4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel shows two pirates, the first pirate speaks “Captain, our rivals have been calling us names again.” 2. Panel: The pirate continues, “They said we were a bunch of handicaps.” 3. Panel: The captain himself says, “That’s ableism! And we don’t tolerate that kind of talk here”. 4.Panel: The ship in full from afar waving a bunch of flags, such as the pride flag, the pirate skull-and-crossbones, the human rights flag, the trans flag and more.
It has been pointed out that pirates are a symbol of inclusivity. If you imagine a pirate, chances are they have a disability, typically from an occupational injury (a missing eye, hand or leg), and yet they kick ass and strike fear into the establishment.
