crazitaco 596 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 (edited) bleh i have to go with " i hate shipping" :/ .... and if i have to choose, it'd probably not be gay/lesbian. i don't really mind gay/lesbian pairings, but honestly i would prefer heterosexual.

Dark Fox 151 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 This sure does get plenty of bitching from the whiny contingent, shipping itself and the fact that most are lesbian shippings, first off it's inevitable and second, no one is forcing you to look at fics/pictures and whatnot, whining about things that don't hurt anything is pointless and just serves as another reason to feel superior to the bronies that interact and contribute to the fandom differently then they do.

poniesforfun 716 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 (edited) Lesbian/Gay shippings does nothing for me. Do people really find them romantic? Because I actually find them humorous or boring. I didn't even know what the heck shipping meant until I looked it up. And heterosexual shippings are only interesting if they're canon and are done in the show. Otherwise every shipping done by fans just sounds like a gateway to clopfics. Edited March 11, 2013 by poniesforfun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliel 116 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 IMHO the show itself is just too innocent to support any serious pairing. Characters having crushed on other characters as spike has on rarity is as far as I think they should go <-plz click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the less important characters have something going on for them. I suppose anything for the mane six would be reserved for later. EDIT: Though there was that one date between Rarity and Blueblood but ended on that same night. Edited March 11, 2013 by poniesforfun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardock 139 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 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... Yeah, it bothers me when people assume all shipping involves sex. A lot of it is just plain, sweet love. I've read several fanfics that portrayed this, and they were very well done.

poniesforfun 716 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 And lots of people that make these shippings confuse friendship with lesbian/gay love. There's one thing to see a very close relationship between two ponies but saying they're gay for each other is not entirely right just because they show compassion for each other. Lesbian/gay love usually implies sexual interest because the words themselves literally means "wanting to have sexual relationship with the same sex."

Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939 March 11, 2013 Share March 11, 2013 Only if there is a good clopfic to go with it! Eh? Eh? no? Fine... I prefer rarishy, appledash and flutterdash. pinkie Pie is too random, big mac and cheerlie will never be a thing, The CMC are too young. and princess twilight stoopid-face is no longer a cannonical charecter.

T.C Storm Chaser 29 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 I don't mind it but I aint a clopper who jacks off to this stuff. I just think it's cool to see what the fandom can do with it.

Pulcinella 1,016 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 I'm currently well into a heterosexual shipping (Doctor x Derpy FTW), but I suppose both are fine. I have arranged shippings, tho, so watch out... AJ x Rarity Pinkie x Dashie Twilight x Shy Vinyl x Octavia Doctor x Derpy Cadence x Shining Armor (Duh) Pipsqueak x Scootaloo And... Yeah. IF I SEE ANY OF YOU MESSING UP MY SHIPPINGS, I GONNA KICK YOUR FLANK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTSN 1,444 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Can't say I view them any differently than any other shippings. I like LyraBon and AppleDash, but that's because I think they make good couples and compliment each other well, it has nothing to do with it being a homosexual relationship. 1 Your very own Victorian-styling, airship-flying, super-sizing, brass-lining, quick-drying, detoxifying, low-pricing, newbie-knifing, over-driving, sometimes-hiding, unsurprising, ninja-fighting, perfect-timing, always-smiling, never-lying, best at writing, also rhyming automaton!

Rainbow Dash 1,472 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 I dont really care about shippings. Like many things in life they have their moments Some good, some horrible. The idea of seeing our favorite Ponies pursue a relationship with another pony is interesting but we have to remember its just made up and comes from the imaginative mind of a fellow Bronie. R.I.P.

Genepool 224 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Personally, I don't really care, but I do like the notion of "mare friends" to show diversity and acceptance in the world of Equestria. One thing I hate are super gritty, always in peril worlds, and the same goes for the opposite with your utopian" the world is so pretty and nothing goes wrong" type of thing. This striking balance of peril and blissful reality is the main reason which drew me into MLPFIM. Equestria world feels close to our own world, however, at the same time, it has that air of magical myster where you can succeed if you try really hard. Unlike the real world where there are people that try for all their lives to succeed but fail regardless of how hard they try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaright 76 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 (edited) As far as I'm concerned, shipping fanon is just like regular fanon. As long as it's well-written, I'm all for it. I have no aversion to it at all, as I regard them as nothing more than regular fanfics. Occasionally very saucy, saucy fanfics.

Suzaku 88 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 I don't support it at all. There's no canonical evidence that I can see for any lesbian pairings. Not to mention the fact that this is a children's show. There are other things I feel the characters would be focused on than romance.

PinkiePie Forever 65 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 God. This is why I can't relate to the bring fandom at most times (besides being a young girl) I just think it's wrong, to be honest. I don't have a problem, really, with lesbians/gays in real life, but when it's being forced upon straight characters... No. *looks judgingly at Sherlock fandom* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. *looks judgingly at Sherlock fandom* I'm sorry, no offense, but there is absolutley zero proof that any character in FiM is straight aside from Rarity. Nor is there any proof that they're lesbians, but seeing as the entire main cast is female, people kinda had no choice. 3 Y'know, I've been on this site for almost ten years and I've never had a proper signature.

Envy 6,169 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 Although I find shippings to be out of character in a series that is all about friendship, I think that Rainbow Dash x Pinkie Pie is absolutely adorable and have to support it anyway.

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 I'm not too bothered, cept when basic biology is ignored; ie, when two mares have a foal without a stallion. XD Btw, regarding horses in real life; it's natural for one stallion to serve an entire herd of mares. So it actually makes more sense to have few male characters. That being said, my favourite ship has to be Dr Whooves/Derpy. Signature and avatar by Pucksterv. Want an Equestria Girls version, a pixel pony, or an Equalised version of your OC?

Bardock 139 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 I don't care if it is a kids show, the shipping pairings are still adorable as hell. Flutterdash alone is more adorable than any other ship from any other show, IMO.

Freewave 1,145 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 I'm like fedex and UPS, if you can get it to fit in a box then ship it. If there were more good male characters you would see more hetero ships, but alas. Since the female characters are already much better developed and have had episodes to just how they interreact it simply enables how well the lesbian ships work in the community. I have made brony music since 2011. I like all kinds of music and genres. I'm sure you'll like some of it.. Here's My YouTube..I have several albums on Bandcamp and Pony.FM.
