ok buddy you want to play this game

if mermaids where real they would have no hair

and their skin tone would not be anything like ours

really they would likely look more like zora from zelda than anything

Also, I like that the clip ended several seconds before the feed, so it's just him frozen looking down. It took me the entire time to figure out if that was the case or if he was just deeply reflecting on how stupid everything sounded coming out of his mouth.

So where was this criticism about the scientific accuracy of the Little Mermaid when she was portrayed as a white red head?

Mermaids would also have slimy/scaly skin in order to live in the ocean.

He's not criticizing it at all. He's making a joke that's poking fun at her depiction overall, to both sides.

But for some reason, people looking to be offended can't be bothered to watch a short clip that's clearly joking.
Maybe it's because I don't know the guy, but it's very, very obvious it's playing off of the current situation because it's a hot topic :/

Seriously... just watch the clip. It's not gonna kill you. It's short. Put aside your crusade for 1:30 minutes and just watch it.

I went in expecting to hate it, but it turned out by watching the clip, the tweet was being highly selective about what he said.

Something tells me a proud white supremacist who hates LGBTQ people and women is not giving a rational take that mocks both sides.

All the good points he made, such as:
"Back when acting was a meritocracy in the 90's..."
And
"Well, a scientifically accurate mermaid"
And
"It's a double standard color blindness we've been applying!"

Jfc dude.

If we want to be scientific, mermaids should be part dolphin.

They're mammals. They have breasts. They should be part aquatic mammal - not part fish.

I don't think they are part fish. People just say that as a joke. (right) I always pictured them as mammals.

Those tits are vestigial. They're essentially like argonians with a bra.

Does that really matter when the rhetoric has a real, tangible effect on viewers?

I don't see the benefit of downplaying neo Nazis and self proclaimed theocratic fascists as "just characters" anyway as if people don't actually hold these beliefs

If you want to talk unscientific, no mermaid would have hair.

At most she might slap a jellyfish on her head to look pretty at an underwater dance, but that's all. :P

West Africa has a mermaid goddess named Mami Wata. Her top half resembles a beautiful black woman with long hair, the bottom is a fish. She has priestesses who worship her and adherents even in North America.

I really like what Guillermo del Toro did with his creature in The Shape of Water, although I suppose the original inspiration is much older.

Should have modeled her after a killer whale. So like get a black woman with vitiligo so she's both black and white. Problem solved, oceanic mammal, authentically colored, we're good.
