  It always meant “girls obsessed with horses” to me growing up. I remember some of the assholes at my high school giving them a hard time asking them if they want to fuck the horses.

  This seems like a whole different thing entirely.

    This is different, yes (it’s another gacha game but with horse racing except the horses are anime girls). But the Venn Diagram between the two different breeds of “horse girls” is looking more and more like a circle with each passing day

      One thing that makes it fun is each of the characters they add is based on an actual race-horse. For instance there’s a memetic and weird racer named Gold Ship, based on a horse of the same name that was similarly wacky and unpredictable.

    Yeah, they are different things.

    A horse girl, in my understanding of the phrase, isn’t merely conceptual obsession… its actually being a stablehand, a rider, a trainer, a groomer, something like that actually being around horses for significant amounts of time.

    I guess this is a dated reference at this point but Beth from Rick and Morty is a horse girl, a girl who really likes to play with pony toys is not.

    Though, horse girls … do tend to be somewhere between eccentric and bonkers, I would not put it past them to have some … fair amount of kink.

    That being said, if you can actually ride a horse, you’ve seen a horse cock, and you know that’ll fucking kill you.

    Its kinda similar to how people who actually are familiar with guns, and are not total idiots, will cringe at people who know nothing about guns, making all kinds of jokes and ‘deductions’ that actually make no sense.

      Indeed, who can forget the embarrassing demise of Mr Hands?

  Technically two words.
