I have not been the same since Zheng Yi Sao became a character in our flag means death. It means so much to me that pirate-related media is representing her more because I never would have known about her and she is too cool to be forgotten.

For years pop culture either portrayed her as the racist "submissive asian woman" stereotype or ignored her completely. It's infuriating. Now though we have a strong portrayal of her in both doctor who and our flag means death!! Let me tell you a few things about the rightfully named "Pirate queen".

On average, most pirates died 2 years after starting piracy. Edward Teach died after two years, Stede Bonnet died after one and Israel Hands impressively died around 8 years after starting, all executed. Our pirate queen died at 68 after a successful 9 year career. In fact, she only stopped because she was made to surrender and lived the rest of her years in effective retirement.

She inherited her late husbands pirate fleets and commanded around 1,800 ships. Blackbeard is believed to have a maximum of 5- likely because he didn't get along with people well enough to amass enough crews to run them. She had the largest fleet in history.

Zheng Yi Sao was a leader and undoubtedly one of the most successful pirates ever and yet we dare to forget her.

It scares me how parents constantly shame their daughters for potentially having anything to do with sex while simultaneously openly encouraging their sons to have as much sex as possible and celebrating them for it.

Okay but this is what I mean when I say that nobody is going to be liberated until people stop being so possessive over the bodies of trans men and transmasc+ people.

[spacelazarwolf]

te/rfs are literally just incels but with added feminism

Transmasc. Bodies. Don't. Belong. To. You.

Also, like... consider the fact that this is the exact rhetoric used against "beautiful lesbian women". Consider how many assholes complain that they used to find a girl pretty, but ever since she cut her hair or started dressing a little butch or whatever? This same fucking entitlement is nothing new. Just a new coat. Which, like... if it breaks your heart to see someone being true to themselves, then you value your personal aesthetics over other people's well-being, and you're not valid. You can be disappointed all you want that someone is no longer personally attractive to you. But the moment you try to make that their problem, you are just as fucking obnoxious as any man who ever told a woman she'd be prettier if she smiled.
