lmao i love the immediacy people are responding to this poll with zero explanation, like this is a question everyone's just ready to answer
every fucking poll has some smartass chiming in with “what about option D???” by now

everyone's somehow got an answer locked and loaded

I choose pirate since their code is more of a guideline.

You know, I don't actually know for sure. I do know my memory banks have the phrase "That's (not) the cowboy way" stored in them. I can't find any notes to indicate if the familiarity of that phrase is from Hollywood, books and legends, or a factual historical reference, but that phrase comes from somewhere."
A search tells me I know the phrase from a film but also that Gene Autry published a cowboy code. The code, I must say, is respectable and one I would follow, but given he was an actor, it seems it's likely only a Hollywood thing

TunafishTiger@lety the three primary genders of which all subgenders propagate
@tunafishtiger my pronouns are yo/ho
@lety ho representation is so important
@lety cowboys are inherently gay culture and I chose cowboy out of respect for the game

I chose Samurai. (Also already likely a pirate.)

VirsagoStein@lety I feel like these cover most things older people played pretend as kids. Only thing I could think of to add is Ninja/Power Ranger.
@VirsagoStein I think I upset someone who chimed in with that like 40 responses in by calling them a smartass
But I meant like, “smartass (lovingly)”
Michelle HughesNo, I had to think about this.
My understanding is that being a cowboy is a hard job that doesn't pay much. Doesn't sound like a good time.
I don't think I could handle hurting or killing people, or even threatening to do so, so I don't want to be a pirate. Also, I think it's pretty difficult to make a good living doing that, too.
Samurais, you gotta like deal with all that shitty feudalism, but at least you get to live comfortably.
