Description
People should stop bashing brony fanartists just because they make Spike a grown ass man that is around the same age as Rarity and Twilight Sparkle (maybe for the sake of waifu shit). It's called Alternate Reality for a damn reason, everyone has it.Hell, I have many alternate realities/universes towards the Friendship Is Magic universe where Spike is a grown ass man for the sake of shipping and other stuff. I know that he is a baby dragon in the Faust/FiM universe and a dog in the McCarthy/EqG universe, but he has a crush on Rarity. And when they ship Sparity, they make Spike a grown up so they can ship it so easily, even if it's not happening for real.
Let them draw Spike as a grown up so Spike and Rarity can have a happily ever after ending in their fanfics and imagination. Whether it's canon or not.
Did this because I am sick and tired of Kurtus mann's ironic bullshit, like He hates Sparity (because of pedophilia and most of all the "waifu" bullcrap) and yet he likes Spike and is his "best friend". Bloody hell, A true, TRUE friend doesn't ruin another's love life. (Even though I like SweetieSpike too.)
Spike needs more love, everyone. (And don't get me started on your Rarijack bullshit.)

It's pedophilia. Rarity is a pedo ship. No matter what you say, it still is. It's gross and I don't get why people ship it. If you have to age up a character to make it Ok, that is a sign you shouldn't be shipping it.
Everyone that ships sparity is supporting pedophilia.

I'm okay with someone drawing a character as older than they really are, but I don't really support making them older just to pair them with other characters.
It doesn't really make it any less creepy..

My only issue is the fact Bronies are fighting over his /canon/ age, despite Jim Miller on Twitter said you can make him whatever age you want in your stories and photos.

Amen sister.
Dragons most likely grow up faster than ponies for all we know, plus, Spike is going to get older eventually. I don't understand people who want to keep Spike a baby forever.

I really don't see anything wrong about aging up Spike. Ship him with any of the Mane Six, people call it molesation. Ship him with a Crusader, people call it molesation. :/
(And I'm a girl who likes both SpikeBelle and ALL the Mane Six X Spike ships. Though I never liked Sparity until a little bit now.)
We all have our own headcanons and AUs. We're allowed to ship what we want and hate what we hate. So it's silly how everyone makes a great deal over Spike's age just for the sake of shipping here. Besides there are good and even excellent proof for both sides of the debate on Spike's years of age.Β
Personally I'm actually hoping and waiting for the day they confirm whether Spike is old as the CMC or not so these agurements end.Β Don't get me started on RariJack by the way like you said even if that's off-topic. I feel that ship is shoved down our throats in the show.

People's argument against Sparity is that he's a "baby dragon" and probably a child about 8-10 at the oldest, simply because of his young appearance. Then they say that dragons tend to age slower, despite that Twilight was only a filly when she hatched him. Yet that's not entirely true. Dragons actually have a fairly unusual way of growing/aging. Most of what I've read tells me that they tend to grow faster if they were raised in the wild and/or have to face certain dilemmas, which Spike generally hasn't. It's also been said that some growth methods, such as the greed, don't speed up the age process, but only the growth process. While this may be true for some methods, it's likely that other methods do indeed speed up both. Otherwise, it could be argued that even the older dragons that we saw in Dragon Quest only look that way artificially, but in reality are (supposedly) actually significantly younger than that. Granted, we don't know how long those dragons had been around, but still. Lastly, we need to acknowledge that some animals and breeds have a slower growth process in general, but it doesn't necessarily also always mean that their growth is being slowed down too. Which may well be the case with Spike, especially considering he wasn't raised like most dragons, as I said. Yeah yeah, I know dragons can live for thousands of years, but these points still stand.
Not to mention, for being a "baby dragon", he's taken on a lot of things and does a handful of things that would be considered quite a lot for a mere child. The stuff he does around the library, including the fact that he's often left in charge of things on his own. He even went to Canterlot on his own once, if I recall correctly. Honestly, most responsible adults don't leave their child own their own, especially with big responsibilities, until a certain age, making it highly unlikely that he's as young as 8-10, as so many write him off as. Intercepting the Diamond Dogs, helping to reform Rarity twice, once in the Nightmare Rarity comic, and again in Inspiration Manifestation. I don't really care if the comics are canon to the show or not. I'm pretty sure he also helped to save the day in Twilight's Kingdom. Not to mention he's the voice of reason at times, even if not so much in the later seasons.
Honestly, is it that much to ask of people to do a little research on how dragons grow/age? Guess it is. Why would you want to take precious moments of your day that you could be using doing other things? Instead, just call it pedophilia because he's a "baby dragon" and based on his appearance, lest you waste precious moments of your day.

