wing in some form. 
you can be all politically correct that you want and hop onto the trend and feel like you ttake part of it but if anything shows a little message that deviated from the SJW and you become the enemy (you know fascist, nazi and whatever aka "stuff that I don´t like" the meme).MLP stopped being a show for them as soon as those two "infamous episodes" happened and cause property damage to the site that banned NSFW. 

> It's a real artificial drama that drains from fun. 
that doesn´t simply apply to this, I am surprised that it hasn´t caused more impact to the show. If you check the latest memes since 2015/16 (?), most of them are political and have a pretty short life span for that reason, they aren´t all that fun save a few exceptions. 

> I've seen /pol/posters freak out over there favorite waifu being dressed in Israeli grab just to mess with them and not just shitposting way .
I would describe them as those elitists who used the expression Filthy Casual. Instead of videogames, it applies to their beloved target: Le Happy Merchant people. 

> It's the reason why I could never go to mlpol.
I haven´t lurked there much save for a few days and check their first page a little bit and that fanatism just blinds them. Even at my worst on Nov 16, I didn´t reach the level of hating all of them, just the elites because they decide lives because of their decisions. That forced lens is a requirement in order to fit over there, it´s an unwritten rule that one should know and apply it all the time. 

> Is what any true student of social justice would say.
the saddest thing is that you are not all that far off and I believe that they would go further than what you have posted. Fortunately enough, they haven´t dealt with that topic. They would be capable of saying that the changeling culture was better in the past (besides opinions on their designs), despite getting hungry all the time. Who knows but I would expect literally anything

> MLP is far from true stupidity in that. Maybe gen5 will be different but there is little agenda here. 
tha´s what will make a little bit more timeless than other shows because it focuses more on universal values that will get repeated on cycles. It´s reminiscent of an empire but the empire evolves along with their members while they develop and enrich their traditions by their own decisions. 

> I may want to try something to rewatch Castle Sweet Castle and other /comfy/ episodes and see what I'm saying is correct or examine if I have some more objective metrics for such episodes can be made and prove my own dislike wrong.
yeah, that practice could help a lot at pointing out what directions have been made in the writing. They would create a contrast even though I don´t know which episodes are all that similar to Uprooted besides CSC save for the comfy vibes 

> it took me probably about a year to realize it was one of my favorites
the ride isn´t just an experience for the fandom but to a personal level as well. I don´t have a clear example of growth over big periods of time.It could possibly apply to The Cutie Remark if I revisited it nowadays but one episode that has grown off me was Boast Busters. There are much better Trixie episodes than that and the epic action that happened at the time falls short in comparison to what we´ve got. 

> I know at the end of the year I could love this episode 100%, but as of right now it... er, too bland.
only time and your personal level will tell. I only can offer arguments in its defense towards this poll:  >>/3952/
