A collector site known as Worthpoint has removed a piece of controversial Pirates of the Caribbean jewelry in the shape of a noose from its site.

Since the end of May with the push of the Black Lives Matter movement, it seems like more and more companies are starting to be held accountable for actions that would be widely considered racist and insensitive. For example, Twitch recently received heavy backlash following a tone-deaf Black Lives Matter video that centered, confusingly enough, around white content creators. Now Disney is receiving similar backlash for a seemingly insensitive product it sold not this year, but 14 years ago.

ThePirates of the Caribbean franchise is no stranger to controversy these days. Following the accusations of domestic abuse by ex-wife Amber Heard, Disney made the decision to remove Johnny Depp from the upcoming movies. Since then, many fans have speculated whether or not Jack Sparrow will have any reference or involvement with the franchise going forward.

Now thePirates franchise may start to come under fire again for a piece of jewelry Disney sold alongside the release ofPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. TMZ originally pointed out the piece in question: a 14k gold-plated 20-inch long necklace that featured a noose pendant.

It's quite possible that this obviously insensitive piece of jewelry would have gone unnoticed had it not been featured on the collector site Worthpoint. Worthpoint is a site that catalogs price points for different collectibles and allows for collectors to sell through eBay. Worthpoint has since removed the necklace from its site after being contacted by TMZ.

It's still a mystery as to why this necklace was even made by Disney in the first place. It was originally launched as part of a pirate-themed line up of jewelry from Disney Couture featuring things like flintlock pistols, skulls, and cutlasses. Even though there are a couple of instances of main characters in thePirates series facing the gallows, it seems hard to imagine a world where this product was in the planning stage and no one thought of the racist implications behind it.

While there has been no statement about the necklace from Disney, that doesn't mean it isn't discussing the future of thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise. Recently it was announced that Margot Robbie would be taking the lead in upcoming series reboot. Hopefully, Disney will do better about the products it decides to launch alongside these movies than it has in the past.
