Please give us more of your SJW pirates knowlegde kapu senpai
I don’t have much specific knowledge rather than just general bits but here’s a few things I picked up:
- Blackbeard was actually a pretty nice Pirate. His most notable ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, was an ex slave vessel which he stole and his crew then became largely made up of freed slaves.
- Ching Shih, the pirate queen of China, had tens of thousands of pirates (Between 40′000 to 80′000 under her command and more or less ruled the seas. She even fought major nations like the British Empire, the Portuguese Empire and the Qing Dynasty. She was never defeated, and was in fact paid to stop.
- Ching Shih also prohibited men from raping any women, even if they were their prisoners, and ordered if anyone broke this rule they were to be executed on the spot.
- Probably obvious but pirates were super gay. Many new pirate recruits were navymen who were already fucking each other behind their previous captain’s backs, but once recruited it didnt have to be a secret anymore. They’d even offer saltwater baptisms and change names so they’d fit in.
- Because cross-dressing was extremely common in women pirates (Women were prohibited from sailing in some cases) it’s hard to tell an exact percentage, but there were a lot of Trans Pirates. It’s even rumoured that Mary Read, well known lover of Anne Bonny, was a trans guy as it’s said she often prefered the role of a young man. (Bonus: I learned this TODAY when I tried to look up some statistics)
- It’s also possible Mary Read, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack were in a polyamourous relationship together, but this doesn’t have much passable evidence. The more likely case was that Anne Bonny was cheating on Calico Jack with Mary Read.
