Hell if it was about disgusted they should remove the whole freaking zerg race. judging by the polls, maybe it is something Blizzard worth looking into? When you have 15% of the ppl that are repulsed by it, maybe its time to offer an alternative I'm also disgusted by spiders, but seeing it on pc or in a cartoonish graphics does not generate the same chilly / hair up response as I have by looking at those holes. I know plenty of people have the same kind of feelings when I first saw the swarm host preview. Not surprised at all to see a thread about it | ||

I used to be kind of arachnophobic but i fought my fear an kicked it's ass! Now i'm fascinated by spider's nature and how many species of them actually exist  That´s actually how Bruce Wayne became the Spiderman. | ||

If they do that the next group of people with phobia X will demand that Y changes, and.. No, I find it hard to believe that OP is serious. | ||

On topic: A small comparison. Has any game developer ever removed spiders cause of arachnophobia? | ||

Yes I'm serious. As I'm studying psychology I found this really interesting. I remember that as a kid in the era of the Commodore 64, certain graphical bugs in games would cause me to freak out. The particular phobia in this thread was mentioned elsewhere on TL and that's what inspired me to open this thread. It saddens me how many people react with all their "let's remove x from the game since that may relate to a phobia as well"-posts. The reason for this poll was to gauge the percentage of players that actually have trouble with this and the Swarm Host in particular. I'm trying to get some number figure here to see how many people actually would want different artwork for the Swarm Host as they are disturbed by its current appearance. I find the percentages on the high side, even while taking into account that this is just some internet poll. There are quite some responses of people in this thread that are actually relating to this phobia, it is real. Actually, I am not suggesting anything regarding the Swarm Host artwork, I'm merely investigating. But figuring that out requires actually reading the OP and I can obviously not expect that from most people posting in here.. | ||

Of course people aren't going to enjoy watching that video. It's not testing if you can handle this: "The irrational fear of clusters of holes, pods, circles, cracks, and/or other asymmestrical shapes which results in an all-over itchy feeling and a general uneasiness." Its testing whether or not you enjoy seeing things growing inside of other people. Notice how almost every single piece in the "test" was a VIDEO and was of a LIVING THING. What does that have to do with Trypophobia? | ||

Not only does this get my vote, its actually a very much more real complaint than the OP. Still can't tell if OP trolling, but nobody is changing the damn art, besides for artistic reasons. This generation fucking sucks. | ||

People with stupid phobias know that they fear stupid things but they can't help it. Actually having a phobia about a stupid thing is even more humilliating. I'm not creeped out at all by watching the video but I can empathize with people that may fear that sort of stuff. Yeah, everyone knows that your moms told you you're the strongest little boys in the world, now can you stop acting like little shits? The problem is the damn video he put up isn't about this fucking phobia at all. Its about misleading with you fucking PARASITES in an effort to creep you out. Read the post a few above mine, it nailed it perfectly. The entire OP was DESIGNED to skew data and get people to agree with him, and he still BARELY got 10%. | ||
