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
nope, just cowboy, samurai, pirate
everyone's somehow got an answer locked and loaded
Autumn Meadow@lety
I choose pirate since their code is more of a guideline.

@meadow do cowboys have a code???

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I can't find any notes to indicate if the familiarity of that phrase is from Hollywood, books and legends, or a factual historical reference, but that phrase comes from somewhere."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
@tunafishtiger based based based

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.
The Witch of Crow Briar@lety somebody finally asking the questions people think about multiple times a day 😂

Apparently I'm not allowed to vote on my own polls so I need someone indifferent on this issue to please vote pirate for me
EDIT: thank you @catsalad clone #437
not me accidentally self-quote-replying to my own post

Leo@lety I'm already a pirate (of sorts), so a samurai pirate for peak aura farming
@lety for all pirate voters!
Gender David Copperfield@lety pirate, so I can be the cabin boy :3
@lety oh also I once hugged an actual pirate in a bar in Thailand once, so that probably influenced my vote

Ada (Villain arc) 🏳️⚧️@lety cowboys aren't actually that interesting historically. Pirates probably don't have a lot of mildly interesting stuff going on between the really interesting stuff, and samurais are like domesticated sword owners. Sure they have their responsibilities but they also have more skills. I'm down with being a samurai.
Dopes The Frogman@lety we're already pirates
Process "Tedious" Parsnip@lety look, pirates have a proud history of including disabled and queer people in a multi-ethnic society, so the choice seems obvious.
I don't know about the queerness of Samurai but pirates are definitely ahead of cowboys, regardless of famous movie.
@lety tbh the real reason is that horses have always seemed shifty to me
Rimuru TempestA samurai cowboy pirate 😂

💤@lety 🏴☠️ vote for Lety
Orion Ussner kidder@lety Cowboy is at least a job that's useful. Samurai are just enforcers for warlords, and pirates... I mean, yikes. No.

MetalPlates@omggstuff @lety Dereshishishishi!
@lety Got me reminiscing about being a kid playing with the others in the neighborhood. Especially messing around pretending to be in those old samurai/ninja/Godzilla/Bruce Lee movies that are badly (read wonderfully) dubbed.
@VirsagoStein next poll will be godzilla or bruce lee 
@lety No! Please don't make me choose! It'll tear me apart. Hehe.

I responded thinking very realistically about working conditions, and picked samurai based entirely on hygiene and workplace safety (although depending on the point in Japanese history, it could be both dirty and very dangerous; mid-Edo Period for me, please).

esc key@lety @chaotic_evil I’d rather be a cowboy but I think if I’m honest about my nature, I’d most thrive as a samurai.
Noa@lety I have a suspicion of where this question came from!
Daniel Liu@lety My preference is based largely on expected bathroom facilities.
Michael Vilain@lety I think it would be fun to cook for them.
thefathippyAs an Australian *of a certain age*, I chose samurai.
The Samurai (TV series) was extremely popular with Aussie kids in the 1900s. *Everyone* wanted to be a samurai or ninja! 😂
