Redditor Asks For Help Making His Fish Less Scary

Reddit's Male Living Space community. A straightforward, welcoming, and mostly constructive lifestyle subreddit for predominantly male Redditors. Whether you're a recently divorced man showing off an overly indulgent bachelor pad or a 16-year-old who's finally made the decision to take down his Hatsune Miku poster, it's a place for everyone.

At first glance, it's a pretty standard place. New record player set-ups, advice requests for ambitious shelving projects, incomprehensibly expensive New York high-rise studios, and so on. But once in a while, a peculiar post comes along. One that staggers and amazes users, demanding their full attention. This situation arose yesterday when one Redditor asked, "How do I make the fish look less scary (removing it is NOT an option)?"

The room went quiet. This man's massive, painted fish statue left users stunned with its threatening aura and a thousand-yard stare. How could this fish be made approachable? The task seemed impossible, and OP would not budge. He'd stolen it from Whole Foods, removal was not an option. The community got to work. Suggestions varied: "Repaint it," "Give it a mustache," "Googly eyes," "Please, just get rid of it."

It took hours to gather feedback, but OP got to work. What we were left with was a wild transformation. Goodbye, intimidating, uncanny ocean creature, hello, less intimidating, uncanny ocean princess. Male Living Space had succeeded. Check out some users' thoughts below!
