* FairForItsDay: A rare villainous example. When Long John Silver and Pew were written as a cripple and a blind man respectively, it was to show that they were threatening, capable, badass pirates in spite of their disabilities. These days though, they're often used as the prime example of the EvilCripple stereotype.

** John Silver's black wife isn't shown or even given a name, and the book sometimes calls her epithets that would be unacceptable to use these days; however, the narrative doesn't consider their marriage to be a bad thing, with Jim imagining at the very end that Silver would eventually reunite with her after his escape. And although we don't learn much about the relationship between Silver and his wife, he trusts her enough to run the Spyglass Inn while he's gone and he tells his fellow pirates that he plans to spend his share of the money to retire with her, with no indication that this statement was one of his lies.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: A minor case; Long John Silver's PirateParrot is usually referred to as male in adaptations, but in the book, Silver claims that she's female. To be fair, it's usually hard to tell the sex of a parrot at a glance so it's possible that Silver is just guessing. (Or he's seen the parrot lay an unfertilized egg, which would be fairly conclusive evidence.) The fact that the parrot has the TomboyishName of [[WeNamedTheMonkeyJack Captain Flint]] only adds to the confusion.
