How would people react if suddently we found out that merfolk are real? They're reluctant to communicate for some reason, and normally act aggresivelly; but show signs of intelligence (they appear to have finelly crafted weapons and gear). An underwater civilization is very likely to exists due to some recovered art pieces.
Bonus track: How would history have changed if, let's say, Marco Polo had made first contact with them instead of just going to china?
There will be some people who want to study them since biological and cultural differences are amusing and will be cataloged. The military will rethink naval warfare since merfolk now hold a stupid advantage underwater. Businesses will want to exploit them for a profit somehow, they'll figure it out. Some groups will want to uplift them closer to our tech level, probably the companies who can now drill deeper for oil and the like since there's undersea people who can build and maintain the pipes without expensive diving equipment And then there's everything that comes along with thoughts like including porn, magazines, studies, and people going to the beach to fuck the fishgirls/boys.

Well I for one would never go in the water again
Andrew Thompson
They would be studied, but generally treated like savage pacific islanders, in other words left alone.
Nolan Morales
The Japanese would send science ships to dissect them then sell the left over pieces.
How could such creatures evolve? Scientists would be all over it.

Since the "mermaids and submarines" thread fell off the board before I had time to do it, here's the link to where I've uploaded my random low-quality doodles, and will continue to do so if I draw any more, for the few user who requested I'd post them somewhere: elder-thing.deviantart.com/gallery/61982319/Random-Doodles
Also, sharing whatever mermaid pictures I have saved up.

Fishs have no vagina.

The price of mermaid bone crafts will skyrocket.
Hunter Williams
But they do have mouth and cloaka. Both are decent stand-ins
Caleb Butler
I try and get one of those Russian under water assault rifles to carry when I'm at work (salvage/construction diver). Beyond that no idea it's above my pay grade.
John Morris
Suddenly those underwater "dolphin" rape caves make sense.

They freak the fuck out go look up the fallout from that mermaid mockumentury a few years back.
John Scott
Was it really that bad? I don't remember seeing much of it at the time.
Ecoterrorism increases tremendously. Pics of cute merfolk girls covered with pollutants everywhere.
Gabriel Clark
Our species are destined to clash somehow, as we are polluting their environment. But they cannot fight us efficiently, neither we can, unless we start dropping nukes all around the sea.
I guess they will fuck up some boats if they manage to find a way to do it
Michael Sanders
fpbp
through dick, unity.
Jaxon Hall
Clearly the two must become one. Either we will assimilate them or they will assimilate us.
Andrew Wright
user depth charges and torpedoes.
Tyler Thompson
Its a big fucking ocean though, they'd be able to run and hide pretty well.

>TFW back when this first aired I had a pub night with a tutorial group and some non-student trying to mingle with the group started talking about how mermaids were discovered recently It took all of my being to not lose my shit.
