I have to laugh at the romanticizing of these pirates. They were blood-curdling maniac terrorists. They slaughtered entire ships withut thinking about it, terrorized towns and entire regions, and lived lives that are more akin to gangs of meth addicts cutting loose with automatic weapons than anything even remotely civilized.
Think about having a Disney cartoon about the tender side of the Aurora killer 300 years from now, and you’ll get my drift, matey.
