Yeah lol, but they sold out to an animation studio early after it gained interest and changed all the VAs, now it's entirely sold out to Amazog. It's coming to Prime in like January or February.

Course they did, you see those youtube numbers? Those frickers unironically pump out merch like a motherfricker. There's a video for new merch inbetween every episode of that other show they make now.
Same, I saw a bit of that one anime with the guy who had to live with the monster girls and the spider was the hottest one. I have crazy arachnophobia. One time a spider was on my son's head though and I didn't hesitate to brush that little b***h off of him. After it was on the ground my hand was tingly and I had to shake it out

Sad!
Trauma, fear, disgust, and sexual arousal are close in the brain. It's supposedly a biological advantage where someone about to die will try to reproduce before the end.

in a highly anxious state, a person's blood flow changes to that similar to a sexually stimulating state.
look up anxiety orgasms.
not really "scared" of spiders, i just don't typically want one crawling on me for the same reason i don't want any bug on me that i didn't expressly want to do so. However, I think less people would be afraid of spiders if they had a more "normal" mouth structure, like vertically opening mouth like your typical mammal/reptile/fish/bird. if spiders had mouths like , im pretty sure less people would be afraid of them.
>Except homophobes are transphobes are routinely caught enjoying trans porn.
Hey thats me
but only the hot ones that still have dicks the ugly ones that get the chop can die
so by your own logic, hating homophobes and "transphobes" (good lord that word is so fricking stupid. you can't just mash a new word and a latin root together like that) is actually hating homosexuals and people who accept trannies the most? so it's based?
Neither of those are legitimate phobias, that's why.
That is literally the difference that meme fails to understand. No one is sitting around worried a gaggle of trooners are going to bust in and goon all over their living room. It's not actually a phobia, just a disgust response to a disgusting thing which results in internal taboo and taboo is a large reason things become fetishes.
You do have to be able to tell the difference though. People who bring shit up when uncalled for are the people you're talking about, not people are a school board meeting complaining about their kids being brainwashed when they're being brainwashed.
It's more complex than that, taboos are of lesser import here, there is fear, rather than disgust alone. That fear is warranted, because it pertains to instinctual comprehension of fundamental wrongness, and revulsion to what is a precipice of hedonistic descent.
The taboo bit was specifically aimed at the people they're talking about, not at everyone who criticizes things. The "phobic" people they're talking about are 100% making it a taboo in their own mind and causing it to be a fetish for themselves.
The rest of what you've said is basically just rewriting what I said to include fear where there isn't any actual fear for most people.
Knowing what's going on and being annoyed by it and pushing back isn't an act of fear.
Not quite a rewrite, fear is the sense of threat, anything can be a threat, abstract corruption of humanity included, which is what happens here.
Annoyance may vary, as is capacity to recognize what's wrong truly, but the issue is ostensibly always the same, whether it's noticed by some select person or not.
That said, their complaints about phobia are indeed ironic in that way, including inability to assess what they turned into.
That's because that wrongness is part-compromised and part misplaced.
Not all things past that point are equally antithetical to humanity, whereas pure sexual degeneracy as a whole is a dangerous road, and anti-incest outlooks are based in partial distaste for one's closest relatives, i.e. inability to actually get close to them, plus actual religious taboo.
The only issues with incest are issues with recessive genes, which are solvable by ethical selection, and eventually by paradigm shift through science or non-human/altered/expanded human existence, and soul issues if any apply, which too, are solvable.
If anti-incest has a legitimate thing of import in large timeframes related to spiritual matters and destiny, religious taboo may have been a deliberate psy-op to lock out entire genetic lines and prevent some loved ones from coming together.

Uh huh. So if you're not into incest you ackshually secretly not close enough with your siblings. Literally the same as "every homophobe is secretly gay". >which are solvable by ethical selection, and eventually by paradigm shift through science or non-human/altered/expanded human existence
This is fiction, through which every single issue ever is potentially solvable. >religious taboo may have been a deliberate psy-op to lock out entire genetic lines and prevent some loved ones from coming together.

One may like incest but not like one's own people, that's all, that fiction is what runs your reality, biology is mutable, there are only a handful of unsolvable issues though you likely won't appreciate the perspective and Habsburgs, much like most others incest runners did not bother with allowing only healthy people to breed. Political incest like that concerned itself with power more than ensuring progeny is healthy.

