    I'm bitter that during the whole "pirates vs. ninjas" Internet meme fad they made it into a West vs. East thing when the biggest Pirate Empire in history was run by a Chinese womanhttps://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1319130991210844162 …

        All our pirate tropes may come from the Caribbean but those pirates are so weaksauce compared to the long and glorious history of piracy in the South China Sea

        The most frustrating thing is they TEASED us by having Ching Shih in Pirates of the Caribbean appear as one of the "Brethren Court" but then she doesn't actually do anything It's just to set up Chow Yun-Fat's character, who's supposed to be her son

        The most successful pirate ever! My absolute favourite part of it all is that she ended up retiring (only pirate to do that, too) after the Qing called it a draw to run a brothel employing a bunch of the sex workers who'd serviced her sailors, and kept most of her wealth :D

        I'm pretty good at Not Getting My Hopes Up About Things, but the idea of Maggie Q playing her in a TV series was pretty exciting ... so OF COURSE the show perished in production limbo.

        Having flashbacks to that time an American writer decided to pitch a show about the Irish pirate empire, but then told people to stop "lecturing" her because she refused to use the queen's real Irish name.
