• Comic: I Don't Give a Jack About Shipping

    by
    You know, before FiM I didn't even know the word "shipping" existed outside transporting cargo.

    If I can take anything from this fandom, it's the huge increase in my vocabulary.

      I personally didn't know what "shipping" was (including the meaning of transporting cargo by the means of land, sea or air) until I stumbled across the wrong page in wikipedia while looking for the meaning of "shipping" (the meaning of transporting cargo by the means of land, sea or air... not the fanfic meaning.)

      "The activity of fans creating relationships out of some or most of the cast of characters far predates the term. Though "ship" is undoubtedly a derivative of the word "relationship", where and when it was first used to indicate involvement with fictional romance is unclear. However, the archives of the newsgroup X-files show that the word "shipper" was already in established use among fans of The X-Files as early as May 1996."

      The first time I heard the term "shipping" in THIS context was the Madmax comic where Twilight tells Trixie they both need more "shipping" before tackling her.

      I read it, had a "lol wut" reaction, but eventually asked the /b/ thread what the hell it meant. I felt pretty dumb for not figuring it out, honestly.

      ANYWAYS, this comic rocks too. Poor sad Dashie...I'll buck you back anytime, girl.

      Faust said that her sexuality was never discussed. Key difference there. Besides, with the massive imbalance between the male-to-female ratio, it's more than likely that lesbian couples are a common thing in Equestria.

      Slash, at least how it is usually used, is a little different. Slash is generally reserved for guy/guy relationships (and, more rarely, girl/girl), whereas shipping is more of a catch-all term.

      @ToonNinja Eh, point taken. Sometimes I wish they'd introduce more male characters. Who have we actually got that's male (and canon)? Spike, Braeburn, Soarin', Hoity Toity, those idiots from Sonic Rainboom, Mr. Cake... Not exactly an impressive list. Sigh...

      I'm inclined to think there are more boys than we see. The cartoon centers on the girls, so we see way more girls than boys. Though I do admit that the proportions of male to female is way more skewed than it is here. Maybe 5:8 or 2:3?

      All the same, we are discussing MLP here. As much as people can speculate and do fanstuffs, the odds are extremely slim any alternative lifestyles would be introduced to a cartoon that, despite its bizarre fanbase, still has an intended demographic of little girls. So as far I'm concerned, it all resides in the minds of us to make our own decisions.

      All the same... This fandom can often get shiptacular. It starts grating after a while.

      Yeah, I doubt that'd go over too well with a canon lesbian. Maybe someday, though, when people aren't so uncomfortable about homosexuality. It could happen.
      Also, to be fair, more often than not they make REALLY cute couples. Of course, that might be the overall adorability, but who's really keeping track? I'm not.

      @Anonymous (8:40 post)

      Actually, the male:female ratio in MLP:MiF is consistent with that of wild horses (wild horses have harems consisting of a dominant male and dominant female and several other lesser females.*) So it's not that unrealistic to have more females than males. More by accident, one suspects, than design, but the fact remains.

      (Actually, an examination of horse behavior in wiki revealed a number of interestingly convergant points with the show, including the fact horses are prone to psychotic behavior - as the main cast (and probably Luna) have demonstrated... Go look, it's quite interesting.)



      *And now I'm opening a whole other can of worms... Sorry, everypony! *slaps hand*.

      Though seriously, I'm mildly surprised there haven't been harem fics already, given their comparative prevalence in other fanfic-doms like Harry Potter or Naruto.

      I found out about shipping from a image search for Avatar: The Last Airbender wallpapers about 4 years ago. Because of a header image here one day, I had to explain shipping to my 13 year old sister. Not a fun conversation, I ended up using examples from "Fall Weather Friends" to explain it. Her reaction was very close to the reaction the guys from Supernatural had to Slash ficion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wz2KWCixtE
