The Ups and Downs of the MLP Fan Base Final Part: The Annoying

Okay everypony. This is just my opinion. PLEASE don't hate me. I'm only trying to get my view of everything out and mean no disrespect to anypony for what they like and believe. This is just what I believe and would never EVER tell someone not to do something. Okay, with that out of the way, onto what I find annoying about the pony fandom. There really are only two things that get on my nerves. 1. Shipping and 2. Religious Connotations. Since I'm like that, I'll start with shipping.


Okay everypony. No one feel picked on by this pic. This is just the ship I have to see the most, so it's the one I'm going with. (Pic provided by Rusneko. Their deviant art is here. http://rusneko.deviantart.com/)
I, in general, I'm not much of a shipper. I hate the stupid mixed names. I hate the out of character situations they get put in. It's not just MLP. I don't like shipping in general, but it really bothers me that people are taking a children's show about six girls who are suppose to be friends and turning it into something WAY more than that. NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO LEAD TO SEX! Someponies are making it sound like that when we don't see them, everypony is having sex with every other pony all the time! Aren't people allowed to be friends anymore without turning it into something else? COME ON!

When I see AJ and Dashie I see two friends who both have a competitive spirit who like to one up each other. I don't see two fillies making out with each other behind the barn! With Flutters and Dash, it's two life long friends. Rarity and AJ just have differing opinions and argue. AND FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA! TWILIGHT SPARKLE IS NOT GOING AT IT WITH HER TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry... got carried away... My point is, not everything has to be more than what we see it as. People can just be friends who love each other without sexual love being involved. There is a difference, you know.

My second complaint is this whole idea that Luna and Celestia are gods and the linking of this show with the bible. This has been a pet peeve of mine in a lot of literature and apparently no media is safe from that. Whenever there is any sort of really good, really powerful character, they're linked with God. Or if there is a big struggled between good and evil, it's obviously a link between the fight between God and the Devil. *sighs* Like I said about the shipping, not everything is religious. Personally, I see Celestia is being much more like Dumbledore (who was not a god either!!!) than anything else. She has a student who she purposely puts into dangerous situations to teach her lessons so she can fulfill her ultimate destiny. Of course there is that take of faith and belief in the season one episode Feeling Pinkie Keen (which I will review in more detail later). However, I don't think that's the kind of faith Pinkie is speaking of. I believe Peter Pan said it best. "All you need is faith and trust." Believe me, when it comes to flying, I'm certain Peter was not taking about faith in any sort of god.

So there you have it, everypony. My four part series about my take on the pony community is done. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to take a crack at my first episode review. See you all next time.

Also, please leave comments and stuff. I like comments and I like to know people are actually reading my stuff... I'm extremely insecure....
