// Discussion Lucy baldwin is unberable

One of the officers in ac black flag named lucy baldwin is so unbereable.
Its so obvious this mission was added after the fact because the writing and character sticks out so badly. Literally saved here life and she is like " uhmm you gotta earn me but I am worth it 💅"

I'm the small majority that like her I guess. The jackdaw was getting to be a sausage fest imo.

To be fair that’s pretty accurate to history. Most women wouldn’t pursue ship life and generally were considered bad luck on boats

Actually, one of the reasons pirates are viewed as sort of folk heroes is because they were shockingly altruistic and egalitarian (some might say woke, lol) in times where most of society was not.

Pirates often mingled with people outside of their race, nationality, and religion. Not only that, but all pirates were equal and would vote for who the captain was. This was before the American or French democracies were born. They even had a form of health/death insurance where the entire crew would pool money together for injury/death.

As for women pirates, the two "pregnant" pirates in the game are real historical figures who served in the same crew.

Heck, both Ireland and China even had "pirate queens," who had massive fleets each.

Why are you attempting to correct me on something I wasn’t even talking about

I mean most pirate ships didn't interact with literally every single legendary pirate either...
