every time i see false information about pirates i die a little inside, but at the same time it brings me joy that other people find interest in something i am so passionate about. in the end, as long as people are having fun writing about these high seas robbers, it doesn't matter if everything is historically accurate. why should I ruin their fun with correcting them? (but i still want to)

#hell even i don't include everything about pirates in my book. adding some PIZAZ is not the problem #it's passing off straight up lies as 'facts' that bothers me.#morana's maundering #pirates #piratical history #pirate fiction #scurvy brainrot #pirate history #reminder that most pirates were violent racists and misogynists. they were no different than your average man at the time #hell they were probably even worse #mary read and anne bonny didn't actually do shit #we don't know what blackbeard's real last name was. it could have been Thatch or Teach or Raymond or what have you.#most POC were still treated like second class citizens aboard pirate vessels #Zheng Sao wasn't fucking alive during the golden age of piracy stop saying she's the most successful 'golden age' pirate
