    To be fair, I think people looked at the folks who were into mermaids as outlandish too. “Been around for a long time” doesn’t mean the same thing as “totally accepted socially”.

      But weren’t mermaids seen as dangerous, irresistible sirens also. So the blame was on the evil mermaid, not the person.

      I came to say this. When has being with a mermaid been an acceptable thing. Furries are much more accepted I think than that just in numbers alone.
