Rrrrr! We be here to plunder ye booty.

skibbity rizz ley your so skibbity your so fanem tax i just took a shart for the rizzler

There was a "neo golden age" of piracy! Cool

What movie were those scenes from?

This explains a lot….

I'd give him props for the women and for using what he had access to. You never know what he did before he was captain. Maybe he just wasn't cut out to be captain, maybe he wasn't even interested in the big ships, crazy battles. Maybe he just loved the sea

Not disagreeing with you but That's such a long time ago he could have done more than what's stated(or less). Some people could have lied not documented stuff, documents could've been lost. Some things could be true but heard from word of mouth and not written down by a souce. Some things could've gotten lost or altered from story to story.

I believe buggery was much more common & accepted among seamen, than the narrator suggests, due to the famous quote of Admiral Lord Nelson, "Life in the Royal Navy consists of equal portions, of rum, sodomy, and the lash."

Winston Churchill once said, it was impossible to get a conviction for sodomy in an English court, because, "Half the jurors believe the act to be physically impossible, and the other half are doing it."

14:33 "...[A]nd the choir boys, of course." Ah, there's "Nothing new, under the Sun," as the saying goes!

Q: WHY couldn't Oscar Wilde have written the "Canterbury Tales"? A: Because, everybody KNOWS, that, "BUGGERS can't be CHAUCERS!"

They were pirates, they did whatever they wanted and could get away with.

From 17:33 to 19:26 is a topic that Black Lives Matter need some educating on.

Would you be open to reviewing Netflix's "Lost Pirate Kingdom" docu-series and judging its historical accuracy?

People desperately want to project current year values and ideals onto the pirates of the golden age. People like the idea of pirates and they love the idea that they were just like them in their beliefs. The fact is that they were a product of their time and their beliefs and values were those that people of that time held. They weren’t bastions of 21st century morality before it was cool, they were simply outlaws doing outlaw things that they had outlaw justifications for doing.

AXEL?!

What would they douche with?

I was going to say i thought pirates were one of the parts of history where the homosexuality is played up, not down.

Sounds like me, fascinated with all subjects, but with a love of action and adventure. Oddly, I am also mostly a loner despite having lots of friends who always chide me being never coming by or answering my phone. I am also an animal lover. He’d have been a good travel companion for me. He’d keep to himself, but once in a while we could chat.

In this “movie,” they’re basing Tavor’s speech and love of gold on modern Armenians in the LA area. I live here and have many Armenian friends. They’re also stereotyped as loving to show off gold, black Mercedes and being shady businessmen.

The major empires wrangling over Eastern Anatolia and the Northern Levant (from the Byzantines, Ottomans and Crusaders to the Umayyads, Rashiduns, Abbasids) relied on forcing or bribing Armenia to protect their flank or aid in their conquests.

_You make videos about pirates, right?_ _Yehsss._ 🗣️💨

Is this where the term butt 🏴‍☠️ came from? Edit: You literally addressed that within 15 seconds of the start. And this is an unworthy post for how intelligent your analysis is.

Ew. Ya lost me. Raping cabin boys isn’t gay. It’s rape. Perverts

I have been a man servant and I've also had man's servants. When is a simple interesting learning experience about life in general the other is simply wonderful to have in hindsight.

No mention of bagpiping. boo.

What a coincidence, im drinking his brand right now.

Big juicy meat for all the sea men.

Nice video as always, pretty original and interesting topic, on a very smaller note as a french i just wanted to say that I appreciate the efforts in the french prononciation and I perfectly understand your english but I'm allowing myself to clarify a little bit the way of spelling "bougre", it's perfeclty fine except for the end, the "e" is'nt prononced "é" or english "a" but is kind of like the american way of saying "u" in "hum" if that can help.

Did gay pirates become a trope nowadays? Looks like I'm way behind the current zeitgeist lol. An interesting topic nevertheless

Really nice video, sometimes people can speculate and theorize reading so deep into possible evidence for something that they can miss a whole plethora of information and what it might have to offer to the topic at hand. As always you do a great job sharing a lot of information and using it to form a little reasonable speculation which is why I love your videos. 👍

*Sigh* Why is this an hour video when it could be just as profitably reduced to ONE word- “Sometimes”

Very informative thank you!!

It’s over an hour long. . .

Barry Richard Burg was merely projecting about his Barry Richard Bung.

😂👍☠⛵

That rainbow flag has nothing to do with gay pirates. It was originally the sign God gave to Noah, signifying his love for mankind. It was adopted by Zionist groups as a flag to fly over conquered lands and peoples to mock God. Examples of its use in the modern day include the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and the LGBTQIA+ movement.

I feel like showing slavery among pirates in pirate media might honestly be beneficial for storytelling even beyond historical accuracy; if you use pirates as villains then owning slaves would help show how evil they are, and if you use one as a hero maybe you could have your protagonist be an exception to the norm or give them a character arc of being apathetic or pro-slavery and becoming anti slavery over time, making your protagonist more sympathetic to a modern audience (even if it is unrealistic).

This is the content we need !! Thank you

Truly exemplary work!

Lmfao 😂 the character of captain jack sparrow never struck me as “gay” or “homosexual”

It wasn't mentioned in the video, but the Walloon is a personal favorite of mine. They were lighter basket hilted swords, like the broadsword, with either single or double edged blades depending on the maker. They also had thumb rings and only a back pointing crossguard, with the front of the hand guarded by a pierced shell guard and a thick knuckle bow. One can think of them as a middle ground between the broadsword's defensive virtues and the maneuverability of a well balanced cutlass.

They were just prison gay

funny how you put men on a ship, remove all women, men become gay, sail to port, now all the men are having sex with women like normal.

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate 🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️

Hey ! If I may add an ingredient to your already very honourable pronounciation of french words : the final e is mute, unless it's a é. "Bougre" can be read "bougr". Generally speaking, the last letter of a word is mute, or can at most transform the pronounciation of the second-to-last. These letters generally an artifact from the latin or germanic roots of the word. For instance, the sentence "j'ai raté" ("I missed") would have the final e pronounced exactly as you did with "bougre" in the video. (wich would read "bougré", which is a form I don't think it existed.) Whereas in "je rate" ("I miss", or "I'm missing") "rate" would be pronounced almost exactly like the english "rat". (The final t sounds.) (And of course, "rat" in french (the classic rodent) would be pronounced "ra" like the egyptian god. Unless you name him Rê, or Ré but I'm out of my depth here.) You've already got it totally accurate for Olivier Levasseur ("Olivier" = "olivié" and "Levasseur" with the final r pronounced. Yeah the "r" is an exception to the generality above. Yeah I know my language is not intended to be read at all. Only makes me appreciate your efforts even more. It would take me a big time to get as fluent in Swedish as you are in French) (And of course I'm speaking about modern french. If you have any specific information about it being different in old french, I'm eager to learn :p )

Butt pirates are first recorded in the golden years of pirates. Keep researching.

As we say here in Australia, “ Well, I’ll be bugged!”

😂🤡😂🤡🤦🏽‍♂️

That's just a theory. A gay theory. Lol. I see what you did there. I'm telling Matt Pat!
