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

    Prefer this than all the current conflicts in the world.

    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 mid to late 00’s.

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

    Oh and she also was just fully fabricating her own cosplays, like multiple a year, at the kind of quality level you’d see people making businesses out of on etsy, a decade later.

    … 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.

        … Damn.

        I had to look that up, I’d never even heard of that manga.

        Also: WTF I didn’t even know CLAMP was that old?!

        … Yeah, this is what I mean, horse girls are somehow able to consistently out-nerd me, and I do find this intimidating, lol.

          I’d recommend the show over the manga. It’s why I laugh about the whole idea that “isekai” is new. I just want to be a girl ontop of Tokyo Tower and be transported into a new world where I am a Magical Girl xD

            The funny part is the way Isekai is used now has been around in Japan for decades, but even going further back the old school Isekai were just an adoption of a style do story telling from eastern European stories into a Japanese style.

            Those old eastern European stories go back hundreds of years. It’s funny to watch tropes people think are new in anime show up in old ass stories from like the Ukraine region decades before anything remotely close showed up in manga or anime.

    So now that furries are more accepted, especially here on the fediverse, are horse girls the next “last group” it’s ok to be assholes to online?

    Just let people have fun.

      Nobody makes fun of furries or horsegirls for being into animals.

      They make fun of them for being insufferable twats who make everything about themselves and their feelings.

        Nobody makes fun of gay men for being into men.

        They make fun of them for being insufferable twats who make everything about themselves and their feelings.

        Thanks for providing an example of exactly what I mean.

        My cousin is a horse girl. She’s a crazy insufferable twat that burns though boyfriends like crazy because she’s an emotionally manipulative bitch.

        Every horse girl iv know in the last 20 years and I’ve known hundreds have been unhinged one way or another.

    I would have guessed a “horse girl” is a girl who likes horses and probably horse-riding. Wouldn’t have been surprised: when I was a teen, we had 50% boys/girls horse riders, and today it seems most teen horse-riders are girls.
    But this is beyond anything I would have imagined. I guess I’m reaching that age where I can’t comprehend the young’s trends.

      I’ve never met a male who was into horses or horseback riding my entire life.

      I have met/known several horse girls/women and they all fit the stereotype of being a spoiled princess who throws crying tantrums when they don’t get their way. I regularly get interest from horse women on dating apps, but ignore them all because of this.

      And to clarify, I’m talking about people who own/ride horses and often do dressage and or showjumping stuff. Not people who fantasize about it.

      That said, I have not ever met a horsegirl who was also into anime. That’s a genre cross over that I am just learning about today from this article.

    WTF is a “horse girl”? Umamusume? Is that some anime thing I’m not weeb enough to know?

    I’m afraid to ask these questions because I feel like I’m always so disappointed in the answer.

    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.”

      As a Seattle native, I feel I must apologize on behalf of all the clueless MicroSlopers and Amazonians you’ve had to endure.

        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.
