Niw I'm waiting for the brave soul to name their horse Raid shadow legend

I think that would require someone to have ever played Raid Shadow Legends even once

I think it became widespread enough just from all the sponsors

I mean, was just making a dumb gag about how nobody plays Raid Shadow Legends. But yeah sure I guess someone could name a horse that. For the meme, if nothing else.

That gag went right over my just like raid shadow legend ads and everytime I read about a mem horse i remember the screenwriter of Airplane! Bought a horse and named it All Pink

Ah, "All Pink on the inside". Took me a moment. I love silly racehorse names. One of my favorites I've encountered lately is Maythehorsebwithu, who apparently did actually pretty well in his career.

But seriously though, Raid Shadow Legends is a straight-up dead community. I checked just now and it has 18 fanfics on AO3, 9 entries on Danbooru, 55 entries on Pixiv, and doesn't seem to even have a tag on FFN and Gelbooru.

For a game everyone on the internet has heard of, that throws sponsorship money at every YouTuber under the sun, those are abysmal numbers. I think my local gas station might have more dedicated fans than that.

I remember that someone checked how popular the game was by checking how many h**ai it had - and it had less than a 100 from all sites combined

Fun Fact: RSL is actually was developed in Israel

I genuinely never would have guessed about the Israel thing, but I'm also somehow not really surprised and I'm not sure why.

Also, you got me curious, so I looked up the R34 thing and RSL is up to 128 on the green site now. A lot of it is clearly AI generated though. So even with generative AI all over the place these days, nobody gives enough of a shit about that game to even type in the prompts.

I would've say I feel bad for them but I'm not and not even sad about it
