1st point, I agree entirely. While I do love when an artist takes a shift in regular art to do some shipping, when it takes over I'm well aware it just annoys people who don't like the ship or shipping in general.

2nd point, I agree somewhat. Personally I've never liked crack shipping. I'll make a joke about a random two ponies here or there, but ultimately I ship characters, and if we don't know anything about their characters then I won't ship them. But when it does get to those ships where the characters go together really well, like Rarijack or FlutterDash, I will ship them fanatically.

3rd point, I agree entirely. This is one thing I really like about Rarijack Daily, and Twijack Weekly is doing something similar (as is Rarijack Occasionally, but people don't really know about that due it being pretty small). Those blogs are just drawings of them doing random shit. WhiteDiamondsLtd even said that the blog was trying to appeal even to people who don't like shipping, and I've heard a lot of people who say they don't like shipping or at least Rarijack but do like the blog. When ships go down that shallow path they just get bad, which is one of the big problems I have with TwiDash. Since they have no dynamic and nothing to actually ship about, all shipping of them is just making out or hugging or cuddling or something, like seriously, pretty much every TwiDash emote is them doing that. I'm fucking serious, I just checked, and now my eyes hurt.

I also dislike shippers quite a bit, the main reason being the absolute lack of standards in shipping, because literally every possible ship ever exists. I don't really consider myself a big shipper, because frankly I only ship Rarijack and FlutterDash, and dislike most other ships. But most people will say otherwise due to the degree that I ship Rarijack, and jokes that I make around the subreddit.

Please have a seat over here. You have the classic symptoms of a Shipper. You have OTP Syndrome, one of the biggest warning signs.

Can it really be considered that when the show uses them both frequently? Main reason I like them is the excess of content.

[–]ProfessorPenucci 14ポイント15ポイント  (6子コメント)

It's canon!

Not helping your case.

[–]computeraddictRarity 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I mean, the idea of fan fiction is adding an embellishment on or doing a reimagining of an established work, so there's no reason to limit yourself to just what appears in the show and no more. And given the nature of the show, any ship between the main cast beyond a friendship is going to lie firmly in the realm of fan fiction. Heck, if you're just going to take the show material to work with, AppleDash is pretty darn strong, and Sparity is all-but-canon.

[–]NOTShutup868Applejack -5ポイント-4ポイント  (0子コメント)

AppleDash has had no content since season 1, so no, it's not very strong. And Sparity is the most one-sided ship ever, and the show knows it.

Don't worry, I won't.

Every twidash emote?

There were a few others, but a peck on the cheek, looking at each other, roughhousing? These are "too much"?

So RariJack and FlutterDash are on the approved list I take it. Do you know where I can find the complete list so that I know what other ships are allowed and which ones aren't? I'm curious who creates this list and what approval process ships have to go through to get on there.

[–]NOTShutup868Applejack -3ポイント-2ポイント  (5子コメント)

If it fits it ships. The show is pretty straightforward on what dynamics work and what don't. To name a few that work: FlutterDash, Rarijack, PinkieDash, Rarishy, AppleDash.

[–]FaceDeer 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

The point I'm (admittedly sarcastically) making here is that you've got certain pairings that you consider to be fine, but you're upset that other pairings not on your list also exist. That's hypocritical and silly. There is no objective standard for "allowed" shipping. Other people might produce an entirely different list of shippings that "work" for them.

Not wanting to read ships that are not to your taste is fine. Being upset if those ships get thrust on you somehow, such as through an improperly tagged story, is fine. But being upset that they exist at all is not fine because other people have different tastes. Just avoid those pairings that aren't to your taste, and let other people avoid your RariJack and FlutterDash and what have you if that's not to their tastes.

[–]NOTShutup868Applejack -3ポイント-2ポイント  (3子コメント)

The whole "let other people like what they like" doesn't make my point any less valid.

[–]LankygitModerator of /r/mylittlepony 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Please stop. This whole conversation is just becoming sad.

At the risk of sounding a little mean, at least he lives up to his username.

[–]NOTShutup868Applejack -4ポイント-3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I disagree, this entire comment section has been hilarious.

Says the guy who once spammed the entire subreddit with shipping posts to the extent that the mods had to tell him to stop.

[–]NOTShutup868Applejack -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Actually the mods never intervened, since I wasn't breaking any rules. And again, that's just one ship.

[–]Dr_Zorand 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

Since they have no dynamic and nothing to actually ship about, all shipping of them is just making out or hugging or cuddling or something, like seriously, pretty much every TwiDash emote is them doing that.

Not counting the ones that are scenes from the show, that's all all the RariJack and FlutterDash emotes are too.
