Matt must have missed the classic treatise on the variability of pigmentation among anthropomorphic aquatic organisms:

I tried to watch the video. As it turns out, I’m neither dumb enough or drunk enough to watch it without wanting to put my fist through a wall, and I don’t feel like getting that angry would be productive right now. I don’t actively hate very many people. Matt Walsh is definitely one of them.

Agree completely. This stuff is 100% pure organic racist lunacy! Same thing happened with the character Arondir from Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Show is flawless (until) the mixed race elf comes on screen now they hate the show. FFS this stuff is madness.

King Triton didn’t really care who he spawned with.

Leaving aside the position of “scientifically accurate [i.e. racist justification] fantasy fish people,” he’s not even remotely right. You want “scientifically accurate” mermaids? No, you do not:

Uh-oh. Don’t let them see this, then.
Rictor Norton, in My Dear Boy: Gay Love Letters through the Centuries, theorizes that The Little Mermaid was written as a love letter by Hans Christian Andersen to Edvard Collin.[15] This is based on a letter Andersen wrote to Collin, upon hearing of Collin’s engagement to a young woman, around the same time that the Little Mermaid was written. Andersen wrote “I languish for you as for a pretty Calabrian wench… my sentiments for you are those of a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery.”[16] Andersen also sent the original story to Collin.[17] Norton interprets the correspondence as a declaration of Andersen’s homosexual love for Collin, and describes The Little Mermaid as an allegory for Andersen’s life.[18]

I think this “logic” only applies to blind cave mermaids.

“From a scientific perspective, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have someone with darker skin who lives deep in the ocean.”
