Arguments Against A Ship That People Need To Stop Using

Now there are a lot of shipping going in the fandom and a lot of people have arguments against some of these ships. If you don't like a ship and feel the need to point out why you don't think it would work that find but there are three arguments people need to stop using and here why.

1. They can't be in love they are different species: Now first of all if they show was trying be realistic this argument this would be a valid argument, but this is a fantasy setting and different species falling love is a very common thing in fantasy settings. Second of all the different sapient species are closest thing in fantasy settings(for better or worse) to different races and ethnicities, and do I really need to say anything about why this is a terrible argument in this context.

2. They can't be together because they can't have children: First of all the point of being a couple has nothing to with having kids. Second of all if they do want kids but can't have them naturally they can always just adopt or get a sperm donor. Third I have only see this argument use on mix specie ships never on gay or lesbian ships, and while you shouldn't use this argument against either type of ship the fact that I see people use it against mix specie ships only to then say they ship a gay/lesbian couple makes even less valid. Third this a world of magic, is it really hard to believe that they would have some type of spell to allow different species to interbreed. Besides how many fantasy settings have hear of where different sapient species can't naturally interbreed, because I can't think of one. Fourth of all I only see this argument use against ships involving Spike or Discord never against any other non-pony on pony ship. This makes it even dumber because Discord can do almost anything with his magic yet him having a kid with a pony is where draw the line, and Spike is a sapient dragon and how many fantasy settings have you heard of where sapient dragons can't interbreed with just about anything, because I can't think of one and remember one in which a dragon was made of fire and rocks and still had a half-human kid.

3. They can't be together because one of them is long lived/immortal: How many different settings have you see in which a long lived/immortal has falling in love with shorter lived/mortal? Because I seen enough that as long as both beings are adults I'm find with it. Also strangely I have only seen this use on Spike and Discord and never on Celestia or Luna, in fact I seen people use this as a reason why they don't like a ship involving Spike or Discord only to ship Celestia or Luna with a mortal.
