Some of my friends were trying to get me to say what the significance was, but I didn't tell.After many "Tell me"'s I wanted to break out in a Fluttershy sewing rant, but I don't have that memorized (yet).I could have also done the whole Discord "Alright, I'll tell you, but I'll only tell you my way", but didn't.

Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Shipper?It's a term for a person who writes fanfiction where two or more of the characters from the show are romantically interested in eachother. The idea sounds pretty harmless, but it can actually get pretty shady in practice. I've met some genuinely nice shippers, it's just the people who take it to extremes that can be a problem. Especially when people outside the fandom assume that shippers represent all bronies.

ZTG Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well on one hand, that idea shippers is harmless as long as it doesn't go THAT far like Spike's crush with Rarity, or like writing a fan fic where Twilight like another Unicorn that's made up, as long as it doens't go explicit it's fine.

Master Inika Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'd think Rarity and Spike would be the most well-accepted, since it's actually canon (on Spike's end, anyways). As far as other ships, I typically like them, even though I don't read fanfiction too much. I think Big McIntosh is used as a generic male too much, except with Fluttershy. I like Rainbow Dash and Applejack, but not Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

dotcom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have no problem with homosexual pairings in MLP, not only because I think homophobia is stupid and pointless, but because all male characters in the show are annoying, boring or plain dumb. The only exceptions are Discord, who is Discord, and Spike, who is a baby.Anyways I don't *really* ship ponies in any serious fashion or read fanfiction, but FlutterDash is the best possible thing.