More on to the point, the point about disliking one's own people was obviously in the context of people who are into incest.
Not being into it at all doesn't necessarily imply revulsion or any true intellectual or emotional care towards it, so if some people don't even bother with it, it means exactly that and not else, sex is simply sex, stigmas are simply stigmas, and mechanical issues are mechanical issues.
This is just the conflation of two different meanings of phobia. One being irrational fear, and the other being irrational hatred. You cannot infer something from one meaning of the word and apply it to another.

This is unironically true. I used to be very transphobic (I mean, I kinda still am) but now I just want tittyfrick a cute troony

When you realize they just have snibbity snabs and not fangs they suddenly become less scary. I mean I imagine it would hurt to get snabbed by them but it's not as horrific as getting stabbed by venomous fangs.
You don't understand, the psychological effect is crazy. Like yeah you can just smash it, but even the thought of it being on you touching it it's gooey guts getting everywhere. Holy shit my skin is crawling just typing it. But I've never needed a special arachnophobia mode in a game, they aren't real
I don't know that to tell you. They aren't scary in video games, but if I'm sitting here imagining a spider the size of my hand being smashed under my fist, it makes me feel gross. The closest to the affect in a game was probably the large spider hands in Elden ring
>they die pretty easy.
The big ones do, yeah. But they also don't attack people unless harassed.
It's the little ones, the recluses you need to worry about. Not even shoes work. They just don't fricking die unless you use a brick and they're on hard floor.
For me, it’s getting a spray bottle, turning the nozzle all the way so the stream is a concentrated blast of water and spraying them nonstop until it stuns them and they curl up, and then crushing them with the flattest thing I can find. I’m genuinely terrified of spiders, but the fear of hitting one and it getting away scares me even more. So far my trick is fool proof.
I have never heard of this. As far as I know there are two arthropods that are impossible to kill easily by stomping them with a boot. Ticks and Velvet Ant.

I honestly don't see his you can have an issue with the small spiders. They're adorable, completely harmless, and keep your house free if pests.
I always let the spiders chill in my house whenever I see one, and even go out of my way to move them away from dangerous areas for them like faucets or sinks.
I let small spiders go, but Brown Recluses are on my kill on sight list. Just because it's way too dangerous to let them go. Had this Triangulate Cobweb Spider in my bathroom once. She had a dozen gnats in the web at one point. Was going to move her, but saw that they also hunt other spiders so I let her stay there. Haven't seen her in a while, don't know where she went.
I once joined a discord server and one of the mods said she had arachnophobia, honestly they are a bunch of drama queens. >DOn'T PoST SpIDeR PiCs, SoME PeOPle HerE HaVe arAcHNopHobIa.
Stupid fricking queer.
I hate spiders in real life and if I fail to catch one in my room and it hides somewhere I won't be sleeping that night.
I 'm 100% unbothered by them in games though.
Must be the same mentally ill who can't tell the difference between a drawing and reality.
I used to be like that and I don't know why but I just kinda got over it. They still gross me out and I flinch like a pussy if I suddenly notice one really close to me but if I see one in the corner of my room I just don't even care anymore.
I don't think I've ever seen a LN/manga/anime jump the shark as hard as this one. Slime is a close contender though. The first arc in the dungeon was perfection, but then it went into generic demon lord shit. It was there in the LN early on, sure, but my first exposure and read was the manga. Then for whatever reason everyone becomes a god and start throwing galaxies at eachother.

No, for the same reason as Spider. Slime starts off as this cool city building manga about weak monsters banding together then drops everything for Demon Lord politics. The LN gets even worse, they reach such a moronicly high power level it feels like there is never any stakes.
all fun and games until they jump in your eyeball and eat the flash to make a crater for their thousands of spiderlets to hatch in your skull and eat your fricking brain? you dont have this problem with ants who actually clean up tasty crumbs and other delectable treats you leave behind. kill all spider

