My spouse made a comment on Viper that I found funny

Misclicked and posted this when I didn't intend to. Mods, please delete!

And I figured I'd share it here because I hope it gives a few people a good chuckle.

(and because context can matter, the "men" being invoked here refers to the over-generalized marketing stereotype, not the actual flesh-and-blood individuals who frequently deviate from those stereotypes because they're distinct humans living their best lives)

With all the positionals and some twirly AE skills, I viewed it like a Sword Dancer. lol.

I saw it through a quote. And you know what, I laughed my ass off. I'm in full agreement and this is coming from someone maining Viper whose RP partner's (male) character taught hers how to do Dancer.

So in other words, it's.....mancer.

I genuinely did misclick though. Naturally I wrote all the text out, but I was still in the editing process because I wasn't yet satisfied with the post; I was concerned that there might be perspectives (on either side of the proverbial aisle) that might interpret it negatively, and I didn't want to post it until I felt like I had sufficiently mitigated that possibility. But while I was in the process of that editing, I finger-fumbled the Enter key while my cursor was in the Title field, and apparently if you do that it just posts the whole thing. I immediately panicked because I genuinely didn't want to make a post that stirred up anything negative, so after finding out I couldn't delete it myself I just wiped out the text and asked for a deletion. But apparently before my edit, it was seen, and then after the edit a reply containing a quote of the original post was made.

It's certainly possible that I was overthinking it; that's anxiety for you.

It was a cute story - I got a laugh out of it! And you weren't looking to create any issues on the forums or make anything political.

If anything I felt a little like a more masculine melee dancer than flinging fans everywhere lol.

Twirly twirlies, flashy moves, follow the flashy buttons...
Viper being a Dancer for Men checks out.

Carry on.

I really do want an actual Necromancer job though. Think summoner with the dead. Please SE ( ; _ ; )/

Makes sense. I dislike playing them both.

Some of the countries the game services have specific rules and laws about depictions of the dead, so I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. World of Warcraft had a hell of a time getting the Wrath of the Lich King expansion out back in the day because of it. The Chinese version of Lord Marrowgar ended up even creepier than the regular "bone wraith" model.....
