It’s more that when people assert that because AJ and Rarity are joking around to each other it ‘‘must’’ be shipping, without a hint of sarcasm in their tone, that one has to bring out the reminders.

strange enough, those who go around saying “no fun allowed” are having fun themselves.  
WAAAA HAAA HAA!

@Grieffon  
Filthy other ship peasants. Behold the glorious Rarijack master race!

@professor_of_hoers  
Son, look at my uploads. I’m no stranger to those goggles.

@Itsthinking
 
I think you misunderstand what shipping goggles are. Also:
 

@Grieffon  
Again: they had no clue what shipping even is.

@professor_of_hoers  
Price and Cook had no clue whst “shipping” even was.
 
But to play devil’s advocate,that’s more of a smug look and she also had a photo of Spike, sooooo….

Fun Fact2: Alcohol isn’t silly juice. It’s necessary juice.

There are so many Rarijack interactions in the comic that I’m really thinking they are done on purpose.

Fun Fact: Alcohol is sometimes called liquid courage, due some people saying things they wouldn’t otherwise.

@professor_of_hoers  
Of all the possible pairings (not even considering shipping), the Rarity/AJ is the most obviously humorous one in a “Odd Couple” fashion, playing city vs country mouse against each other. Hence why its very easy to pair them up without shipping goggles.

That drink is so powerful, it needs three umbrellas.

But yeah, hence the shipping goggles. What can I say; it’s my only OTP of the series (I like several ships, but this is my otp) and it’s just too cute and wonderful for me to avoid.

And I only say that because I like Appledash a lot.

uhh…the resolution sucks…is all blurry and shit.

@professor_of_hoers  
Likely not intentional.

By “you all” she means Applejack. That is my personal conviction with my shipping goggles firmly in place.
 
They are so cute together… ;_;
