I really think there's something... disturbing about shipping ponies.  On a kid's show  ???
What does the target audience have to do with anything? This is fanon, not canon.

Anywho I think fanon like this (even going so far as the rule 34 stuff) is the natural evolution of a fanbase. You don't have to like it, of course, but it'd be weird if it didn't happen.

I'm kinda confused right now. All these ponies popping up everywhere makes me want to watch at least the first episode. But I'm afraid I might lose my masculinity if I started humming the theme song, that is if I was addicted, in front of a friend who thinks this show is for little girls. I'm also afraid of being potentially addicted to this show.

What do I do?
Watch it in secret.

Also: Losing masculinity? Ha! Real men don't often wear pink, but when they do, they're not ashamed of it. If you wanna be "manly", then be confident in your masculinity regardless of your hobbies or interests.

But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The above. Also, skip the opening credits. No chance of learning the theme song!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

You won't lose your masculinity, you'll actually say that you're secure enough in your manhood to like a show like that.

If all else fails, why give a damn what other people think of you? :P

Real men aren't afraid of social norms. Only cowards bend under the pressure of their peers.

Also:

No. Porn is inevitable. That's why it's called rule 34: "There is porn of it, no exceptions.". Shipping, however, is not. Shipping is perverted no matter the target audience.

"No"? You didn't really disagree with what I said :P

It's a "rule" (well more of a self fulfilling prophecy but that's splitting hairs) because it's the natural evolution of stuff becoming known.

But I did. You said that shipping, perhaps even porn, is the natural evolution of the fanbase (not fanon, that's something else). I said that while porn is the inevitable one, shipping is not. You need to look at my full post, not just cut it apart by sentences.

Oh ok, so you disagreed with the shipping part?

Well this all seems pretty pedantic, but whatever. I'm no expert in this sort of stuff, but I dare say it's not much harder to find shipping of stuff than it is to find porn of it.


Maybe I shouldn't of used "rule 34" as a euphemism for porn in my earlier post, as this is a weird tangent to go on. Damn euphemisms.

Why...why did someone do that? I was fine before. But you have (assuming that was done by you) just given a lot more rule 34 fodder, right in this thread.

How would a size comparison have anything to do with porn?

Look at where the head is in comparison to the human body.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.
