ReverseFaller 2,484 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 It seems like females ship more, but males do indeed ship as well. I know I do. I'll ship Vinyl and Octavia forever. 1 Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 (edited) I have liked the term "normal" because it implies that anyone out of the ordinary is automatically wrong which is not the case. Shipping is something I used to stay out of both due to the fact that I wasn't interested in it and the fact that some shipping wars in other fandoms have gotten a bit nasty (and I don't mean the good kind of nasty aka rule 34). I have never had anything against anyone that does but for some odd reason MLP is the only thing that seems to bring out the shipper in me. The bottom line though is just like what you like and don't pay attention to what other people think, don't try to be normal try to be yourself. I ship, but I only ship characters I like with myself :3 So far I have only shipped Applejack with myself even though she is not the first fictional character I have ever had a crush on it is indeed the strongest I have had on pretty much any character. I am even going so far as to write a human/pony fic with me and AJ. Edited April 20, 2014 by EarthbendingProdigy Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion 20,271 April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Nope, I also do it, I ship Rainbow Dash with AJ because I think that would be adorable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamy Arty 6,252 April 21, 2014 Share April 21, 2014 Really? I see males ship all the time. Males here, male fic writers, male artists, etc. I'm not much of a shipper myself, but it's not uncommon. Kyoshi made this ^^ Come join us on Equestria.tv on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for our weekly movie nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,210 April 21, 2014 Share April 21, 2014 Yeah man! This is coming from a girl, but still. I think it's totally normal for both genders to ship. You just see two characters and think they would be great together!

Moonlight 7,288 April 21, 2014 Share April 21, 2014 I'd say it's pretty normal and I actually see it a lot. Some males might not be as open about it as females but a good bit do ship different characters. In fact, most of the shipping stories I read were written by males. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Blue 946 April 21, 2014 Share April 21, 2014 I don't understand shipping, it just doesn't make sense/ appeal to me. Why? Sweet Sig by Lunia Avatar Image by PegasisterJayfeather CM By Scilight Paitanibu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Alexer 763 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 The massive amount of shipping in this fandom was one of the first things that baffled me. I know that females ship a lot, especially in anime fandoms and mostly male/male but that men do it too so extensively and even with lesbian pairings? Yeah, that was new for me... But on the other side, i shouldn't be really that suprised about the amount of lesbian pony shippings which apparently make the majority of all fanfictions.

Shisko (Collin) 34 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 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 Pssh, of 'course it is! Is it normal for girls to ship? If yes, and no for guys DOUBLE STANDARD ALERT, SOUND DE ALARM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freewave 1,145 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I think it's pretty normal. Hell there was ton of Draco / Harry Potter shipping in that fandom which is kind of funny. I don't see how anyone could see the AJ/Rarity teamup in the recent episode without saying "oh buck already!!". Even the creators are to blame for many of these OTP's coming up. Or maybe its a natural thing for guys to see close female friendships and hope they are "closer". 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. Check out the 20+ Musician project Maressey which I am running.

Admiral Regulus 2,769 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 As a guy, I've written my fair share of ship fics before. There's really nothing too unusual about that. Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashy 2,800 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 I can see where you're coming from in that it's not typically considered the norm for guys to get all gushy over romantic stuff, but at the same time, we bronies aren't exactly known to conforming to the expectations society bestows upon men, are we? I ship, but I only ship characters I like with myself :3 Like, Champ x RD :3333 That's a'ight, I guess, but RainbowThrash is OTP and has a more appealing ship name. :3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarQuartz 13 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Well, because the bronies can be female or male... I guess that most of the pegasisters/female bronies ship, because most are into love and stuff like that... but the males could ship too,just not that often. Besides... *eyes shift around like Derpy's* we're all ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkybird~ 734 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Well yeah it's normal. Why would it matter if it was or not? http://i.imgur.com/1m3V4im.jpg ^full sized avatar picture there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callisto 1,877 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 Well I do more shipping than FedEx, and I'm a guy. Then again, I'm not quite normal, but I still think it's a very normal to do, for enjoys any character driven work. 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...
Kay Dreamer 884 April 28, 2014 Share April 28, 2014 It's considered girly because 'romance is girly mushy stuff' and 'men aren't supposed to have feelings' which is utterly and completely rubbish. If you enjoy shipping, I would say you're absolutely, completely normal, and probably a whole lot more honest with yourself than society at large. Ship to your hearts content! As an aside, the reputation would also stem from the fact that the writers of fan fiction are overwhelmingly female. It doesn't really matter. If you like shipping, just enjoy it, and who gives a toss what anyone thinks.
