Off topic, but since you brought it up - you can actually be a sniper if your glasses correct your vision to 20/20, I think in every branch except the marines.

OP's reasoning was less clear to me than your interpretation was. She would certainly be in a better position than most highborn women of the time to learn about pirates, and it's shown several times that some of the more experienced pirates in the films are former Naval officers and that some are women, so gender and previous association with more law-abiding society doesn't seem to be much of a barrier against becoming involved with pirates. The social barrier exists in her class, certainly, but I don't think the pirates give a fuck.

My glasses do not. :) One eye considerably worse than the other, which makes it difficult. I'm also hampered by the fact that I have rather poor hand eye coordination and zero training with guns. There may indeed be other people like me who are successful snipers, but that doesn't really qualify me given my limitations, even if a bunch of people agreed I should be a sniper.

Sorry you couldn't be a sniper, my dude, but that doesn't mean a girl in a fantasy movie about fictional magical pirates can't be a king.

But I never said she couldn't? Obviously she can, the movie exists. A lot of people seem to be taking issue with the fact that not everyone thinks she's amazing and super qualified in every way to be a pirate. Surely other people are allowed to look at that scenario and think, yeah, that'd be cool but I don't buy it.
