Women can be custodes, now. So who knows? You could be a space marine.With that logic I'm a space marine because I can shoot plasma.

I mean, this is writing we’re talking about, so the causality is inverted: they lack tin because someone wanted them to use iron.Kitsunes use iron because they don't have tin/bronze deposits, so yes they retained iron forging according to Alypia:
I immediately thought of Gor, in which that’s essentially what’s going on.I'm gonna make a guess and say it's The Seven actively sabotaging tech progress to keep people dependent on worship.
Wasn’t that because the Japanese government banned firearms and had an ongoing trade embargo to stop foreigners from coming over to sell them?Samurai and cowboys existed simultaneously for a period of time
this is only tangentially relevant to the conversation but its a fact that makes me happy
i cant wait for the Samurai vs Cowboys vs Aliens movie in the future.Samurai and cowboys existed simultaneously for a period of time

First they bought shitton of firearms and learned how to reproduce the guns domestically. Then they put an embargo on trade with foreigners.Wasn’t that because the Japanese government banned firearms and had an ongoing trade embargo to stop foreigners from coming over to sell them?
This was about the simultaneous existence of both samurai and cowboys. There weren’t cowboys before guns were invented.But that has little to do with thousands of years of history from before guns were invented.

Look, I just want to imagine a scene where a cowboy sees a samurai do his fancy quickdraw sword shtick, then casually says "but have you tried quickdraw.... with a gun?"Well, unlike cowboys, samurai were an actual equivalent of european knights. It was a feudal title.
And actually OG spanish proto-cowboys were there in latin america in 16th century.
But I'm trailing off.
Samurais did modernize, they were wielding muskets for a decade or two. And even had steam battleships.
Before being abolished as a class in 1869.
So a former samurai of meiji restoration period would be rocking a musket alongside his naginata.
Similar, but more like an extension of the adventuring party idea, where the party samurai faces off with another samurai after borrowing the cowboy's six-shooterSomething like this?

What even tychris supposed to be thats the second time I've seen that name dropped. Crazy we need a deep lore reason for no gunpowder, just say there isn't any saltpeter deposits.Kitsunes use iron because they don't have tin/bronze deposits, so yes they retained iron forging according to Alypia:

Also no guns due to L O R E from Tobs, the amazing L O R E M A S T E R himself:

I wonder what asspull they'll make this time.

For real, early Gun powder could be made from plenty of rather dirty and odd mixtures.What even tychris supposed to be thats the second time I've seen that name dropped. Crazy we need a deep lore reason for no gunpowder, just say there isn't any saltpeter deposits.
As historically plausible as your average Hollywood movie.
