unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

[ Maybe it's simply a gap in this odd man's knowledge of a foreign language...?! ]

You don't consider that blonde?

Oh ja, I do! W... why? [ .....he- he is so dumb. He barely knows where he is. ]

[ At least the lack of intelligence was announced from the beginning, so he'll graciously be patient! ]

Then rejoice, for it's time to connect all the puzzle pieces. You naturally have flaxen hair, which happens to be a shade of blonde. Therefore... you are blonde.

[ You can also tell from looking at him... he doesn't exactly look like all the lights are on. Usually, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but in this case. ]

I am... okej. But... am I dumb as well? [ He is probably going through all this because someone called him a dumb blonde. ]

Er...

[ Hmm... It feels kind of mean and rude to confirm the man's realization, even if it seems to be quite true! There's an awkward pause. ]

You said so yourself, didn't you? Perhaps it's merely... education differences?

[ He finally 'confesses'. ] My... my crewmates... one of them say 'Swede is such a dumb blonde. He only has air between his ears.'

It hurt my feeling... [ He tears up. ]

[ Oh no... Evidently, that was a hurtful remark indeed, and remembering the memory is just as bad! ]

I-Is that so... What a bully. Stating such a thing is obviously unnecessary, and your crewmate should apologize!

J... ja... I don't think... pirates apologize. [ He wipes his eyes with his sleeve. ]

I try... being smart... [ This IS him being smart. ]

Hold on— PIRATES?!

[ The talk of crewmates, the likely scurvy consequences and poor hygiene... It all makes sense now.

But what kind of pirate is this, even?! ]

...Yes! Become smart, for your own good! At any rate, even pirates ought to learn proper manners!!

Ja... I am a pirate! [ He smiles brightly at him. This is...a pirate of the worst pirate crew. He sails under Stede Bonnet, who is this middle-aged rich fop who randomly became a pirate.

None of them are that great, he's not the only dumb one. ]

...How are you so proud of thaaaat?! I mean, I suppose it must be exciting to sail the seas and such, but what of the criminal activity aspect?

[ Unless the word means something different in Swedish? Or there's more to the situation than meets the eye? ]

... ...my Mama wouldn't approve... [ He can't help but feel guilty. He knows pirates are naughty and, well, criminals. But it is not easy to find work when you can't count to five. Still, he knows he could be swabbing something not a pirate ship. ]