Let's take a look at some of the typical arguments Sparity haters use against this couple (current ages). Note that there will be good amount of ranting because there's a lot to address.
-"OMG but he's a baby dragon, she's an adult pony!"
So? He's not necessarily a baby as per physical years. In physical years, he's likely a young teen, pre-teen at the youngest, considering Twilight was only a filly herself when she hatched him. And since the mane 6 are said to be in their early 20s, they're likely only a few years apart in age.
-"But dragons age significantly slower than ponies, and generally live for thousands of years. By the time Spike is old enough, Rarity would be really old or dead."
While we can see that Spike (as well as most other dragons) do seem to grow slower, we don't know if it means they age slower too or not. If it does, then the growth/aging process could still be sped up if Spike were to be greedier. I saw someone say that dragons grow giant when they hoard stuff, and it wouldn't make Spike older. But that's a stupid claim. Zecora even said "A dragon's heart is prone to greed. A steady diet to increase growth speed." Meaning Spike could potentially still grow/age faster if he were to be more greedy, and also balance it out a bit, which he didn't do in that one episode. Some have said that the greed helps him grow, but doesn't affect the aging. But that would make no sense either. For his regular growth rate to be in accordance with his aging rate, but for another means of growing faster, to NOT affect the age rate. That would make no sense. Let's use our brains here. Also, one more thing to consider is that the ponies seem to age more like humans than real ponies in this show. From what I've heard, most ponies live around 20 some years, occasionally 30 some. And the mane 6 are said to be in their early 20s (as addressed before), and that's about the age they both look and act like. In real pony years, they'd be significantly older. So, with this said, it's also possible that the way Spike ages is different than most dragons. Sure, we can see that it's being kept a bit slowed down because of the greed growth thing, but otherwise, we don't know for sure how old he is, nor can we prove that they chose to give him the same kind of lifespan as that of most dragons, especially since they clearly aren't doing so with the ponies.
-"Spike's crush is more like that of a child's crush on a teacher or babysitter, and he acts like a child for the most part."
In the first season, I'd say yes. I'd agree with that. He didn't seem to see much in her besides her beauty, and his attempts to impress her weren't that great (i.e.: fake mustaches). But it seems like as the series has progressed, he's grown to appreciate her for more than that, as well as maturing in his attempts to impress her. Remember Secret of My Excess, anypony? He clearly cared more about her happiness than his own, as he was willing to give up his red gem for her. Don't even try to tell me that Rarity used her charm on him to make him give it to her. You could tell that he was already thinking about giving it to her as she was starting to walk away, about to let him keep it. And it's not as if she didn't show any gratitude for it after the fact. She did. Besides just the little kiss, she told the others that it was one of the kindest and most inspiring acts she'd ever witnessed. And later said he was the sweetest, most generous dragon ever. There have also been various other instances in which he was willing to put her happiness before his, like when he helped her with Trenderhoof. Not to mention, he's often left in charge of, as well as has taken on many things, that would be considered a lot for a mere child. Sure, he admittedly has some child-like behaviors, but that could be said of some (if not all) of the mane 6 too. Even when I was in high school, I still exhibited some rather immature traits, and the same could be said for many of my classmates, too.
"Rarity just uses him, and would rather be with a fancy stallion. Also, the species mix is just plain weird and wrong. She only likes him as a friend anyway."
-She really hasn't used him that much lately nearly as much as she did in the first season. Maybe still arguably to somewhat of an extent, but not nearly as much. In fact, she's grown to appreciate him, and like him as a friend, even if only as a friend. And to be fair, that's at least a start, right? Besides, the fact that it seems like she herself prefers the fancy/dreamy/royal stallions is more or less the same kind of crush/attraction that various fans accuse Spike of (only liking them for their looks and/or being popular/royal). Remember her attraction to Blueblood and Trenderhoof and how neither of those worked out, albeit for slightly different reasons? So, yeah... She herself could afford to look quantities other than just appearance and/or being fancy/dreamy/royal, like Spike has, to at least some extent, as I pointed out. Maybe then she could learn to give Spike a chance, after all he's done for her. Besides, why does species matter so much? Interspecies couples aren't exactly unheard of, especially when it comes to FICTIONAL series. In fact, DonkeyxDragon (Shrek) is almost the same idea as this couple, as far as species is concerned. Also, I've watched my share of cartoons and tv shows, and needless to say, there have been some in which it took the girl at least a good few seasons before she was willing to give the guy a chance. So there's another thing to consider.
In all fairness, Spike is likely already closer to her age than most people say. And if he isn't, it could easily be fixed, as addressed in my second point. And Spike being with Sweetie or a female dragon just feel like mediocre alternatives/backups. People are allowed to like or dislike whatever ships they want, but what I said are still valid points that needed to be addressed.
My first point was probably the shortest of all the rant sections. Lol. Oh well. It all still needed to be said in the end.

well, he is older than he looks, being he has an unusual aging pattern. But drawing him older to get rid of the notion of pedophilia is awesome.

I agree. While I like SweetieSpike too, I do n't think there is any more than 5 year age gap between Spike and Rarity (going by human years).

Let me guess. You're on board the "OMG it's pedophilia" bandwagon, even though Spike is likely older than he looks and he's likely only a few years younger than her when you consider all the facts.
I also see you chose to avoid the question of who you ship him with. So, no one then?

If Twilight can grow from a Unicorn to an Alicorn(Getting taller every episode) then Spike can grow from a baby to a Dragon adult.

If the tv mane six can get paired with Shipping Colts.Then they mature in age every season.
