Magical Anarchy 177 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Okay, so I assume you all know what "shipping" means. If you don't, it's basically when you put together two characters together in a relationship. (It doesn't have to be romantic, but how many ships are there that aren't). Shipping is popular in FanFiction-like stories, and I've found more females do it than males...and I ship...So is it normal for males to ship or is that weird. My friend ships, and I ship, but I haven't seen any other guys do it, so is that weird? -Guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 It's normal, nothing wrong with it.

Onylex 2,837 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 (edited) Lets put "normal" in quotations, I think your definition of "normal" may be different from mine. I dont know why it wouldn't be considered "normal" though. Edited April 20, 2014 by Onylex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dainbow Rash 80 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 (edited) Define normal. Because by society's imaginary ideas of what is normal, is it normal for males to enjoy MLP?

Felix 1,363 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Really? I only see males ship. x3 But yeah it's pretty normal. Everyone does it pretty much. I sometimes do it myself. Not much though. 1 Credit to Kyoshi for the awesome signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,860 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 I ship, but I only ship characters I like with myself :3 Like, Champ x RD :3333 Rarighost > RainbowChamp Yeahh, I ship. Most fandoms ship I'm kinda picky, though Relationships are serious business. Rarijack/Rarishy are the only two good ships with Rarity/another mane 6 Of course, RariDash and RariPie would have an interesting dynamic, but I can't see it working out, honestly. I also like CheeriMac quite a bit Maybe some TwiPie and some Flutterdash, too 2 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!! Check out the Rarity Fan Club!

SomariFeyWright 776 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 ... You're joking, right? Of course it's normal for males to ship. When you grow attatched to characters, it's only natural to imagine their interactions with others and come to see them as romantic, perhaps even inimate depending on the kind of person you are. Or perhaps you just find it cute. I have a few ships for both, and more. As a male (albeit an agender one) myself, I LOVE shipping, and I could fill a wall with all the ships I have. ... Okay, probably just the front and back of a sheet of spiral notebook paper, BUT STILL. 2 Awesome signature made by Tromino.

BastementSparkle 20,326 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 It's completely normal. I don't have an OTP or anything like that but I certainly think some shipping stories are cute. I even like some M/M stuff, I'm not interested in it in a sexual way, I just think some of it's kinda cute. What's wrong with that? 1 Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums!

SveciaDash 364 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Sure! I really like this ship, it looks pretty and is made by my fatherland, too bad it sank after like 30min after it left the harbor. 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_m-Ez3W5h4&index=1&list=FLLNWmj4RL7o54o2Txvsj8Ag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Yeah, it's alright. Next to female shipping, it's cool and okay with male shipping, it's just that since a majority of characters are females in MLP, you can see why it's not too common to see male shippings.

Shimmer Down 668 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Normal is all in the eye of the beholder. Shipping has quickly become one of my favorite parts of this fandom. Big fan of Rarijack and I don't know if ScratchTavia is the official title for it, but that's what I've been calling it. 1 "My past does not define me 'Cause my past is not today."
