Well, even if the OP is not trolling, the poll certainly is.. I simply refuse to believe that 20% of all people on this site has this phobia.. Zerg whining taken to a hole new level imo
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Remove this post already omg.


The Mind is a powerful thing huh if you weren't thinking about it you wouldn't be itchy.


Exactly.

Okay, this is me, planting an idea in your mind. I say: don't think about elephants. What are you thinking about?

Works with itches too.

i was a blizzcon and i had the privilege of playing HotS...You gotta be kidding me...if the sight of a zerg unit disturbs you then the game designers are doing their job. They are the bug race and they should frighten. imo they should be more disgusting looking

Well playing a race of bugs and complaining about them being too much like bugs is pretty strange and whiny to me, sorry

Also, its 17%

Gawd, I have to try so hard to resist the urge to troll. That's probably a symptom of this highly credible phobia that you can freely cite from credible sources such as urban dictionary or wikipedia.

OP, you'd have to post far, far more believable sources than a video featuring camera pans of seemingly high resolution images of stuff with holes in it that DIDNT cite urban dictionary immediately and try to use whether or not people were itchy as a determining factor in identifying a phobia.

I'm willing to believe that 10% of the population is itchy and does not realize it. Until something actually resembling science is shown, I'm unwilling to believe that 10% of the population has an irrational fear of holes.

Some of the images in that video were fucking disgusting man.... especially the fingers with no nails or whatever that thing was i was grossed out. But otherwise i had no problems getting through the video. it is kinda disturbing though when you think about such stuff and then look at the swarm host... most likely not going to be a problem when playing the game

Even if this only impacted 1% of people, Blizzard would change it. In fact, I am sure they are already working on a way to change it.

Its not like there is something intrinsically valuable about the current model. Its a model of something that isn't even real, which gives Blizzard a lot of wiggle room. By the sounds of it, a surprising amount of people experience this, and it makes not only playing the game less comfortable and enjoyable, but VIEWING the game as well for these people. Blizzard makes money from the viewing of SC2 games. Thus, Blizzard has a financial interest in fixing this. I'm surprised, to be honest, that some people don't have the sense to see this.

It's not a phobia, those videos are simply just gross...

and apparently half the people in this thread have never seen a game with zerg. Many zerg buildings have holes / mouth things, and they're not supposed to look pleasant anyways.

it isn't just holes that are gross, it's the aggregation of them.

Are you honestly trying to say that the people in the thread who have said this applies to this..are lying? Did you read the wikipedia article on it? This is a real thing. I don't experience it, but there are obviously quite a few people who do. This is different than something being gross.

The Brood Lord is already based off the same concept. You can see the broodlings popping out of the pustules on its back, just like the pipa toad.

Well played
Sort of on topic - that whole toad that gives birth through its back really isn't that disgusting, at least in a more neutral context. The vid that exal shared makes it more of an awwwwwwww moment

I'm sure he would've read the wikipedia article for it... if it existed :/
There's an urban dictionary entry for it but that's not exactly the most credible source ever given.

Its not the holes its the way the units are spawned - watching them pop out of the back after that weird frog video is making me have the shivers.
