And once again, what most of the anti people don't like to address _*(cause thinking is hard, its easier to be a sheep)_*, is the fact that calling him a "baby" is basically just a technicality at this point. He's not a pony, he's a dragon. He obviously doesn't **physically** age like a pony, because we know for a fact he's been alive for more than 10 years _*(if the Mane6 are young adults, then probably around 15)_*, so he's obviously not actually a baby.


 
However, either because its normal for dragons, or because he was raised by ponies, his **mental** development/age matches that of a pony of his same chronological age.


 
I don't get people on this, I really don't. I mean, its entirely possible that 100 years from now he's still going to be looking the same, yet because we know his mental development is "normal" _*(as in person/pony normal)_*, that means he's going to be a 100-year old adult inside. Would they STILL insist it'd be inappropriate for him to want to be with an adult mare because of the way he **looks**? Shouldn't a modern, civilized society be civilized enough to understand that the rules they've created for themselves, obviously should have loopholes for cases like his?


 
I'm not saying its appropiate now because its very likely Spike is still underage, but if you simply bother to take into account what his age relative to the Mane6 actually seems to be, then its clear that if he's underage, he's not going to be much longer. The "never going to happen" thing is a fine stance, but it should be made clear its based solely on appereances.

In truth, he's basically the equivalent of a 17-year old pinning for a 24-year old and counting the days until his birthday.
