>>11166538You are fun anon. I'm glad we could have this talk.
>they arrest piratesFor acts of piracy
>it's not about realismNo one is talking about realism. "Ocean Battling" is fantasy. It just happens to be a fantasy that fits within the definition of pirate. And fits within the romanticized view we have of pirates.
>pirates are just explorersMy bank robbers in my city layout anon? They didn't steal from a bank. They just wear stripes and drive around in someone else's car they didn't ask for (but isn't stolen). They wear stripes and a mask and like driving cars with fistfuls of cash (and the cash doesn't belong to them and they didn't get permission to hold it). They're bank robbers but not thieves. That would be stealing.
