I don't see where horny comes into this. Steampunk is generally Victorian dress, teched up a bit.
Maybe it's just me, but when I think of steampunk, I imagine women wearing the bottom half of a dress and a corset. Usually corsets are worn under clothing and is similar to a bra. It doesn't help that lingerie is very similar in appearance to corsets
Also, useless gears on every single thing, even if they don't move. And tophats with a pair of goggles while also having a pair of goggles of the same type on the neck. And there are gears on the tophat of course.
Still shuddering about Clockwork Planet where t hey somehow rebuild an another planet mostly with gears and everywhere are just gears stack on top of each other connecting to nothing. It's just gears all the way down, because, that's how it works.
I love the casual disregard for questions about what happens when one of those gears jams.
Naturally. You need goggles for your goggles!
This is of course in addition to the goggles he wears over his eyes
When I think "steampunk costume" my mind kinda leaps to "Wild west technohooker."

🎵 Just glue some gears on it, and call it steam punk 🎵
🎵 That's the trendy fashion nowadays! 🎵
Its the women who put on a corset and use it to smash their tiddies way up under their chin... also a significant portion who decide that knee high high heeled boots, long skirts that have a split very high on the thigh and fishnets complete the ensemble.
Its less victorian and more cowboy era saloon prostitute, but you dont hear me complaining.
Horny "about" it. It's just slang that means people like it, possibly to an excessive degree. Like I would say I'm horny for SoulsBorne games...
Maybe that's what horny means to you Netherlands types but that's not what it means here! Here, it means wild west technohookers! Like that other guy said!
Both interpretations work
The fediverse is free and open! I'm not from/in the Netherlands...
