I don't like when people use polyamory as a gotcha to a ship war dispute and act like they're above it all and enjoying the best of both worlds and therefore more enlightened than the fools who can't imagine that a character can love more than one pony.
Like you especially see it with people telling people to get on board with Rariappledash when, I'm sorry, but people who like one of the popular ships can have very valid reasons for not liking the other and NOT find "Applejack has two hooves" compelling if they just don't see her as being interested in one of them. Like I used to go for Rariappledash then rewatched the show and found it much harder to imagine it actually working out smoothly when I thought harder about it. It feels like it just exploded as a vehicle to reconcile the less well set up canon implication of future Appledash with the strong presence of Rarijack in the later seasons by people who didn't like the idea Rarijack had to break up to make Appledash happen.
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the polyshippers act like they're better than everyone else and not engaging in the fight, but by being condescending about it, they accidentally ARE part of the fight. I actually personally enjoy a lot of different poly ships, I just don't think it's fair to act like doing so makes you more evolved than someone who happens to have a strong preference between two popular ships. They aren't solving the problem, just adding another faction.
