It doesn’t even make sense. There were never any persecutions against age difference relationships in the past, hell, in the past 40 old lords were getting married with 16 year olds who were considered mature once they had their periods.
 
But even then, this argument doesn’t apply to this example because in real life we don’t have immortal people.  
And if we had, could you really imagine immortal Johnny Depp who never age to never get in relationship with a mortal 20 year old?

Reading these comments it is now perfectly clear to me why gays and lesbians were persecuted for centuries.

Dumb argument. There is literally no taboo against age difference couples for as long as they are adult. You can in rea world get married with a 99 year old man on a death bed for as long as you ar and adult and he can still consent.

discord and fluttershy are best friends, not lovers, don’t pretending them as couple. They never had romance, this is about friendship, not your things. you can not change the reproduction of a brontosaurus oviparous to viviparous. they are officially friends. you and others must get it.

does not matter he stop ageing but his age number still goes up that is the logic for any immortal
@Background Pony #ADE0  
There’s a huge difference between “pretending something is true” and “shipping”. Just let people ship what they want to ship.

Yes, they’re best friends in canon. But when it comes to fan-related content, people can still ship them. People don’t have to follow canon to a T with the ships they like.
 
@Background Pony #95FA  
I have two basic theories on that:
 
  1. It partially comes up to their designs. Discord has a white beard and eyebrows while Celestia and Luna don’t really look much different from many ponies outside of being taller and having flowing magical manes.
     
  2. It may also have to do with the character’s genders. A lot of people are more okay with older women (and female characters) dating younger adults than with men (and male fictional characters) doing the same. From what I’ve seen many people online love talking about MILFs but not so much with DILFs. Likewise, I’ve seen the media talk about and encourage cougar relationships but often times it portrays men doing the same as weird or creepy.

    I can agree with you guys on all of that. And with that, I’m unsubbing.  
Background Pony #49E5
I think it’s strange that the discussion of age differences almost always comes up when it’s about Discord shipping, yet very rarely comes up for Celestia or Luna ships.

Trying to use “logic” on a lord of chaos like Discord kind of really doesn’t make sense.
 
Also, I feel the need to bring up that there’s a trope for this sort of thing: Immortality Begins at 20. It’s for when many fictional races and creatures live a long time but are basically like young adults physically and mentally like elves, vampires, dragons (and dragon people), mutants (like Wolverine from the X-Men), and aliens (like Kryptonians and Martians from the DC Comics or Gems from Steven Universe).

Ship who you want to ship and let others do the same. Honestly, you’re almost all taking this bait way too seriously.

Yeah, but if Discord is immortal, would HE care if she’s too young or for that matter, would she care? To him, 70 years with her would be like movie going on fast-forward, to her, she would be more concerned about leaving him alive behind while she would be nothing but dust. It’s a romance that won’t find a happy ending but it is also a romance that would offer few years of memorable bliss to the two.

Ugh, would you guys quit it? How about you all just ship what you want to ship, and stop making points to the others about why it’s better? Sound fair?

it does count the years even if someone stops ageing and are immortal they are still old it does not change that it’s called logic
