Nobody said anything about a Merman!

The Little Mermaid (1989) was a game changer for the millennial generation; this doesn’t faze me at all.

I can see why the tail is the preferred costume.
Nothing against fish.

As a former sailor, I found that very informative and slightly arousing.

High fashion in a swimming pool? No thank you. I’d much rather visit these clowns.

Why is the fish part of merfolk rotated 90 degrees to the rest of the body? The tail fin should be perpendicular to its canonical orientation.
You don’t see a centaur where the human part is facing to the side of the horse part. This makes no sense.
