Despite the bad rep it has, Sea of Thieves is actually a good game. It can be a lot of fun, it’s immersive, and the graphics are gorgeous. I enjoy playing this game with my friends all the time, and nothing can change that.
BUT…. There is something horribly wrong with this game.
You see, when you fall off your faithful vessel or get stranded on an island, you can magically teleport yourself to your ship with the help of the mermaids. The mermaids are essentially your savior, allowing you to find safety and refuge in the seven seas, before becoming devoured by sharks, claimed by skeletons, or drowning.
So when a mermaid comes to your aid, you’d expect something beautiful, like a guardian angel, right? Like in most media, where mermaids are beautiful sirens that sing beautiful notes…
But instead…
… YOU GET HIDEOUS ABOMINATIONS THAT ARE MERMEN!!
Mermen are not only terrible, disgusting, revolting, repulsive, nasty, unholy, repellent, horrid, stomach-turning, vOMIT-INDUCING, DISTASTEFUL ABOMINATIONS THAT VIOLATE MY EYES AT THE SHEER SIGHT OF THEM, THEY ARE ALSO JUST THE WORST!!!
One time, I was being circled by three sharks in the ocean waters, with little health left. I was desperate to get back to my ship. Suddenly, I saw the blue mist. I saw hope! I swam to it, fearing that the sharks would claim me before I could get to safety..
But then… I saw that it was a merman. An ugly, hideous, disgusting merman. It looked at me with its hideous “I'm gonna violate you” smile, and I immediately tURNED MYSELF AROUND, AND SWAM BACK TO THE SHARKS TO LET THEM KILL ME BECAUSE THAT’S HOW UGLY THESE MERMEN ARE!!!
I LITERALLY CHOSE DEATH OVER GOING NEAR A MERMAN!!!
They are so ugly that they cannot be remedied just by a patch or a mod… no, no, no… their very presence in the game makes me feel uncomfortable. When I sleep at night, I see them watching me… like they never left… They must be removed from the game.
For a less ugly world and a better game… take the initiative and remove Mermen from Sea of Thieves! It’s the noble thing to do!
Brought to you by people who desire a better game, and a better world.
[ Just a disclaimer: ]
[ This post is about mermen, not mermaids. This is about the male variant of the creatures, specifically. Mermaids, even though they are also so ugly that they make the devil scream in terror, are at least sometimes bearable to look at. ]
[ However, every male variant of the mermaid is just hideous and creepy, and completely irredeemable. And being ugly is enough to merit them being removed from the game! ]
[ Trust me on that ;) ]
