      Yeah but isn’t that a bit nonsequitur to the conversation about pirates being against ableism? You can be tolerant even if you don’t have skin in the game, and vice versa, and the stances aren’t particularly humourous to me if that is in fact the joke “haha these 1600s pirates have complex political belief systems.”
