@Cryosite  
Your choice of words in the first thing you posted could (should!) have been a lot different, and you also should have considered not posting it in the first place.
 
Shipping is a delicate subject, and although I do not mind a good discussion on shipping, what you’re saying is basically “I hate this ship” or “ship x is better” which doesn’t contribute anything of value.
 
@all the other people: you may resume HNNNGing over the image now. Oh and also next time just ignore guys like this. We’ll discover their comments sooner or later anyway.

@Jarkes  
Because it is amusing?
 
I’m pretty sure deep down everyone in this thread knows it is pointless and stupid. Just like Spike.

@Cryosite
 
On the other hand, you’re also insulting anyone who likes this ship, with words such as “Spiketards” and basically saying that this picture sucks because it’s SpikeBelle and not ScootaBelle.
 
So no, you don’t get to pull that card.
 
…Goddamnit, why do I keep letting myself get sucked into these?

@Keith Mowz  
The only one acting like children are all the ones shouting for Spike’s defense.
 
I made one request to the artist in support of my preferred ship. I’m still trying to figure out how the opinion of all these Spike fans is somehow correct yet my opinion as a fan of Sweetie Belle isn’t.
 
By all means, do read back over the comments and actually see whom is attacking whom like children.

@Cryosite  
There’s a saying they have on WTFIWWY that goes something like ‘old enough to fucking know better’.
 
Stop acting like a petulant child if you aren’t one and let people enjoy their ships.

@Cryosite  
Oh. Oooooooooh. You’re older? You know, if you’re going to put on a show like this, you’re probably better off having all of us think you’re like, 12 or something. And Hon, this here’s the internet; nobody cares what your gender is.
 
And for the record, I was born before the internet even existed.
 
Here, lose yourself in the warm feeling of some Spikebelle. It’s good for what ails you.  

@Background Pony #D55B  
I knew that, hence why I chose some Ambris art. The original point that started all this is my apparently taboo request to the artist to make a Scootabelle edit.
 
No idea why all the Spiketards are so offended by that.
 
 
@DanielTepesKraus  
Wrong gender, hon. Yes there are girls on the internet; I’ve probably been on it longer than you’ve been alive.

@Cryosite  
Cryosite. This is a safe place. You’re with people who love you. Right everyone?
 
…
 
He’s projecting all of his anger onto Spikebelle. You see what’s happening now? You’re hitting bottom. Come on now. This is where the healing begins. Come on. Come on♥♥♥  
 
Spike got a kiss on the cheek from Sweetie Belle for sharing his ice cream. It was adorable.

@Cryosite  
Joke’s on you. Ambris, the artist of that picture, is a massive SpikeBelle fan.

@DanielTepesKraus  
Not one of those was good. All of them had a glaring flaw in them.
 

 
Much better.

@Cryosite  
Here, friend. Let go of your hate with some Spikebelle.  
 
 
 

@Cryosite  

@Background Pony #04F8  
Requesting the artist draw Scootabelle, a clearly superior image, is a waste of time? What nonsense is this? Last I checked this was a Sweetie Belle picture in sore need of improvement, not a Spike picture.

@Background Pony #04F8  
because that super killjoy, overanalizing attitude is something it actually enjoys.

@Cryosite  
Why, then, are you spending your time posting on images with Spike, posting about how you don’t like him or ships that involve him? Couldn’t your time be better spent elsewhere?

@Background Pony #D55B  
Again, opinions. I dislike Spike. If you’re upset about someone on the internet saying bad things about a fictional character, tough. I’m not trolling people, I’m expressing an opinion. Get over it.

@Cryosite  
How you say it matters, though. Disparaging Spike as “a fax machine” is naturally going to set people off.

Once again proving trolls around here a low tier.@Background Pony #4EB6  
Because having an opinion that differs from yours is clearly trolling.
 
Seriously, Scootabelle > Spike x anything.

@Background Pony #D55B  
Only if he wants to pull the whole “Hey I know you rejected me Rarity, but is it cool if I go out with your little sister because I can’t have you” route.  
Also, she didn’t really reject him in the episode. They just established their relationship as friends. And usually, people who end up as lovers start out as friends.

In today’s episode Spike finally realized that he’s in the friendzone with Rarity. Maybe this ship actually has a chance of happening.

Been shipping it since a Canterlot Wedding.

I like spikebelle because I can totally see him dating her to get to Rarity but then genuinely falling for her in the process.

Of course,one cute little pic of sweetie spike and the killjoys arrive.

@Cryosite  
Once again proving trolls around here a low tier.

Looks like Spike finally scored. XD
