Would Pirates even exist in Remnant then? Their very lives would be filled with misery and negativity, either their own or their victims's. If they were decent Pirates that actually do something, then they would have to endure their own version of Mt. Glenn constantly.

Even if they did have weapons and stuff, Grimm win any battle of attrition. And since they are criminals, going to a decent port can be, well, risky.

Honestly, the idea that there are Pirates in Remnant, feels about as likely, and about as logical, as constant mass suicide in Remnant. They just wouldn't exist, because either a flood of Grimm exterminate them, or they get arrested in the few "safe" places.

Privateers feel more likely, but they are basically Mercenaries, not ruthless killers, pillagers, slavers and rapers.
