horsethoughtbarn 9 japanese horse racing

tldr seeking info about japanese horse racing ethics

all this talk about uma musume seems to have encouraged a lot of people to support and enjoy real life horse racing and seeing as cygames the company that makes the uma musume game has become a sponsor of the kentucky derby i am rather alarmed as i am a huge hater of western horse racing for its many many many problems regarding horse welfare and aftercare of retired horses

so ive been doing some research on japanese horse racing and so far im impressed with the way it is so centralized and controlled especially regarding horse care however i havent been able to find much on aftercare prior to the japanese racing associations 2024 plans for improving the aftercare for and retraining of its retired racehorses however i havent had time to do a full deep dive into everything about japanese horse racing so id like to know yalls thoughts on the matter and if you have any good sources on the welfare and aftercare of japanese racehorses

once i have the time to go through everything i can ill try to make another long post about what i learn so everyone can see i think its really important to do research on stuff like this when an animal sport becomes popular especially one as rife with scandal and abuse as horse racing is it is up to us humans to look out and stand up for animals who cannot do so themselves

does having my horse descriptions stolen by a big horse twitter account mean i’ve made it big …

sigh … i got them to take these two down at least, but i had to call each one out individually to them for them to do it and they said it was just an accident that they were extremely similar and that a conscious effort had been made to NOT make them similar… i feel bad making like an actual “callout” since they took the posts down and said they felt bad but when i contacted them about it they only took one post down until i specifically asked them about another so they seemed to be trying to get away with what they could hoping i wouldnt find more...unsure

i'm not upset about the images because the purpose of the horseimagebarn (aside from funny descriptions) is to sort and archive horse images so people can find the exact kind of horse image they're looking for with ease...what bothers me (as i am not exactly "upset" as that's a bit intense, more just annoyed and disappointed) is the use of my descriptions

i surprisingly put a lot of effort into my posts so it sucks to see someone with one of the biggest horse image/meme accounts on twitter that i previously really enjoyed and looked up to all of a sudden start stealing my posts and even when they don’t, they use really similar tone and phrasing to mine which would be fine on its own but combined with the stealing it makes me feel very strange like someone is just trying to be me somewhere else and getting a lot more attention for it (attention is not why i do this, but it's just like an extra kick to the penis to see them have so much of it for my work!!)

i had originally kept the subject of this post anonymous but due to the amount of asks i receive on horseimagebarn about this and the continued similarity of the accounts posts i will say for clarity that it is @/horseimage on twitter, but DO NOT HARASS THEM or bother them at all, i do NOT want to be the one to start horse image community drama (dischorse as we have coined it), i deleted twitter a while ago and am choosing to just out of sight out of mind them and hope for the best

shoutout to my wonderful friends in the horseblr discord for helping me check the account and figure out the plagiarized posts i love you fellows

i honestly cant believe a controversial take is that gay couples in media can and should have problemtaic™ features of their relationships. no one on earth has ever had a 100% perfect healthy relationships with no issues ever but as soon as media wants to show conflict between characters it’s bad and homophobic

Me, lowkey wondering why so many people in the Reddie tag have been posting about bottom Eddie being superior unprompted:

Me, remembering I blocked all bottom Richie accounts: oh
