In your dreams maybe ;) You could say that about every ship!  
I’m in the fandom since the beginning and every year it’s the same.  
A ship gets hyped until people get sick of it (mainly because of content-spam). Then it fades in the background and another ship gets hyped for reasons whatsoever…  
Its like: next seson, next ship  
Actually, Rarijack was overrated from the begin with imho, I think its fading away already.

Ridiculous, but plausible.
 
I’m also guessing AJ had to tell Dash “You are not getting married in a Wonderbolt uniform” at least ten times before she got through.

Also, no, romantic love is way more fun. Platonic love is good too, but if you’re going to have a weird preference between the two, romantic love is a lot better. Besides, Dashie and AJ’s relationship started out platonic, but is growing.
 
Not really. Back in the first season Dash and AJ got a lot of airtime together but the more time’s gone on the less we see… the last significant interaction was Castlemania and before that not much over three seasons. When they are together it tends to emphasize their competitiveness with each other and rivalry and not much else so maybe that’s why they don’t get written together as much anymore, there’s only so much you can do with that. Also AJ’s mellowed and isn’t as hotheaded as she was in season 1.
 
If any mane 6 pair was going to get canonized I’m pretty sure it’d be RariJack, because they get a LOT of scenes together and unlike AJ and Dash they still fight but they also get along much, much better now. They’re both ranked as the least popular characters for merchandise and polls (so less risk for them than more “prominent” main characters maybe), the writers like pairing them together and the ship’s extremely popular. It’s still not likely, but if LoK can get away with it on Nickelodeon maybe.

No idea why platonic love is being brought into this thread. AJ and RD aren’t even that close. They’re friendly rivals and that’s as far as their relationship goes. If any pair is platonic, its AJ and Rarity.

I’m not getting into a debate about which love is better. :I But when I say “benefits” I mean benefits

That platonic relationships do not tend to bring. :P
 
I’m also confused, you’re the one that posed that one is better than the other and are now asking me to prove what I like better? You hold the much more unpopular opinion, given how many people in the world are in or seek to be romantic relationships and like it better than friendships. If you honestly want to have a debate about this, you have to present your reasoning or I won’t even bother.
 
I probably won’t respond if you do, though. I’m just going to keep getting what I get out of my romantic relationship and not feeling the need to justify or “prove” it. :P
 
Also, Dashie and AJ love friendship and romance is the ultimate form of the absolute best friendship ever so, they’d like it. :3

Prove that. Prove that romantic love is stronger than platonic love. What’s to say that platonic love isn’t stronger & doesn’t have more benefits than romantic love when platonic love can be given to more people than romantic love & can get you favors & fun from a wider variety of people?
 
& you can’t say that because most people are into it that the characters actually involved would be into it. Popular opinion doesn’t mean the characters involved would be into it. Most of the fans of Ranma 1/2 pushed for Ryoga & Ukyo to get together, but those characters ended up hating each other. (Spoilered in case you don’t want to bring an outside series into this.)

Um, no. See, romantic love is usually stronger and tends to have more benefits…

If you’re not into that, you still can’t use that as an argument for why they shouldn’t get romantic, because most people are into it so, Dasie and Jackle probably are too. :P
 
Also, RD and AJ enjoy competition so, trying to see who’s better is a ton of fun for them. It’s not going to make their relationship worse.

You do realize that a platonic relationship can grow to maximum levels without becoming romantic, right? & that a character can have an orientation without being in a relationship?
 
Also no, platonic love is way more fun. Romantic love is good too, but if you’re going to have a weird preference between the two, platonic love is a lot better.
 
& that logic about them being perfect for each other because they love competing with each other doesn’t really make sense. If anything the fact that they’re constantly trying to prove themselves better than the other would cause too many problematic issues for a romantic relationship to work out cleanly. Not that they couldn’t be competitive & in such a relationship, it just shouldn’t be the reason for it.

@SeraphimDawn  
I’m just expressing my opinion on what they should do, not forcing anything.
 
@OneOverTwo  
There’d be no implications about what you’re saying, in my opinion.
 
