but it wasn’t as pathetic as it is today

@maverick159  
Honestly it probably started in the 90’s when pop culture started pitting boys versus girls in all of our advertising. Have a condensed dose of it.

@maverick159
 
Same…

@Silent Wing  
sigh i miss the 90’s

Well, 1/5th of the population are Feminists, unfortunately. Also SJW’s. Nasty stuff. People don’the understand how things actually work.

@Silent Wing  
that’s the world we live now

“Everything is sexist. Everything is racist. Everything is homophobic, and you have to point it all out!”

@Silent Wing  
What’s the “problem”, hmm?

@Background Pony #0B5E  
I love her character either way. She’s spikes poler opposite, Complimenting him in every facet. Baby dragon, raised by pony’s, soft hearted and easy of trust. She’s rough and tumble female, raised by dragons to be hard and unfeeling and even less trusting. Cant wait to see what this means for pony/dragon relations.

@LuminoZero  
Exactly the problem.

@Background Pony #0B5E  
‘ruin it’
 
Sorry you are incapable of just enjoying the show when the fans do anything that isn’t strictly canon.

Do you know Anita Sarkeezian or Laci Green? I think those women would be some fine friends for you.

@Background Pony #0B5E  
people ship characters in the show that have literally never met each other in canon and this is what you’re complaining about

If you fine, shipping-name searching folks would care to take a gander at the forums, instead of mucking around with the tags.

@Background Pony #0B5E  
Wow, someone’s salty about Spike finding a GF :)

@Background Pony #0B5E  
Hey SJW. How’s it going?

God forbid that two characters of opposite genders share a friendly interaction without the fucking “shippers” having to come in an ruin it. I swear that some of you people are so desperate for any kind of romance in the show that you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel for “shipping fuel”. What is truly sad is that the writers have to fucking spell it out for you taht Spike and Ember are FRIENDS - yet you still somehow dramatically miss the point.

@Background Pony #1D49  
Are you a wizard?

@RektPony  
When I said that no ship is alive, I was referring exclusively to canon (married couples not included). Fanon brings whatever creation to life and has the ability to keep anything going.

@Background Pony #6930  
Then enjoy the show. People will treat shipping as part of the show discussion as it isn’t impossible for characters to be romantically involved and have right to imply or suggest it. It isn’t a discussion that analyze if the ship is canon but possibilities and development of Spike.

@Darth Sonic  
My sister’s wedding was in Cancun. Fantastic place, lots of rare Mexican birds, creepy Mayan ruins, lovely beaches.

@RektPony  
No. I don’t see it happening in the very least, they just friends and nothing more will become of that.
 
You see, My Little Pony is about friendship not romance, it isn’t about Spike getting with somebody, it is about Spike becoming friends with somebody and nothing more.
 
It’s a good thing that I’m not a shipper, because I think shipping characters who don’t have any romantic feelings at all is ridiculous.

@Background Pony #6930  
He was very excited when he first saw her for the first time. The ship is still the more likelty than his previous ones.
