  • What image does your mind conjure when I say the word “pirate?” Surely a ruthless rapscallion? Or an abominable seafaring sailor? Does he have a beard? A cutlass? A peg leg? Well shame on you. Because the king of all the pirates that have sailed the seven seas was actually a queen.
    You've heard of Blackbeard. You know the exploits of a feral Jack Sparrow. But there's one pirate Hollywood is too craven to bring to life so we’ve done it for you in: Madame Ching, the 17th century's apex girlboss and boymom.

      You know, they _would_ do that, too, wouldn't they? Completely ignore Ching Shin, who was a badass who actually really existed, and instead take Jack Sparrow and turn him into a black woman.
      Or maybe take Blackbeard and turn him into one? Fuck's sake …

      @n0wheregrrl I've been saying this for years, every name brand character.real person will be played by black woman, 1st choice or black man. They've been priming the people for I say decades for this. You complain you just a racist. I don't mind casting for diversity but it's just one race they're pushing

      I absolutely loathe the (what I call) neo-woke movement with all of the race-flipping and shit like that, but Ching Shih really did exist and really was one of the most successful pirates in history, arguably _the_ most successful.
      Unfortunately, we're likelier to get a race-swapped Jack Sparrow than a movie about her.

      Just because a movie/show is about a female pirate does NOT mean it is about THIS female pirate, unless they share the same name! So, is there a movie/show with a character named Ching Shih who is played by a black actress? No? Then, STFU!