These frickers are indeed cute and with the way the move you can tell they are intelligent enough to not make a permanent nest inside your ear canal.
They have an actual sense of self preservation.
Only intelligent ones with big frontal eyes like this guy, stupid spiders with no intelligence and tiny sets of eyes with barely any front row are disgusting and deserve the rope, I'm a spider racist. Why are jumping bro spiders so cool? Because you know they won't do something moronic stupid and endanger itself or you,
>spiders are cute >his only proof for this is posting the only spider in existence that can be called cute
Cherrypicking isn't an argument. Spiders as a whole are disgusting; you can't just take the exception to that rule and apply it to all of the others.
>it can't injure me so it's cute
What kind if backwards fricking logic is that? I know house spiders can't hurt me (well they can, but their bites aren't dangerous or deadly), but that doesn't make them cute all of a sudden; they're still creepy and gross looking. Whip spiders kind of look cool, so i guess they're not ALL bad, but calling them "cute" is laughable.
This is such a moronic and pedantic response that I seriously hate your guts. Obviously I know there are different kinds of jumping spiders, just like there are different kinds of daddy long legs; they can still be fricking grouped together when talking about them. You're just being pedantic for the sake of it.
I thought it was a joke the first time I heard it. Now I boycott any game that officially adds it on principle it's a subtle tell the game is ideologically pozzed.
There is one good thing about living in a basement for almost my entire life, after killing armies of spiders, millipedes, ear wigs, and any other little creature that came crawling out of the walls that fear of all that shit goes away real quick. My spider kill count is up there

