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! π³οΈββ§οΈ
so you're trans horse phobic π€¨οΈ
Neigh. We welcome all identities, human or otherwise.
Waiting for the bombshell documentary, Seabiscuit 2, to show some of those uncomfortable truths.
until it's revealed a horse is transphobic
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.
Now that is equality.
Equinity*
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.
I may not get it, however it seems harmless, especially up against the senseless violence you're eluding to
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% sure she 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.
Sometimes I wish I had that dedication.
I'm a 45 yr old horse girl. Can confirm. I have Magic Knight: Rayearth tattoos.
... 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.

Another solid data point for my βhorse girl to elder emo pipelineβ theory. My working theory is that all horse girls eventually evolve into (at least) one of the following two groups: Elder emo girls, or tail girls.

I kinda love it honestly.
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.
Everytime I see something about it I just wonder why it's popular.

Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.
The movie that came out semi recently was also really goddamn good
The game's actually really well made. The anime is fantastic author behind. It is incredibly respectful to the horses in the heritage of them. Honestly, all things said and done. It's just a generally highly polished IP with a lot of respect to the source material on the horses and it does a lot of charity and good.
The fans are just crazy
It's a mobile game where you train anime girls modeled after horses to race.

There have always been Horse Girls, whether they own a horse or not. Many girls go through a Horse Girl phase, and it sticks for some. When I was in elementary school, all the girls wanted to read Misty of Chincoteague, but the school library only had a couple of copies, so there was always a waiting list for it.
This is Horse Girl with an Anime twist. Not that big of a surprise really.
Uma (馬) is horse in Japanese and musume (ε¨) is daughter (or young, unmarried woman, I guess). Beyond that, I have no idea what is going on.
Thanks for this invaluable insight into the epidemiology of horse girls.

I was born in Denver and have been a lifelong Broncos fanβ¦. 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 would have guessed a "horse girl"β―is a girl who likes horses and probably horse-riding. Wouldn't have been surprised: when Iβ―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.

Well, at least theyβre outside.
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.

Every day, we stray futher from god
Oh please. There's nothing wrong with a bunch of girls horsing around.
Good
That's why we made horse girls that can chase him down before he gets away
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!
I didn't even know "Horse Girl" is a word that existed.
It always meant βgirls obsessed with horsesβ 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 with horse racing as the main concept, 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.
