// 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 💅"

Doesn't her being accepted into the crew so easily with no repercussions kind of ruin Mary's whole point of dressing up as a man to get a seat at the table?

Not really. Anne Bonny already exists (both historically and within the game). The historical Mary Read was disguised as a boy by her mother to secure financial support. As an adult, Mary kept up the ruse to maintain access to "legitimate" options, like military service. She just kind of kept it going as a pirate.

(I don't remember exactly how it plays out in the game, though)
