pirates supported same-sex marriage, so Iβll go with that π³οΈβπ
People dress up as cowboys now. Go to your local Walmart.
Speaking of, why the fuck aren't they shamed into the shadow realm like I would be if I dressed as a samurai while getting the bread and milk?
Anyway that's my answer, Samurai.
Because cowboys unlike your weird understanding of what a cowboy "is," actually still exist. Some of the people at your local Walmart are literally blue-color workers with the job title "cowboy." Now why you would want those laborers banished to "the shadow realm" is obviously some kind of perverted understanding of class in american society that you need to work out for yourself. Hopefully you can understand that actual cowboys exist to today, but Samurais, since they are dependent on feudalism, cannot and do not exist any longer.
Samurai. They were freaking rich, ate good food and married well. They did good deeds and shit and had plenty of time for self reflection and improvment.

Just throwing this out there, you can literally be a cowboy or a pirate today right now. The only barriers to entry are willingness and the minor physical ability they require. Samurai is unfortunately impossible.

All would actually suck if these are the realistic versions, but Cowboy would suck the least, at least as a violence-averse person (if you're not violence-averse I understand why you'd pick Samurai.)
Movie versions, I'd still go Cowboy. I'd get stir crazy on a boat and I don't like answering to people like Samurai need to.
Well, I have rum and a sword from my weeb phase, so cowboy it is. Time to buy a six shooter.
Samurai, during the heydays of the shogunate.
No thanks. I'm a coward. I just want to sit on my ass all day and browse lemmy
Be would mean now and here? Or the and there (where they existed)?
Your choice :)
I enjoy camping and am a decent shot, so I guess I'd go with cowboy. Plus, lassos look fun!
Can confirm. Lassos are fun.
Well shit, now I want to get a lasso...
In high school I worked on a ranch. On a couple of occasions I got to round up cattle on horseback. My friends were competitive ropers and I tried it a couple of times. I couldn't rope anything.
Honestly, the most fun I've ever had at a job though there's no way I would spend all day on a hot horse with my 30 something body.
From what I like the most? Defebatly pirate, cause I could be another pirate Queen and that sounds dope
From whats the least icky one? Samurai after it became a social status and a symbol of nobility with the occasional murdering
I want to be a samurai. I wanted to be one since I was a kid, and I want to be one even more after having read Hagakure. I even try to live up to a lot of the same ideals Yamamoto Tsunetomo laid out in the book about what it meant to be samurai. It's almost the same idea as medieval chivalry; but more intense and without the religious overtones.
Samurai gets paid by the fedual lord. Easy choice.
Fictionally, a samurai. But for real, I guess cowboy is the most sane option...
Not even considering being a pirate makes me wonder what you were thinking about? Like being in a fictional world is most awesome thing that can happen to you ever. But also for real their life isn't that bad as being scalped alive

A cowboy. I was born in the western US and spent some of my young life on a cattle ranch. It's hard work and at the end of the day, there's a sense of accomplishment.
Not interested in being a pirate, stealing isn't my thing. I don't like the idea of slicing and dicing people, so samurai wouldn't work for me either.
Samurai. Not quite upper-class but a lot better social standing and conditions than the other two.
Cowboy you get to live a normal life in modern times compared to the other two. A modern day pirate is a shitty 3rd world existence and a samurai means being in Japan. Iβll take Cowboy with a loving wife and kids raising cattle and in the evenings getting to stream 4K content with Starlink on my OLED tv eating amazing BBQ anyday.
Pirate, no contest