>this is just thinning out the ones dumb enough to get seen
This actually works. There's definitely spiders in my apartment but after killing every one I see they've stopped coming out into the open. I just see a new web once in awhile.
>In short, the prey constituted 84% of the predator’s trunk length, 112% of its body width, and 114% of the snake’s body weight.
That might've had something to do with it. Fat motherfricker snake tries to eat something larger than itself.
i actually find the hair and the damage to the wall more disgusting than the spiders. homie do you own a vacuum cleaner perchance? maybe some paint? fricking vile.
Not many arthopods take care of their offspring after the eggs hatch. Spiders, Scorpions and Centipedes. Excluding eusocial insects such as ants, bees and termites for obvious reasons. Centipedes are actually good mothers.
I try to save or help spiders whenever I can. Spiders are the eyes of the devil and while I don’t know if I’m going to heaven or not, at least I know that if I wind up in hell I’ll have someone looking out for me.
that's an interesting question because various mechanisms in athropods only really work for small scales
their oxygen comes in passively through their skin, which is their overall limiter
their speed is fast, but hard to sustain for long periods, they are like a series of valves that can be opened or closed to harness the power of the hydraulic motor that is their heart
>tfw arachnophobic >tfw there are games that i've stopped playing, or chosen not to play, because of spiders >tfw the world bends to my will
that said i'm still never gonna play your shitty games about spiders. that EGS open-world survival crafting game where you're the size of ant looks like the worst game i'd ever play.
I don't care about spiders on vidya, but if I saw that image in person I wouldn't ever be able to get near that place unless I empty several cans of insecticide in every room.
Anyone demanding a special 'no spiders' mode is a fricking pushy. However, I think a fear of spiders is natural. Being wary of venomous animals just makes sense. The problem is anyone getting 'triggered. That shouldn't be coddled. It's OK to be scared, it's part of life. Pretending the thing you're scared of doesn't exist is just stupid, though.
I used to have this mentality that I have to obsessively neurotically confront everything that makes me uncomfortable to "beat" it. This worked out well enough for me with specific irrational fears, but I realized it wasn't a healthy mentality when the thing that made me uncomfortable was the actions of actual real people I couldn't just "beat" and make them shut up forever, which brought me a lot of anguish.
>Pretending the thing you're scared of doesn't exist is just stupid, though.
It's normal. Obsessively reminding yourself of something you hate 24/7 to make yourself suffer out of nothing but low self-esteem is what's abnormal.
I love/hate these things. They're adorable, but I hate how small and fragile they are. Would be cool if it was the size of a small dog, but then would probably be the most dangerous creature on the planet.
>Would be cool if it was the size of a small dog, but then would probably be the most dangerous creature on the planet.
Eh not sure, they'd not be so numerous and so fast, and would get domesticated by the most powerful weapon a human can use on one - petting
Jumping spiders make good pets
They're smart enough to not be boring but not so smart that they create a lot of responsibility like parrots and the like.
Why? Shapeshifting is the most common ability possessed by supernatural creatures in the setting, whether Beornlings, Maya, Valar, Ishtar, or vampires.
I've forgotten a lot about LoTR
Wasn't Shelob, just some giant spider, and the only thing special was that she was a giant spider?
Why'd they make her some magical demigod with transformation magic?
Shelob was "an evil thing in spider-form". She was the last child of Ungoliant, itself an evil spirit that had the form of a spider. It is never hinted that Shelob or Ungoliant had the ability to take any other shapes than that of a spider, and since Shelob herself spawned the many giant spiders of Middle-Earth, who also show no ability to shape shift, presumably the writers had to dig deep in their own buttholes to come up with it.
>grandma was afraid of spiders >got herself a small garden to grow plants and vegetables >eventually got over her phobia cause there were so many spiders outside - according to her own words she just couldn't give a shit anymore at some point and just learned to live with them
I genuinely don't understand how arachnophobes have an issue with video game spiders. I'm deathly afraid of sharks and bees, but I've never been spooked by them in video games or videos.
I dunno for me it's really specific. It's only spindly spiders, and only if they look mostly realistic. Like in Bloodborne the spiders that cover Rom give me absolutely no reaction, but the huge, fat-ass spindly ones in the Nightmare of Mensis/dungeons are creepy as hell.
>Like in Bloodborne the spiders that cover Rom give me absolutely no reaction, but the huge, fat-ass spindly ones in the Nightmare of Mensis/dungeons are creepy as hell.
I feel the exact same way. I dread that one spider room and try my best to just run through as fast as possible it every time. There's probably some items in there but I'll never know what they are.
The closest I can get to understanding is one of the three witches in TW3 with the beehive eye. I’m not pussy enough to install a mod but I have straight up held my hand over the screen not to look at it. FRICK whoever made that. Worst shit I’ve ever seen.
I avoided saying trypophobia intentionally since it’s not a real phobia but that shit is still nasty as frick to look at.
But good job being extra moronic.
A spider bit me when I was a kid, so now I shot myself when I see a spider nearby. Before that, I couldn't easily hold all kinds of spiders except for long-legged scum. They are horrifying and often appear in my nightmares.
Partly because other kids I knew would often catch them, rip all their legs out, and use these electric things from gas lighters to make their disembodied legs twitch.
>unpredictable apex predator with lightning speed and no behavioral predictors and powerful venom to the point a quarter sized creature can kill and adult male ez >bro why would you be afraid of spiders?
I'm not afraid of spiders to the point where I can't function but it is as possibly a litmus test for intelligence. if you aren't relatively uncomfortable around spiders, you're literally 60 IQ Nigerian
why is everyone such a pussy ass b***h
just pick it up and throw its ass outside its more afraid of your ugly 300 lb mtn dew hercules titan looking ass than you are of it
spiders LITERALLY fighting for their lives when they encounter you
I never kill those fluffy bastards, they are hunting all the flies and mosquitos. I also don't live in kangaroo land so I have nothing to worry about. I just let them walk onto my hand and let them out outside.
They don't bother me because I'm afraid they'll hurt me, they bother me because they look fricking digusting and they move so unpredictably. That's why it's called a phobia, it's an irrational fear.
Why is it ONLY spiders with normies? There are plenty of gross insects in the world. Insects are gross and alien by nature, even B-movie chads recognized it back in the day. But somehow most people seem to only be afraid of spiders who aren't even insects. This is so weird. If you think spiders are gross, shouldn't you think many insects, who possess similar physical traits, should be gross as well? Or is it just dumb monke "PREDATOR BAD" instinct?

