Sure. But I think arguing that being interested in and exposed to things that kinda sorta applies to piracy means that Elizabeth was well qualified to be pirate king is extremely shaky at best.

Note: I never said Will was better equipped to be a pirate. I don't think anyone's said that, but people keep bringing it up as a straw man, I guess.

There's no proof that a crew of skeleton men under a dire curse could have sailed so freely throughout the Caribbean Sea, either, but it seems like only a female wish-fulfillment fantasy is too unrealistic to handle in this franchise, huh?

Well, no. I don't see anyone objecting to Elizabeth because she's female (though you and others are trying very hard to paint it that way) but because there's no particular reason to think she has the solid qualifications for the leadership role she takes on. The movie could have done a better job of selling that, but they didn't. And ironically, they use an actual female pirate in the background but never go into her fascinating and much more credible story.
