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.

Then you can blame the OP for these, not some weird sickness.

That's what they were going for. Watch the artwork panel from Blizzcon:



He says in there (for the viper at least) that it's zerg and has that feel that you just don't want to touch it. All just part of the lore buddy.

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.


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.


There is no Wikipedia entry on 'trypophobia'. Perhaps you are referring to the suspect Wikipedia entry on Trypanophobia. Simple fact: 'trypophobia' isn't a recognized phobia, regardless of if there are those who experience it as such.

You're succumbing to the power of suggestion.

How the fuck is this shit still going on?

No, nothing will be done about your 4chan induced phobia. Please move on, you're insulting those who actually have phobias that go beyond itchy skin.

This, this omg. I can't get those shit out of my head now.

Just about the "phobia" idea, here is a Phobia list. Among the phobia, there is the :

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc.

Barophobia- Fear of gravity

Dikephobia- Fear of justice.

So why not fear of holes...

I don't have problems like these, but obviously if people have a real phobia it should be changed. I doubt anyone here is a mental health professional so lets stop with the arm chair psychology...

also lol at it's not on Wikipedia so its not real. You'll find that a lot of very real things and people are not on Wikipedia. I'm honestly surprised by how often I can't find an entry on Wikipedia for things that don't even seem that obscure, especially when I'm studying. I would not expect obscure phobias to make it onto Wikipedia.

I just took a quick look at the phobia list, and the second phobia Acarophobia is not on Wikipedia. It's the fear of itching, so, like I said, don't expect Wikipedia to have everything under the sun.

Wow, I thought that baby toad shooter was amazing. Second most interesting thing I've seen today right after this thread.

Exactly this.


Nothing about the functionality of the unit needs to change in order to accommodate the people who have said this negatively impacts them.

So if the unit design was making fun of, let's say, gay people, we shouldn't change it also because it's only affecting a minority of gamers?

Interesting thought, but I don't think it justifies a unit redesign overhaul.
