It's (a little bit) sexist because you're importing a realistic standard about the qualities that go into making up a good pirate king into a completely fantastical setting that has no relation to those qualities, and because you're specifically doing it against female characters and not male characters when it would apply just as easily

Again, only a very little bit

If a male character had Elizabeth's background and lack of experience, he'd be equally unqualified to be pirate king. But that didn't happen in the movie, which is the reason why I don't discuss it.

To be clear, whether or not it's sexist, I would still consider it an unreasonable standard for criticism. To talk about the 'realistic' qualifications and expertise required to be a Pirate King.

The sexism issue comes up when considering whether the same realistic qualifications and expertise are being demanded for things other than Pirate King, I think.
