Dr. Eggnog 203 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I've read some shipping/romance/clop fanfics and enjoyed them. Sometimes I have to stop and shake my head a little because people really will do ANYTHING with ponies, but it's mostly it's all good fun. I never really think the word lesbian anymore. The reason female characters are paired up so often is because the focus is mainly on female characters in the show. Personally, I really like the idea of Rainbow Dash liking Fluttershy. I love you.

Mand'alor Dash 2,224 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 The problem with lesbian pairings is that all of these characters are either confirmed straight (Rarity, Spike, Big Mac, Cheerilee, the Cakes, etc), or their sexuality hasn't been explored yet, which leaves a huge possibility for the pairing to get Jossed. On top of that, homosexual characters are very rarely done well. When a writer is more concerned with making a gay character than they are with making a good character, then it just comes off as a forced attempt to be "edgy" or "relevant". Take, for instance, Cortez from Mass Effect 3. BioWare really only wrote him in with the intent to have him say the word "husband" as soon as possible. His personality was not well developed, and his backstory was highly unoriginal. And that's not even getting into how they took Kaiden (a previously straight character), and suddenly turned him bi for little to no reason. Obviously, there are exceptions (the sweet filly in my sig being a very notable one), but it's still far more common for a gay character to be written simply for the sake of having one, rather than out of actual artistic vision. If you're a shipping writer, and you feel you can avoid both of these taboos, then I say go for it. But please remember that you need to stay true to the characters you are portraying, and that you should always make character traits feel natural. Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary.

Kitty Cat Moonshire 629 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I really don't see the point in shipping. To my understanding it's just mental clopping But if you find some interest in cartoon characters dating, go ahead, be my guest Make sense? What fun is there in making sense?

Shanks 10,816 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I am not too much into shipping in general at least not with all the debates/wars over it but yes I like lesbian shippings because well All joking aside though I will admit that there are some pairings lesbian and the occasional heterosexual ones that actually are kind of cute.

Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 Lesbian shipping all the way. I'm not opposed to hetero ones, they just make me jealous, especially if they're about Vinyl or Fluttershy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterdash. 52 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I don't mind any kind of shipping. By the way, I'd like to think of the FlutterDash and Rarijack ships are just friend-ships. /badpun I just don't like the though of them being "together" though. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongBrony 419 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I believe that they are all straight. However, I'm a big fan of FlutterDash. I think it's just a fun little thing that bronies do. It's a tv show so I'm not going to get bent out of shape over it. However, while I love to ship Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash together, if I were a pony, RAINBOW DASH WOULD BE MINE!!

FlawlessMissRarity 13 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 yes! I love shipping! it's so much fun! I will ship just about any couple. I find beauty in all couples, I love ponyxpony shippings. I really love Raripie and Flutterdash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veronica The Miffvixen 232 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 (edited) I dislike shipping altogether for MLP. I mean, come on, people. It's marshmallowy colourful ponies. It's already finely treading the line of saccharine, and shippings put it a disgusting magnitude higher. Edited March 10, 2013 by Veronica The Fox 1 Young, Incredible, Free, and Fly.

Cocodrillo 1,565 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 (edited) Reading all the posts... Shipping =/= rule 34. Shipping =/= french kisses&shit. Shipping in general = love, relation and crap like that. What's so disgusting about it? And that's why Coco fancies shipping. Well.. one of more reasons... Edited March 10, 2013 by Cocodrillo 1 Try to try again To see yourself again from time to time.

Silverstream 51 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 If the story is good, then i can read a lot of shippings. My main one is Luna/Twilight is my top fav with flutter/dash or flutter/rare on the side of goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiliciousAlkoi 369 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 I don't mind pony lesbian shipping! I gotta say my favorite shipping has got to be Flutterdash because they are so cute together Credit to Kyoshi for making this Sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azura 1,107 March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 Of course, I love lesbians! Yes, since they aren't doing much harm and since the show mostly consists of female ponies, it's kinda weird to ship everypony with just the small amount of stallions.

Callisto 1,877 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Eeyup! I like both hetero and same sex shippings, I'll read just about any shipfic that slightly peaks my interest. Although any hetero ships involving Twilight tend to make me jealous...is that a bad thing? Y'know, I've been on this site for almost ten years and I've never had a proper signature. Ain't that something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loriem 639 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 For me personally, I don't like the amount of shipping out there, but I don't really care because it doesn't affect me much. But I'm more or less invested in MLP FiM for it's innocence, I don't want to make them all, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just some guy 1,070 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 I don't really care who's being shipped with who,as long as it's good.It could be a TwiDashJackMacTom ship for all I care.If it doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth,I could care less who's getting shipped.

Scootalove 10,689 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Yeah, I don't mind them at all. It doesn't matter to me if it is heterosexual or lesbian, I really think people are free to write shippings like that or at least fan fictions about them.

Zygen 6,066 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 I don't know if I really care which one it is, as long as it makes sense or its like a fanfic thats well written then I'll read it, but I've read some fics with the mane 6 paired together, and I've read some good writen ones and some bad written ones. It doesn't bother me that its one way or the other really, I don't mind lesbian shippings, I also don't mind heterosexual shippings, again as long as they're written well or whatever.

~Silver Essence~ 2,625 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 (edited) I'm not gonna lie, yes, I like it. But I don't clop to it or something, I do enjoy reading it at times. Mostly with fluttershy and rainbow dash or rarity. There just so damn adorable together! But I don't see why people argue with it that much.

~Scootaloo 440 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Lesbian Shippings? Really? way to try and bait people into an argument. The last time I checked two or more female together does not make them mates. By Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Durango 119 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Hell yeah I like them. In fact, I like a lot of lesbian/yuri shipping. It works for me, for perverted reasons or not. It's...what's the word...more interesting than normal shipping. Of course I'm not one to focus on a lot of romance stuff in general (not anymore; those days are...not really gone, but I'm not obsessed with it like i used to be). But yeah, the MLP lesbian ships would resonate with me better than most ships. Why? Because KISSY-KISSY GIRLS AND DRESSES AND CRUSHES AND STICKY SWEET OO-LA-LA.

Megas 27,696 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 (edited) I'm kinda neutral on it, it's kinda awkward seeing all of the mane 6 being shipped with each other, the fact that it's a kids show doesn't help, and I'll admit do favor hetero pairings like SoarinDash, CheerieMac or SweetieSpike(all of which are my favorites), but I can't deny that some same sex ships are adorable like TaviScratch(?) or PinkieDash(which probably goes against what I said earlier but w/e). And some people do make pretty good stories with them Edited March 11, 2013 by Megas75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdream 221 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 i prefer hetrosexual shipping, but then again i dont mind lesbian shipping either. i suppose i dont really mind wither way im fine. My OC's My DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Mouse 84 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 I just don't really see the stallions as that big of a part of the show, thus it kinda makes it hard to see anything than lesbi. Oh well, I don't mind the straight either though. Honestly shipping isn't really my ballpark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
