There may be something to this ... we have a definition listed at bleed, under the noun section, describing a sense related to RPG's. It would be odd for there to be a noun sense of bleed but not a related verb sense, so perhaps this could be expanded. That said I wouldnt say it needs to be listed also at bleeder since it would be covered by the figurative sense of definition 1 (someone who bleeds easily). —Soap— 15:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oddly it seems to just be a noun. I was able to find plenty of people writing at great length about the phenomenon of bleed, specifically with respect to people identifying with their role-playing characters, without ever once using it as a verb. So I guess we're pretty much where we need to be with this particular definition. —Soap— 18:20, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
