Quote from: hathorcat on July 08, 2014, 01:10:42 PMWas shipping even a thing pre G4? I will admit to never even having heard the phrase or come across the need for it before this current generation.I'm right there with you. Shipping just leaves me scratching my head. Insert romance where there is none and somehow this is a recipe for success. I just don't get it.Minty x Kimono? I can see only one possible outcome to this relationship. And it involves Kimono digging a shallow unmarked grave. Alas, poor Minty, I knew ye well... That said, Minty seemed to have a thing for kissing other ponies. Rainbow Dash, Sparkleworks, and Thistle Whistle come to mind.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I've always thought of the G3 characters as kids so I've never "shipped" them except maybe in "friendships."

No offense, but why would them being kids stop them being shipped? It's your choice, but I just wondering why it would mattter. I take it you mean romantic shipping in this context right? I'm sure it could just be innocent childhood (foalhood?) romances if it was, but still, it's your opinion and I will respect it whatever it is.

I see them as kids, as I have said. I'm not interested in putting them together romantically. If someone else sees them as adults or even sees them as kids but wants to put them in "crush" relationships that's fine but it isn't something I'm interested in.

I . . . have no idea how to reconcile those two pairings.Yes, shipping was definitely a thing pre-G4! Not as prominent, but yes. (Also, Minty x Kimono. MINTY x KIMONOOOOO.)See...I missed this...it really was not something I was ever aware of before. I know shipping in tv shows in general started wayyyy back with the Original Star Trek..

Maybe its just that I have always thought the need or desire to sexualise everything is a little unnecessary. To each their own however.