Anyway, Dashie and Applejack are perfect for each other, because they love competing with each other and stuff and are the two most badass ponies in the show. The only other shipping with AJ that I think would work is her and Rarity.

Excuse me for using hyperbole.  
Can you explain why it has to be these two in particular? Why they have to be romantically involved?  
The implications would be accidental cues that kids would pick up on.  
Implications always exist. That’s why I called it extremely dumb to say there’d be no implications. It’s a matter of how harmful they are or how important the seem to be that effects how much it’s noticed.
 
& you’re right, platonic love isn’t even close to romantic love. It’s by far much sweeter to see platonic love last a long time.

@Background Pony #C4D0
This isn’t necessarily on a conscious level, man. It’s pattern recognition too.
 
So, it’s better to not have any gay characters and leave the existence of being gay completely out of the show, just so that tomboys don’t feel left out. There are plenty of kids’ shows with tomboys that are straight already, there are none with gay people at all. Showing acceptance towards gays is for more relevant right now, since tomboys factually aren’t as unaccepted as gays are. MLP should have these two lovers love each other.
 
@OneOverTwo  
@Background Pony #C4D0
It also wouldn’t only be a problem for kids.
 
Adults already know it’s okay to be a straight tomboy and if they don’t, a cartoon won’t change them at that point. It’s only a problem for kids.
 
 
@OneOverTwo  
@Background Pony #C4D0
& making them bi wouldn’t do anything significant if they’re already in a relationship with each other.
 
They have to realize their love and will try dating others before they get together! ;)
 
 
@OneOverTwo  
@Background Pony #C4D0
& saying that there’s absolutely no implications at all is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. There’s always implications whether or not they’re intentional.
 
Goddamn, you must live a life pretty sheltered from the real stupidity out there if that is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever read. I mean, holy fuck I’ve seen people deny the existence of the moon and say that Obama is a reptilian, but for you an opinion on the implications of a cartoon is the stupidest thing? You italicized it like you’re serious and holy shit, I envy you if you are. There’s an entire unseen world of the stupidest people imaginable out there for you if what I said is honestly the stupidest thing to you. Holy shit.
 
But anyway, you’re still wrong. There are absolutely no implications that all tomboys or lesbians act any one way by having two characters act that way, because the two are individuals. No kid would pick up on the non-existent implication of that.
 
@OneOverTwo  
@Background Pony #C4D0
Yes you can! It’s called platonic love!
 
Obviously not even close to same thing. They already platonically love each other, like they do with all their friends, they need to come out as romantically loving each other.

Bad idea. It’s not so much about them being lesbians as it is being in love with each other, which they are. You can’t have them express their love for each other if one of them is straight.

Earlier I had proposed the make Applejack gay & Rainbow Dash straight solution. Which would allow for both gay & straight tomboys & not force the rainbow themed one to be gay.

You’re not looking into it enough. Since the two prominent tomboys would both be lesbians in this case there’s not enough of a message going on that it’s alright to be a straight tomboy. Kids would see two characters that love each other that are the same gender, but many would assume based on it that any girl who acts like a tomboy is into the same gender which is untrue. Butch lesbians exist, but the set up you propose would make it seem like butch straight women don’t. What you propose leads to unfortunate implications. You’re only thinking of the effects within the show & not nearly enough about what the effects outside of it could be.
Background Pony #8F1B
@PonyPon  
Not really, dude. Butch lesbians exist and I don’t think it’s a negative thing to portray one single lesbian as. It’s like saying that one individual Asian can’t be good Math, because that’s a stereotype. Everyone is different and we’re dealing with an individual. If they made her gay, it would be Rainbow Dash who’s a lesbian and a tomboy, not all lesbians that are tomboys or all tomboys that are lesbians. If it’s one individual acting in a way that isn’t offensively targeted at an entire group of people, there’s no stereotype.
 
@OneOverTwo  
No, that’s just looking too much into it. Kids would only see it as these two characters that happen to love each other. Also, they could make Twilight and Rarity lesbians too to make it even. :3
