…. I like how Rice Shower/Curren Chan calls you Onee sama/chan (Big Sister) if you’re a female player though, so I’m definitely a girl then.

But even though I have my gender set to female in game, sometimes I imagine that certain trainers are male. There are also instances where there are I am romantically interested in an uma, and am actively self inserting as the trainer, but I still imagine that the trainer is MALE, instead of female

Funnily enough, yes, I DO have specific uma musume characters where I ship them with the trainer. I also have my theories on which uma are the most romantically interested in their trainer, regardless of whether or not I ship it.

But thanks to the dumb culture war between chud gatekeeper straight dudes and leftist queer people, Umamusume is the prime fandom for me to feel this awkwardness, because I like Uma yuri, AND uma x trainer/self insert (regardless of gender)

At the end of the day, people are allowed to have their opinions and preferences on ships, and even express them aloud. It’s actively harassing others and trying to bully others out of their ships that’s bad, of course.

I’ve hesitated to talk about this in detail because it’s kinda hypocritical of me- I’m iffy about certain fictional cops, after all. But even fictional COP hating can really stupid (people unironically getting worked up about Paw Patrol or some shit)

If you aren’t even allowed to indulge in certain things in a fictional context, you’d go completely crazy, wouldn’t you?

There are plenty of things people may like or want, but you know you shouldn’t really have it because it’s unethical somehow, bad for the environment, goes against leftist values, etc. But even though you know it’s bad, it doesn’t entirely stop you from wanting or liking it

I still consider daydreaming about being rich in various ways to be an appealing fantasy. Sorry, but I don’t care for imagining myself living in a queer socialist commune and working on a farm instead.

But being so caught up on the real life equivalent you can’t turn your brain off and like an ojou-sama archetype? Come on now. And to push it further with my deviation from real world vaules-

But in general, yeah, we all know being rich, especially if you’re a millionaire, is intrinsically unethical, is built on exploitation, and rich people tend to be less empathetic, this is all true.

Then I replayed her career mode and reaffirmed that Agnes Tachyon is my favorite so far 😅

I mean, she also has a moderately problematic history and personality, not surprising considering her particular aesthetic and beliefs, but also her career is dead and she didn’t kill or rape anybody so I don’t really care, Melanie Martinez is more sus at this point

Actually, these two could have some insane hate sex

Not to imply that I think consider Umamusume pseudo-incest (shipping Umas that are related in real life, but not in the actual game) to be gross, because I don’t.

Sure, you could definitely take her relationship with King Halo and turn it into yuribait. It seems like most people prefer to interpret that relationship as a pseudo mother-daughter relationship though, because King Halo is Kawakami Princess’ dad in real life.

Well, even if she fantasizes over princes and uses you to act out those fantasies, her dialogue is the same even if you’re female, so… she’s just my sister in arms as a maledom loving bisexual. Except, she clearly seems willing to randomly subvert gender roles at times. A switch? 😮
