  Better than the quidditch craze from 10 years ago, until it’s revealed a horse is transphobic.

    until it’s revealed a horse is transphobic.

    No need to worry there, I think I speak for all of us when I say: Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️‍⚧️

    Waiting for the bombshell documentary, Seabiscuit 2, to show some of those uncomfortable truths.

    The premise of umamusume is that horses from our world get reincarnated as horse girls in the world of umamusume.

    Yes, even the male horses.

  Honestly, this sounds fun. Displaying, enjoy talks about the anime, being sportive and just having a fun time.

  Prefer this than all the current conflicts in the world.

  I was born in Denver and have been a lifelong Broncos fan…. Now because of this I have to answer questions whenever I wear a jersey.

    “Is it hard to breathe?”

    “What’s the best ski lodge?”

    “Do you know any good neighborhoods? I’m looking to work from home.”

      I live in the south now, I only give it away when I’m wearing an Avs sweater or a Donkey jersey.

      But you are SPOT on from when I lived there.

  Clearly ya’ll have not known any horse girls.

  This is extremely normal for them.

  I’d be willing to bet there are nearly 0 horse girls who are not also absolute super fans of some kind of cartoon media / video game.

  I dated a horse girl back in the late 00’s.

  She was studying Japanese at Uni, and I am 90% was writing fan subs for Death Note, as it was coming out.

  … We did not end up working out, but she’s since gone on to literally cross all of Mongolia, on horseback.

  Do not fuck with nor underestimate horse girls.

  I didn’t even know “Horse Girl” is a word that existed.

  source

  • NOT_RICK@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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

      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.

      It would be a good thing if we were going away from god in the right direction. I’m not sure this is the right direction.

  Amazing! Love it. I was too poor to be a horse girl in high school. I knew some girls that were and this seems very much something they’d do!
