Honestly an artwork change would be kind to us with weak stomachs.



What IS that?

That is a cavity caused by Human bot flies.
Insanity is repeating the same task and expecting different results.

heh Trypophobia was invented by a sociology student two years ago. the "trypophobia tests" all tell you what symptoms you should exhibit before the test begins (guaranteeing alot of people will exhibit them) and no psychologists recognise it as a disease or phobia.

please stop. :/ no need to change anything based on a sociology experiment.

Shouldn't the OP try to make a zoomed in GIF on the swarm hosts in action and make a poll on the reactions viewers experience off that instead? I really felt that the video was pretty unreliable because it went pretty off tangent on the phobia.

I'm sure every aspect of the zerg race can be fitted into someone's phobia - swarms of insects, spreading goo, dropping goo out of one's ass, vomiting larvae and so on. Do we really need an overhaul of the race to make it more phobia friendly?

If the unit disgusts you that's a pretty good sign zerg is going in the right direction, no offence


yea i completely agree the zerg are supposed to be like this

But they aren't. Maybe everyone posting stuff like this just really disagree with Blizzard's unit designs for zerg so far, or I'm completely missing it, but I can't pinpoint a single zerg unit that's remotely disgusting at the moment. I think most of them are pretty cuddly. Swarm Host isn't cuddly. The Viper is, so HotS isn't all bad. I don't have any phobias, though.

this is completely stupid.
so because i think that a huge pus-filled hole in somebodies back full of flies and maggots is gross, you call me ill and suspect me of having some phobia?

sorry, but the answer is no!
im against a design change, even though i found your videos and pictures unaesthetic and therefore didnt watch them to the end.

edit: i usually feel creepy when i watch videos of people with cut off bodyparts. i start to not feel my legs anymore when somebody is cutting of his own leg. guess i have saw-o-phobia?
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

That is so photoshopped it's not even funny.

To convince yourself, pinch the skin of your back between two fingers.

Can you fell the bones underneath? Do you really think something could make a hole that big in your back and not reach the bones?

Just stupid.

Everything about this thread is stupid. I don't know what part of fake 4chan created phobia people aren't getting.

This shitty self induced "phobia" is still going on? C'mon guys, it doesn't even have a page on wikipedia. Even the fear of being watched by ducks is there lol.

This thread is inducing the phobia and increasing the number of people who want the design re-worked. That is silly.

I'm sure there are way more people afraid of bugs yet the zerg doesn't seem to creep(huehue) anyone out. Shit, I'm terrified of most insects and I play zerg!

I can barely watch that. Ever since I was seven, I guess you can say I've had Trypophobia. It all started with a pop tart that was in the toaster too long, so the goo pushed out through the holes and through the frosting. I threw them in the garbage.

But I'm kind of weird, and nothing in a game, or anything, should be changed because of irrational fears. So, no, this thread need not exist, but thanks for reminding me about my fears.

Like those frogs who carry eggs on their back and skin grows over it, and tadpoles burst from their flesh.

Like when you row a boat and you can see deep little spirals in the water.

Like a topical allergic reaction where the blisters burst or dry out and leave holes.

Like a wound experiencing necrosis.

Oh sweet Jesus, I need therapy.

You've gotta be kidding me. This cannot be for real. What's the point of bringing this up? You really think Blizzard will care as much as to change the artwork?
SOOO MANY BANELINGS!!!!
