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.

What about the traditional, traditional unicorn? (A rhino, most likely.

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 🥰

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

You joke but people do blame "feminisation"

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

They're force femming the unicorns?

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

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

Minimal similarity to any domesticated animals

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