Not much, just raising a point.

I honestly don't get the logic behind thinking that shipping Spike with Rarity is "Creepy"

Ponies and dragons (especially Dragons as shown by this episode) have COMPLETELY different physiologies to humans. Spike physically got OLDER in this ep. Are you saying that you wouldn't have minded shipping Spike with Rarity as long as he stayed an adult at the end of this episode?

If it's mental age: HE'S MORE MATURE THAN THE MANE CAST HALF OF THE TIME!!

I don't get it

edit: like fran said. Their aging is non-linear to an extent

Spike is a dragon. Rarity is a unicorn. Seeing as how big dragons get, you can not square the circle.

Anyway is the episode online?

Well, I can't see it. Bye guys. It's been real, but I just can't handle this anymore.

I found it on Youtube.

Guys, calm down. It's a freaking cartoon.

First of all, Spike is repeated identified as a baby dragon in the show; regardless of how mature he acts, he's most definitely not an adult. He's just an emotionally mature adolescent.

Second, everybody is going to have their own interpretations of the characters, and in a lot of them it's going to disagree both with canon and with your own interpretation of the characters. I wouldn't call bullshit on the whole fandom because some of them disagree with me on some points. I mean, I detest the fact that Cupcakes has basically colored the entire fandom's perception of Pinkie Pie, and I'd prefer that Sweetie Poo never came into existence, but I'm not going to let that overpower all the aspects of the fandom that I do enjoy.

lol wut

Another solid episode. Yay.

What have we done?! Most of us haven't been nasty to you.

You're the one who's overeacting

@Boobustuber, thefran: Okay, we get it, you disagree with each other, but there's no need to make it personal by directly attacking each other's interpretations of the characters. Agree to disagree and leave it at that. There are people in the fandom who are going to be disgusted by stuff you like, and people who aren't disgusted by the things that disgust you, and it's better to recognize that and learn to live with it than by complaining about it every time the subject comes up.

I like this fandom and I don't want to see people splintering off of it because they don't agree on something like this.

Wait, Spike gets bigger in this episode? Permanently I mean?

Only temporarily.

Seriously, Boobus. I disagree with a lot of stuff, like your opinion on most of the songs, Ginger's opinions on Pinkie, Death Cloud 90% of the time. But I don't throw a hissy fit or resort to personal attacks.

With all the issues with aging and such, I just don't see how we can possibly judge their relationship by OUR standards

This. The other thing is that you're acting like everybody on this forum is shipping Spike/Rarity, which isn't at all the case. There happen to be 2 or 3 posters who like the idea, and just because you find it creepy doesn't mean that they aren't allowed to talk about it.

Way to make me feel like a bad guy JT (Rare/Spike shipper)

not being serious

Found the episode.

My personal rule about shipping: If they can have or seem to be able to have kids, they are shippable.*

Seeing how big Spike got in the episode, yeah, having kids would be hard to do.

>implying homosexual shipping isn't real shipping

I don't ship Spike/Rarity usually. Sometimes I do, I can understand why it would be shipped. and it doesn't Squick me out since yeah Dragons how do they work?

edited 10th Dec '11 9:33:29 AM by Badwolfwho

Yeah, that's kind of a weird rule to have.

To each's own though, I guess

edited 10th Dec '11 9:33:58 AM by gingerninja666

@Ginger: Sorry, didn't mean to imply that. I just meant that Boobus seems to be making Spike/Rarity out to be widely accepted in this thread when most posters seem to be ambivalent on it. I personally don't find it all that weird, but I don't really ship it, either.

meh, its rare to find homo shipping in actual manga/anime/animation. For example, if those who read Negima, I dont expect Konox Setsu to actually happen, its just hot to talk about.

And not a single fuck was given.

Dude, just because you disagree with her on one point doesn't mean you have to be dick about it. I don't necessarily agree with all of Boobus' points, but she made some useful contributions to the thread, and it'll suck if she really isn't coming back.

But anyway, moving on before we start another fight:

Best part of the episode: Spike's pimp hat.

Lol internet drama.

For some reason, I've witnessed a lot of it in the past few days.

I agree. I wish Spike had kept that thing.

I liked the good cop bad cop routine with Rainbow and Fluttershy.
