Meanwhile, real-life unicorns:

Artist's recreation of the extinct Siberian unicorn, Elasmotherium sibiricum, which is really a type of rhinoceros. The Siberian unicorn is large and bulky with a strikingly large horn and is here reconstructed with a thick brown coat.

Minimal similarity to any domesticated animals

That is a goat with a long tail. They've even got the cloven hooves.

there needs to be more traditional unicorns (the ones on the right) in media than "modern" unicorns

not only do they seem more interesting and original, but i'm sure you can get a "modern" unicorn by just attaching a horn on a horse's [fore]head. not to mention, like another person here said - they are just more whimsical 🥰

You joke but people do blame "feminisation"

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

They're force femming the unicorns?

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

The unicorn wasn't femme enough so they made it more horse-like?? Don't know how long it would take to describe that mental gymnastics choreography...

I think they mean that rainbows and horses are feminine or some shit. I don't pretend to know how cis men think

I guess it has to do with the rise of live-action fantasy. in animation you can draw them as fantastical as you like but in live-action you kinda just have to stick that ice cream cone on that horse, unless you're gonna do it with CGI which comes with its own problems

I like that fella on the right. Whimsical creature. A horse is just a horse, of course.

bourgeois liberals need to make their unicorns hircine and ungrounded, they forget the majesty inherent in the noble horse
