I get that this chain is over a month old, but I still have a problem with Imperfect's sentence "If someone ships two same-sex characters or even entertains the notion of shipping two same-sex characters, it's taken as an affront."

Whenever someone doesn't like a same-sex pairing, people never argue why it's a good pairing, they just resort to saying "You only hate it because it's same-sex, don't you?" Why? Why turn the person into a strawman? In fact, the original argument was that just because they're friends does not mean they are a couple. Why does it need to be turned into a matter of what sex the characters are when that wasn't even the problem the person had with the pairing in the first place?

IMO, I can't see homophobia as a thing in Equestria. The place is just too... tolerance-filled, I guess.
