Problem with having a one-gender couple is that it would put the shippers into overdrive and they would consider every friendship as a ship instead of actually being just friends. You can't even have a girl and boy be just friends. So with a show about friendship, a one gender couple would indeed be inappropriate since it would go against the show's intentions. Shippers are one biggest problems with fandoms anyway, so it's a shame people can't enjoy a show without forcing romance into it. And don't bother telling me fun shipping is, because I've seen enough fights between fandoms on who goes with who.
