I think we all understand what pirates did, historically, and the relevance now. You know it, I know it, the poster knows it. Pirates stole. Also pillage, murder, and rape, but that hardly fits the Disney model nor does that concern us now. The poster is objecting to the cutesy alliterative framing of theft as "haha, porch pirates gotchya!" Porch pirate sounds much more innocuous than "Someone stole from my property."
