Hey, you can "not like this" - that's perfectly fine. You can even find it disgusting. That's exactly the effect Blizzard is going for with every Zerg unit (not sure why anyone would find Banelings "cute", the artwork and actual in-game model is pretty disgusting).


Just don't call this a phobia and try to argue from a standpoint of medical need or some shit.


Banelings are so cute. Round and squishy and they can even roll around. (Round things do actually tend to be considered cute).

Useless poll without a control, because for all we know about 17% of most people might be disgusted by most Zerg units.


I think the question is not whether you are disgusted or not, but if you have an "irrational, uncontrollable anxiety reaction to it". It could be real but I think it's probably less than 0.1% of people, and those should get treatment.

This ^^. That is the problem now a days. People will actually think to them selfs "Hey i don't like holes i guess i might have this". Without looking into anything what so ever. I wouldn't want a spider climbing on my chest or around/on my feet does that mean i have a spider Phobia? Its all in the person's head.

It is actually scientificly established that this particular pattern cause feelings of fear and nausea in a a large amount of people.

Ok most of the video was fine but then it showed what looked like fingertips hollowed out with weird shit inside. That was fucking disgusting. I'm seriously regretting watching that now.

I don't see how someone could not be grossed out by the thought of some bug hollowing out the tips of your fingers and living in there. Seriously, wtf.

But I have no problem (at all) with the swarm host.

I find it interesting. I guess you would have to have seen worse. Like on Tosh.0 i think it was last week it showed a hand missing all the skin on the top and u could see how it worked/moved stuff like that is awesome to me. Like the bones shifting/moving and tendons.

The finger hole thing is just a lamprey's mouth photoshopped.

I laughed so hard when I read the op... I was digusted by the video. Didn't think that would happen at all. I was able to finish it in only two shots, by I don't think that is because of the holes, only because of the insects that are moving inside the hole.

Well ya those are the only things that come to mind for me. Neither too appealing.


I can think of couple of holes which are actually very appealing. Yeah, and one of them sucks, that's right.

This thread is GrandMaster!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

To be quite honest, if somebody made a claim that Creep, and Hatcheries that die pre-mutating is disturbing (the veins and blood arteries spurting out), then do those warrant a change?

I don't know. I think the video was creepy because it was weird, but other than that, I don't really think a phobia justifies an artwork change. That's just too much, to me.

Um. That video was disgusting, but the Swarm Host just doesn't have the vibe of that.
