    Upvoted. Not because I'm into your specific bonkers kink, but because I know what it's like to have a bonkers kink that I want to exclaim to the world, and I salute those with the courage to do so.

    So I haven't read the manga or watched the anime but I watched the live action and was wondering, was Arlong kinda coded black revolutionary in the manga too?

      I'm far enough into the manga to answer this! He came across as more of a "superior race to replace mankind" kinda dude to me, though I didn't read it in my native language

        Definitely more like this.

        Manga/Anime spoiler

        This is addressed more fully during the Fishman Island arc, which I just got done watching. It's one of the weirder arcs, politically speaking. Prior to the arc it has been well established that Fishman are considered inferior beings. During the FI arc there is a group that are pretty much presented as "reverse racists" who draw inspiration from Arlong and "hate humans for no reason" even though there is a clearly established history of humans enslaving Fish/Mer people and treating them as lesser people, including a flashback during the grand reveal that they had no root cause for their hatred of humans.

        Gotcha. Obviously the dude is problematic, but it felt like they were also trying to mix some Malcom X in there and I wasn't familiar enough with the world to know if it was another case of give the bad guy some leftist takes so we can point at them as being bad.

      “Succubus Extra Long” looks like a good analog for Arlong’s nose.

        I had to do a search on their site for a version that is not extra long but it looks like that's the closest we get. Unfortunate.

        Don't know why they branded a couple as such given they say

        Anal beads are for everyone. Whether you’re a man or a woman, have some experience or want to test your sphincter muscles for the first time.

        Either marketing for the particular device or SEO.
