Admittedly, I'm a huge One Piece fan so...

But I've also studied historical pirates and the media press they've received since the 1700's. There's actually been about as much positive, romanticized fiction about pirates as there's been "the bad guys are pirates" fiction. Robert Louis Stevenson and Errol Flynn have been largely responsible for the positive.

On the one hand, I understand fully how nuanced and gray actual piracy was. For many, the merchant marine and the navy were actually worse. On the other hand, I'm not really interested in the stereotypes perpetuated by a thousand versions of Treasure Island, with the yarrs and the yo hos and the wenches and the corsets and the eyepatches. It goes beyond romanticizing the freedom of pirate life and way into some kind of theme park idea of pirates that I just don't care for.

But give me romanticism, because some fictional pirates and their freedom are A-OK with me.
