When your ship is underattack, the peace was never a option

Stop what? It’s only just the beginning

I’m less concerned about the shipping and more about the likely unintentional relationship red flags that just kinda get glossed over by everyone in the episode

thats how ive always looked at it, though tbh i dont have many ships for mlp.

@laofuzi  
cause small minded people don’t like polygamy

I mean, why not just group these three into one huge hybrid ship??

Tbh I gave up on Sparity a long time ago and I wan gonna Ship Spike with Garble so I could Ship Gabby with Terramar, and Smolder with Ocellus, But now it really sounds like Gabby and Spike might be more plausible than Gabby and Terramar

Just because we like killing mofos in video games doesn’t mean we like it in real life. Such is certainly the case me. The same could and should be applied with the cartoons. Angry moms trying to blame their child’s bad behavior on video games and mass media have tried that tact for years, but I don’t think they’ve met with much success.

Ah, but it says a lot about the individual’s personal. They like grooming in the tooniverse, so they probably would like grooming irl.

Shipping a child with an adult in a cartoon universe should not be creepy, because it’s fictional. It’s fantasy. Celestia herself said it; There’s no wrong way to fantasize. Sure, an adult with a child in real life would be plenty creepy. But, we’re not talking about real life, but rather a fictional cartoon universe about magical talking ponies. A place where, not only do the rules and regulations and logic of Earth need not apply, it makes very little sense to even try such in the first place.
 
 
There’s nothing wrong with grown men enjoying a show aimed at little girls, there’s nothing wrong with shipping fictional adults with fictional youth and there’s no wrong way to fantasize. Everyone should just have fun and not worry about it.

Unless they are obviously young, I.E. The CMC, or obviously older, I.E. Gruff, then it is assumed they are of age. Gabby is probably younger than Gilda, but older than, say, RD or DH.

Well she do a job as a mail carrier but you have to be at least sixteen to get a job. You could be right, she might be an adult. We don’t really know what the characters ages are.

@Background Pony #F7D2  
she might be the same age as gallus

@TheAmazingPeanuts  
I’d like to think that she is a full-grown gryphon. Her age isn’t really confirmed.

@NLTLF
 
Well Gabby appears to be the same age as the young six.

@Background Pony #8460
 
and gabby’s not an adult?

@Background Pony #8460  
i mean we don’t know if spike is actually a baby dragon they just called him that for all we know ’s 18

@TheAmazingPeanuts  
Shipping a child with an adult, yeah that’s not creepy at all.

@Background Pony #8460
 
What is creepy about Sparity? There is nothing creepy about it.

I ship Spabby, they already have a much healthier relationship, plus Pinkie Pie was not shipping Sparity, just happy to see how to use the Gem basket. Spike and Gabby have far more in common, and it’s not creepy.

Rarity have plenty of stallions/colts/drakes to give, she swims in stallions/colts/drakes after all.

It’s not personal tastes what irks me (they are fictional characters, after all), but people who can’t see the different shades of relationships even when explained.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
i’m letting these people do whatever they want. i have the right to criticize it though.

@Background Pony #BB8D  
Let them ship whatever the fuck they want in peace and get over yourself.
 
You can despise shipping and/or romance, but respect other people’s ships.
 
And this comes from someone who asked people if they hate a certain character because of the ship they ship.
 
I mean, what’s the point of romance without shipping in anything?
