>You guys really do not understand why people don't like straight shipping, after ALL this time? Even Sprinkles himself seems clueless, which I refuse to believe isn't just an act. Nevertheless, I'll explain.
>The first reason is the My Little Pony fandom is full of fans that get overly attached to the characters. It is no surprise because they are very lovable. Good work on Hasbro's part. As such, seeing them in romantic relationships with males makes many fans grumpy. The reasoning varies from person to person which I will not delve into, but overall, it is frowned on, intensely. Lesbian shipping is immune to this, as nobody cares about girls loving girls, no matter what the pairing is. Some might, but they are the buried underneath the barrel minority.
>Snails is the most grotesque pony on the show, next to Snips. It's part of his design; it is what he is. The last thing fans (most fans) want to see is their favorite female pony having sex with him, for any reason.
>No doubt you've heard people yell "TROLL ART!" "TROLLING!" when it comes to Snails. Well, they weren't kidding. Snails shipping art from the very start was used to upset people and it still is. Some artists remain naive to this. Some know it well and draw it on purpose. And a few don't care either way and draw it indifferently.
>The second reason is the males on the show are very underdeveloped, save for Spike. Shipping them with any of the ponies tends to be difficult because people do not have much to work with. It is simply easier to have the characters who interacted with each other pair off instead, which happens to be mostly all the females.
>Seeing Fluttershy blow herself VS Fluttershy having Big Mac do her up her ass is going to go in the favor of futa Fluttershy, not surprisingly. Why? It's not any worse than seeing Fluttershy rip open her stomach in a Dead Space parody illustration. It's just shocking. It doesn't interfere with shipping, it doesn't make people feel insecure, it doesn't effect mai poni waifu people, etc.
>TL&DR: Straight shipping is taboo and straight shipping Snails is terrible. Do either at your own peril.
People don't like seeing their waifu getting fucked by Snails, near as I can surmise.
