Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I wake up on a Monday and I get a horse-girl based WTF.

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

Another solid data point for my “horse girl to elder emo pipeline” 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.

Ok, I am not familiar with either 'elder emo girls' nor 'tail girls'.

Elder emo girls does not make sense to me at all, because emo girls are essentially the exact opposite of horse girls.

Horse girls learn how to do things, many things, practical things, and be good at them.

Emo girls are angsty, and make bad poetry or art, then usually either phase out of that, or transition into rave/scene girls, develop serious drug problems, and then basically work in retail or customer service the rest of their lives, with few exceptions... maybe a few become tattoo artists or become actually halfway decent at some other kind of art.

Perhaps you are thinking of elder goth girls?

Not the same thing as emo, not even close.


Tail girls?

I... do you mean a furry, some kind of anthro/humanoid type person?

No, I've never known a single horse girl that became or also is/was a furry or puppy girl or anything like that, again they tend to be extremely practical and utilitarian, they tend to be fairly domineering, task/goal oriented.

They just also have eccentric hobbies/interests.

They do not need to fantasize an alternate identity as an animal, because so much of their lives involve very real and often traumatic experiences with animals, so they understand them in a much more grounded and realistic way.
