Not only was the Scapegoat Creator line rude and unnecessary, it isn't even a case of Scapegoat Creator, since the entry-maker obviously blames the writer, when Scapegoat Creator would happen if she wasn't responsible for the entry-maker's distaste for the episode, merely blamed for it.
Wait, how were "Putting Your Hoof Down", "Hearth Warming's Eve" and "Dragon Quest" Base Breakers? The former was, to my recollection, pretty popular, and had some people who were meh. Hearth Warming's Eve was a very popular one as well, and the only real complaints were from people confused about the alicorn flag deal. Dragon Quest didn't get a big "BEST EPISODE EVER", but neither did it get many protests.
If we're going to say those three were Base Breakers, surely this episode, with the OOC arguments (which, for the record, I disagree with completely), should make it one as well.
Seems like the troper just included the other three to give the sentence a better ring to it than "After one very controversial episode, one that a few people were iffy on, one people kinda liked but didn't much care for and one people loved".
Seriously, hasn't Merriwether been Rescued by now? Are we going to be back here in a month saying the NEW episode Rescued her, and this one was ALSO controversial on account of the "heavy character exaggeration" of Pinkie?

Is fucking EVERY episode a base breaker?
And really? We're using the YMMV pages to complain about the lack of Derpy?
Fanfiction I hate.
Given what others (Discord) have been able to redeem themselves afterward, I think this warrants further discussion before adding. I'd be inclined to keep it until she shows more positive moments.
Any thoughts?
