Lesbian shipping in MLP and why it is bothering me lately.
10 years ago
So first off, I have nothing against lesbians really, I have lesbian friends, have a liking of lesbian porn, and I don't interfere with lesbians and their relationships. I'm bi, have a sexual attraction to both females and males and have had sexual interactions with both genders many times. (and yes, I'm clean. I'm careful and not stupid.) I am in full support of homosexual marriages and feel that love and marriage should not be restricted or regulated between consenting adults.
Now, what's been chewing on me for a while.
As most know, I'm practically a brony without calling my self a brony. I love MLP. I love a lot of the fan work out there. Past Sins is awesome and Nyx is best OC pony. Twilight is my fave of the mane six and Princess Luna is best pony. I have a small collection of pony figures and plushies, and have a commission for a custom Luna in the works. I don't read fan fic's normally, save for a couple of series that involves Nyx, though I may try getting into fallout: equestria.
What's been bothering me is mlp shipping. Especially lesbian pony shipping. I have a strong feeling that gay stallion shipping would make me feel the same too, but the most seen and know is the lesbian mare shipping. Twilight and Luna, or twilight with trixie (ew), or twi with celstia, AJ and RD, so on and so forth.
Now I get that in the land of equestria, they don't have the bible thumpers that the good 'ol 'Merica and the rest of the world has. I also get that it is all fiction, and there is no reason to think there would be any stigma about homosexuality within equestrian society nor is there any hint at it. But from a nature perspective, despite that a very small percentage of animals are homosexual in some way, the vast majority are heterosexual. SO with this in mind, it does feel out of place and wrong that there is just so much.
I know I'm starting to over analyze a cartoon with techno-color anthro equines, but really, it feels like it is starting to get a little out of hand. I'm thinking it may have to do with that for me, shipping pretty much falls into rule 34 territory, and I'm not a big fan, nor like rule 34 of MLP. Exceptions being where you know who the character is suppose to be, but is far enough removed from the actual character that it feels more like a different character, much like the porn'ed out versions of krystal fox, renimon, and a few others. SO i'm wanting to just chalk it up to my distaste for MLP porn, but really, it feels like there is more to it than just that. Strangely enough though, i do support twilight and flash shipping, but most likely because it is hinted at canon wise and would fall into the more natural progression and such of things. The only other thing is perhaps an over exposure in too short of a time span to so much of this lesbian pony shipping.
In anycase, I just wanted to get this off my chest, and see what others thoughts are on this. Thanks for reading.
