I collected several of my "New Living Internet Translations" of Classical Chinese passages in the style of social media posts onto one page. https://xn--hmr.net/classicalchinese/livinginternet/

@0xabad1dea see, today Umamusume just shows us a horse's rank
@ratsnakegames no, it's just that everyone who plays Uma Musume already has Horse Autism.
@0xabad1dea @ratsnakegames i have an umamusume poster but it's about ketamine

@whitequark this raises the question: which umamusume is most likely to take ketamine

my money is on Golshi

@ratsnakegames @whitequark nah, it's always the quiet ones, I'm thinking Nishino Flower maybe

@ratsnakegames @whitequark I would also, alternately, suggest Nakayama Festa but she looks like way more of a heroin person.

(Cygames quietly adding a rule below "don't lewd the horsegirls", "don't hard street drug the horsegirls")

@bitprophet @whitequark they're telling people to not lewd the girls from their cute girl gacha game? yeah, that's gonna work

@ratsnakegames @whitequark my understanding is it’s because even tacitly endorsing horsegirl sexy times would risk them losing their licenses to portray the real horses. Obviously, not gonna stop the fan artists but hey!

This situation also makes me ponder an equivalent one w/r/t Forza losing their Lamborghini license because someone drew a Lambo on top of McQueen from Cars. Which Rule 34 states must exist somewhere…
