Now when has that ever been used as an excuse??
Unless you perceive an influx of lesbo Dash or Fluttermac art as a message from the fanbase. The frequency of art determines the popularity based entirely on perception. |

Really sick of Rainbow Dash being portrayed as a lesbian, because if she were, she'd be a bunch of stereotypes packed into one Pegasus. I prefer to think of Applejack as the girl-liker in the Mane 6, because of the potential drama that comes with being gay in a Southern household. |

what canon? |

@Joy
I don't think AJ turning out to be gay would be that big a deal, given that the Apple family is so prolific in Equestria and that Ponyville's branch seems pretty easy going about other's lifestyles. |

Heh, I've been a shipper for almost as long as I've been a brony, and I dont know about anyone else, but I'm more than happy to keep my fanon and canon very separate.
Its kind of necessary considering how many shipping pairs I like. |
| SomeponyTheVectorer #1467204 2 weeks ago |
Certainly doesnt stop me from firing up the old shipping goggles from time to time though. =P |
| Vree #1467208 2 weeks ago |
So you are upset because some ships are slightly more popular than other ships?
I think it's really silly to tell artist what they should like. |
| Anonymous #1467301 2 weeks ago |
When we say "canon", we mean "canon basis". There's something to go by. Fluttershy and Big Mac has never even been in the same screen together.
As for Dash lesbian ships. SoarinDash is kinda popular (and something I support). People just need to be more creative than "suspended together in midair". |

@Bolan:
I'm pertty sure you know but ignore the situation but I'll tell you anyway: There ARE people who really believe this is canon. |
| sargesprinkles #1467752 2 weeks ago |
there have been so many ships, romantic pics, and 34 by now of every character that the Dash is lesbian thing isn't nearly as a prevalent as it was, especially like it was when the fandom started. |

>no no no I don't hate all the fans only the rabid ones
The only people who believe in the "rabid ones", let alone consider their status as fans to be important, are those who do hate all the fans and are looking for a rationalization. |

@Anonymous 301 You forget about that scene from "The Last Round Up" where they are standing next to-SHIPFAGGOTRY ALERT!!!!
I agree with you about the SoarinDash art though. Mid-air hugging is so overused. |
| Anonymous #1469454 2 weeks ago |
Remember Hearts and Hooves and the shitstorm the Fluttermacers created and coming up with all kinds of rationalizations and other stuff to justify that Fluttermac is the way to go?
Also, Soarindash may be opening up some minds, but if Soarindash or any other straight RD shipping goes canon, manure will hit the fan with the lesbian Dash shippers. |

I have never felt shipping has 'invaded' into the fandom at all personally.
All these fears are grossly exaggerated. |
| Ferrotter #1469573 2 weeks ago |
@9454: Nah, Rainbow Dash is clearly Wonderboltsexual. Shipping her with both Soarin and Spitfire, separately or at the same time, is quite acceptable. |
| Anonymous #1482314 1 week ago |
This was only really a problem with Hearts & Hooves when the Fluttermac shippers showed everyone that they took their ship WAY too seriously. |
