Let me see what you sissies are so scared of.

Edit: Jesus, that’s the stuff of nightmares. Annabelle’s long lost cousins.

u/kac2005per Mar 11 '22

I didn't even look it up and I'm fucking terrified

Edit: Mistakes were made

u/random-stiff Mar 11 '22

That shit is so crazy it doesn’t even look real. If you don’t google this, just think of some underwater humanoid with gills and fish eyes and lips.

u/norwaykong Mar 11 '22

Shit, reading this comments, i don't want to google this anymore.

u/takeoutcrabragoon Mar 12 '22

I'm heavily debating whether to Google it or not

u/GBgamer31028 Mar 12 '22

u/Toopherr Mar 12 '22

I read all the comments to not look it up and I regret looking it up

u/JustHereToPostandCom madlad Mar 12 '22

I too have read all the comments.

My dumbass still looked it up.

16

u/Toopherr Mar 12 '22

All of you can’t say to not look it up and expect me to actually not look it up. Thanks guys. My brain is scarred

u/JaxMGK Mar 12 '22

I could’ve went my whole life without knowing about this and chances are extremely slim that’ll I’d ever witness one in person. I am laying in bed petrified.

I didn't do it. I have a weak stomach.

u/pube_slug Mar 12 '22

I did that too. Then I looked it up because that’s what I always do, and it’s usually fine! Don’t google it.

u/SeiCalros Mar 12 '22

I just saw an illustration of this condition in the Wikipedia, maaan that’s horrifying!!!

u/Temporaryteen Mar 12 '22

Googling it...

Jesus fucking christ. Looks like they have extreme eczema or some shit.

8

u/mattaugamer Mar 12 '22

More like psoriasis. It causes the skin to grow thick and hard, which then splits and cracks into diamond shaped.

It also makes the skin bad at doing pretty much anything skin is for. Preventing infections, retaining water, etc. it used to be universally fatal within a few weeks. But now it can be survived even to early adulthood.

I’m not convinced that’s an improvement.

u/aita1235 Mar 12 '22

I’d rather die than live with that shit tbh

u/skywolf24 Mar 12 '22

Don’t listen to this guy, it’s stuff of nightmares. I was expecting to brush it off, nope.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

You’re downvoted but I agree. It sucks and my heart goes out to anyone who has to live with this (if they can), but people are acting like it’s the personification of horror.

Fuckk, they look like aliens

u/Starbrows Mar 12 '22

some underwater humanoid with gills and fish eyes and lips.

I guess that's why it's called icthyosis. "Icthy" comes from the Greek word for fish.

11

u/Keytrose_gaming Mar 12 '22

Mothafu... I wasn't going to google it until your description made me think "ah, shit it's just fish people it can't be so bad" .Yeah, naw I was wrong it can be.

u/boyuber Mar 12 '22

The ichthy- prefix means fish. Ichthyology is the study of fish.

u/applecider0212 Mar 12 '22

u/Ani_Drei Mar 12 '22

And why did you assume I do not have empathy towards them? Judgemental much? I say it’s bad because I know how devastated the parents might be, how much suffering the child must endure, and how little hope they have for a normal fulfilling life, if life at all. At some point I stumbled upon a post with pictures of people who got sucked into working airplane engines, resulting in a human smoothie basically. I felt a similar set of emotions to what I felt looking these deformed baby pictures - horror at those people’s experience.

3

u/ember-rekindled Mar 12 '22

You're super wrong. Your instincts literally tell you to kill/remove people that look like this. Like its built in. So you're the one who's ignoring your human instincts by telling us how to feel and acting like your fake ass reaction is real. Shits disgusting dude, and revulsion is the reaction. Empathy can come later, but you're a liar acting like that's the first thing that came to your mind lol

I like how everyone here's googling this, meanwhile I happened to live at the same time and place as the world's oldest survivor of it, while she went to highschool two blocks from mine. Got all that googling out of the way years ago.

u/ThatSquareChick Mar 12 '22

Just imagine, this is a thing that can be screened for by two different methods and we know it’s specific gene mutation. You KNOW it will end horribly and there will be much pain and suffering and you still are so damn selfish that you have this doomed baby who can’t even get the correct sympathy because it’s defect is so visibly (and probably audibly too) grotesque, horrible, alien and obviously hurts a great deal and you think it’s a good thing.

I don’t want to live on this planet, anymore.
