That’s not the point. It’s not canon unless it’s stated to be, either in-universe or by someone associated with the show. If you can get that, it’s canon. Otherwise, it’s ship teasing and fanon interpretation.
 
The “you’d have to be blind” argument has been used many, many times. The reality is that ponies are very touchy-feely with each other in ways we aren’t. Even Equestria Girls are more touchy-feely than normal people. And it produces every bit of shipping fuel we have for MLP. It’s no different with Lyra and Bon Bon.

All while expressly referring to each other as friends, doing things close friends sometimes do. They also, in a short related to Friendship Games, compete with one another for a place in the games. It ends with them hugging and a cute heart iris out, but they compete hardcore until they learn they both made the cut.
 
It is possible for friends to sit on benches. It is possible to share hot cocoa with a friend on Valentine’s Day. And their being on cards has been expressly cited as pointing out that you can give cards to friends. The call each other best friends in Slice of Life and, despite the romantic overtones, don’t ever do anything expressly romantic.
 
It is left deliberately ambiguous.

There’s such a thing as shipping goggles, and these folks wear them permanently.
 
I’m all for shipping, but there’s only a small number of established married couples. The Cakes, the Shys, Cranky and Matilda, Shining Armor and Cadance, Windy Whistles and Bow Hothoof, Twilight Velvet and Night Light, Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz, Bright Mac and Pear Butter, and Cookie Crumbles and Hondo Flanks. Most of them are the Parents 6. And there’s 2 romantic couples; SugarMac and Maudbriar. These are canon ships. And from what we know, aside from the statement being made, couples and close friends don’t act super different in public with Maud being the sole exception.
 
In fact, it’s the fact that ponies tend to be so endearing to one another that launches most ships in the first place. “Oh Rainbow Dash, you don’t have to hide your feelings from me!” was instant TwiDash fuel, for example.
 
Using the behaviour that launches ships in the first place as justification for the ship being canon would make the whole of Equestria one big land of bisexual ponies with multiple lovers. This is where rabid shippers have faulty logic.

You could really just tell that to Fluttercord shippers. For real, the reason why he is this nice to her is because she is his first and best friend and changed him to be a better person, no wonder why he is going to show stronger emotions towards her than the others, but it doesn’t always means it’s in the romantic way. Read in the context, not every strong male and female relationship is romantic, sometimes it’s just being friends way (but I guess you need an Einstein equation to convince them)
 
But nope, it is a popular ship because “she touched his paw”. give me a break.

And what is blatantly romantic about hugging and sharing gifts on Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s Day is about love of all kinds, not just the romantic kind.
 
It is ambiguous and it’s that way on purpose. Your ship is not canon just because you choose to see what they’ve done as blatantly romantic. Let me know when you get a confirmation from someone at DHX and then I’ll believe it’s canon. Until then, stop forcing your ship.

For the same reason she doesn’t have fingernails and pony hooves are flat; details that minute are bothersome to illustrate. The only time the EG models have fingernails are if they’re relevant, to which end I’m pretty sure only Rarity has ever had visible nails.

Granted, I ship them. But Lyra has been shipped with SEVERAL characters over the years, including Anon. Bon Bon is just the popular one and the one the show enjoys teasing.
 
But ship teasing doesn’t make a ship canon.
