Talk:List of Black Sails characters

Terminology
I don't believe it is appropriate to replace "prostitute" with "sex worker" in this article. Not all sex workers are prostitutes. As for replacing "prostitute" with "full service sex worker" this is being discussed at Talk:Sex work. Please discuss the issue there. Meters (talk) 06:48, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Character table
Since this show is loosely based on both non-fiction and fictional characters, it would be interesting to have a table of the characters and an indicator if they were real, historical people or from fiction (e.g. Treasure Island), or just made up for the show.Jawz101 (talk) 15:48, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Prostitute is a slur
Prostitute is a slur. There is a wikipedia page for sex worker. It is the phrase sex workers themselves use. It is an accurate term without the stigma of the word prostitute. BlissFollower (talk) 06:49, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Your personal opinion is noted; however, there is also a page for prostitution. The second paragraph of the lead for the "sex worker" page also applies here. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 06:52, 4 June 2016 (UTC)


 * It's not a personal opinion. Sex work (and sex worker) are by definition phrases that describe the same thing as prostitution (and prostitute) only without the stigma and slur. That is their definition and function. There is no reason to keep the slur when a better, less stigmatised, word exists. BlissFollower (talk) 07:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep the discussion in one place. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 07:09, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. Again, please discuss this at Talk:Sex work where the discussion has already started. Meters (talk) 07:10, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
