4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel shows two pirates, the first pirate speaks “Captain, our rivals have been calling us names again.” 2. Panel: The pirate continues, “They said we were a bunch of handicaps.” 3. Panel: The captain himself says, “That’s ableism! And we don’t tolerate that kind of talk here”. 4.Panel: The ship in full from afar waving a bunch of flags, such as the pride flag, the pirate skull-and-crossbones, the human rights flag, the trans flag and more.

Is this a boomer comic? Is this mocking inclusivity, or is it just not funny…or both.
War and Peas isn’t very funny normally, so it’s probably that.
Funny night not be the right word but they are pretty enjoyable
Pirates were generally pretty inclusive, progressively so. I don’t think it’s mocking, it’s just silly.
Did they put the flags up in response or is this supposed to imply some kind of irony? I don’t get it.
It’s supposed to show that they’re tolerant pirates
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.”
They may still pillage and murder, but in a non-discriminatory fashion.
“I’m not racist. I hate everyone equally” My brother
I’ve heard of women who were pirate captains, ex-slaves who were pirate captains, gay pirate captains, and pirate captains of pretty much all races…
…so yeah, pirates, surprisingly open work place.
I think they were also known to attack privateers, who were state authorised pirates run by the monarchies and colonial governments of the world.
It has been pointed out that pirates are a symbol of inclusivity. If you imagine a pirate, chances are they have a disability, typically from an occupational injury (a missing eye, hand or leg), and yet they kick ass and strike fear into the establishment.
Sorry, it’s sloppy (please don’t edit out the artist; you can edit out me, though)
Gotchu
Thanks!
Sorry, it’s sloppy
If Sea of Thieves taught me anything, it’s that ain’t no sloop, but a galleon
