Dracula’s always been the ultimate baddy

Pirates? The heyday of pirates in the Caribbean was around 1700, during the Spanish Succession Wars, IIRC. (Okay, I went to Wikipedia to be sure and it says the time from 1650 to the 1730s is considered the Golden Age of piracy)

To be sure, piracy still exists in various places in the world even today, e.g. near the Horn of Africa or the Straits of Malacca. But it seems odd to date it to the late 19th century...🤔

Not a woosh. You just said a dumb thing that was irrelevant to what I said.
