--- ShadowBeast, "Also Lauren Faust has stated that Scootaloo does have parents, but are super busy and Scootaloo knows how to dodge her babysitter. You can Scootaloo's page about this."

Even though Lauren Faust created the show, she left later. And now other people can affect the way the show's canon can go, and while respecting some of her ideas, they already used their own ideas as well, some of which she'd probably never put into the show. The new writers and story editors can create their own canon, if they find a way to make it work and Hasbro approves it (or even requests something).

So, her ideas about Scootaloo's family, are only her personal views now, since she can't affect the show anymore. And I won't be surprised if the current show's staff will go with something very different for Scootaloo in the end.

--- ShadowBeast, "So with a show about friendship, a one gender couple would indeed be inappropriate since it would go against the show's intentions."

You do have a good point there.

"so it's a shame people can't enjoy a show without forcing romance into it."

Not every shipper is like that. You probalby saw some serious fights between those who tries to take their ships way too seriously and actually genuinely argue about which ship is the best, etc... Reminds me about similar aruing about which pony is the best (when it's just a subjective opinion in reality).

For me personally (just like for majoirty of people who ship some ponies), the show is still important the way it is. I do enjoy it for what it is, the way it was intended. A shipping for me is just a fun of playing around with ideas and alternative unvierses by using imagination (that's why I like reading romantic fanfiction).

If I look at the show seriously, I do separate the canon from my or other people's fanon.
