EPTSecond, the term "phobia" seems inappropriate in the described context. Disgust and uneasiness is not "phobia", it's disgust and uneasiness. People suffering from phobia feel severe and irrational anxieties far beyond what is described in the OP. It's more than questionable that actually 10% of the TL users get high pulse and suffer from intense fears when they look at these holes, for the majority it's just autosuggestion and more general aversions.

The swarm host is awesome. I love having that visceral part of me prodded. It makes me happy that the blizzard design team could come up with something so fundamentally zergish. It's gross, clever, and my favorite of the new units design wise. XD | ||

For many (though perhaps not all) who have it, it’s probably not even a real phobia, which the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says must interfere “significantly with the person’s normal routine.” Source at the beginning of the video it says "this word is from urban dictionary".. so... | ||

If you are a very serious sufferer from this supposed phobia, then any game involving Zerg probably isn't for you, and it's not something that changing the artwork on unit is going to solve. | ||