Caught one the other day, glad it went straight for a dead end instead of crawling off the counter
Of all insects and arthopods, it is in my humble opinion ants and termites are the most horrifying. Not for appearance, but how they simply function. They are the closest think to a sci-fi hive mind, along with the other eusocial insects. Some are so hyper specialized that they cannot feed themselves, they only exist as living weapons. Some termites have ACID CANNONS MOUNTED ON THEIR HEADS. Army ant are tides of death that grab on to eachother to form bridges, and can supposedly strip a horse of flesh.
>Some termites have ACID CANNONS MOUNTED ON THEIR HEADS. Army ant are tides of death that grab on to eachother to form bridges, and can supposedly strip a horse of flesh.
>be minding your own business >suddenly get touched by an ant >next thing you know you're swarmed by thousands of his brothers and torn limb from limb
I'd never want that life.
People aren't really afraid of other insects like praying mantises, because they can't really do much to humans.
Spiders on the other hand are big, fast, and hairy and plenty of then will fricking kill you if they bite you.
>plenty of then will fricking kill you if they bite you
That's why we have species identification. No reason to be afraid of the ones we know are harmless.
are they pack creatures like wolves? How are they supposed to split a fly? or they must have strong codes of territory and not get too close to another spiders prey in their area
still seems like a very moronic settlement, the ones in the middle will likely never eat and die of starvation
orb weavers (and most stationary web spiders) are the worst kind of spider. they make webs in high foot-traffic areas, they are lazy and do no work for their food, etc... basically the Black folk of spiders.
>they are lazy and do no work for their food
Not quite true. If an orb weaver isn't completely starving for food, they're known to tear down their web before dawn and rebuild it at night, and may repeat this every day until a male comes along to wipe off his sperm (and potentially provide a safety meal).
Spiders are nothing. Hornets and Wasps? They have the numbers and flying advantage and love to sting you because they're buttholes.
I couldn't play the bee levels in Donkey Kong Country 2 as a kid. Apparently a lot of people thought the bees looked scary so they changed them in DKC3 to look really stupid.
/co/gay here; literally the only time Spider-Man has ever had a realistic looking spider in it was the first Sam Reimi movie. People are genuinely too scared to look at spiders long enough to learn how to draw them photo-realistically. The last time I can remember one looking realistic in a video game was the death scene in Sim-Ant. The rest of the time they look like picrel.
I've been trying to find this comic for years. Thank you. All I remembered was that she had a surrogate egg sac and there was a camera focus change in a comic, which was wild.

These people are unfit to survive. Do they nver go outside? How the frick are arthopods scary? Most of them are cute.
Knew an autistic kid in school kinda like that >was afraid of every type of bug >flies, moths, fruit flies, ants >doesn't matter if they're harmless, he would immediately freak out
For most, it’s the thought of it crawling on you or touching you. These people are usually deeply traumatized and the sensation of an insect crawling on you can trigger a ptsd episode
I'm generally not bothered by spiders if they're in my direct line of sight but if I see them moving in my peripheral vision I get sent immediately into a blind 'throw things and run into walls' panic.
That's just basic caveman brain
Your ancestors survived to reproduce because of that instinct to flail wildly when you see something unexpected in your peripheral vision
It just occurred to me that it would be funny if what I dislike had a setting.
I don't like being by water at night explicitly. I'm okay by water in the day time and I don't care about night normally but for some reason the two combined cause an internal freak out in real life and games.
Imagine a game setting that causes all the water to just dry up between 4 - 9PM and 4 - 9 AM depending upon the time of year in the game.
What a specific phobia — what happened to cause it? Seems like one of those ones that had to have a cause.
E.g. I get freaked out by tunnels if they’re too narrow because I got stuck upside down in a skinny picrel as a kid

Sounds more like a lose lose situation than anything
No way, these guys hunt other spiders? They're that predatory/territorial?
Mind you, these spiders are everywhere in my room too but I haven't killed them because I'm a lazy frick
Yea, I watched one mess a house spider up that got a little close to its web. Was really weird seeing this lanky gangly little thing absolutely wreck a thicc house spider, it didn't even take long
You can just spray diluted bifenthrin around the perimeter of your house and stop spiders from coming in at all. I do it once a year and I have seen maybe 4 spiders inside since I started doing it. This is in Australia, too.
>naturally aggressive unlike other spiders >large and moves quickly >can be found in unusual places >its bite gives you a boner then kills you

I took some sleeping meds that gave me a 12 hour boner once. Shit was really painful and sucked cause I had to walk to a doctor with a pitched tent then check into a hospital and have a nurse drain a liter of blood from my dick and then inject some saline solution into it.

The whole time I lived there this sort of shit would happen. They're such buttholes.
I used to kill all spiders (only exception was jumping) I find, even cellar spiders, until one day one of them decided to make a web in a corner of my room and found a pile of dead Argentine ants below it. After that, never killed them again.
I think spiders are icky, so I kill them on sight, but I've never understood the whole "arachnophobia" thing in video games. Real spiders are icky, video game spiders aren't real. Same thiing with that "fear of holes" tripophobia or whatever. It's not a fear, the images of holes on peoples' skin just look icky.
I don't want to play that webm. It's a guy opening a fricking spider eggsack, isn't it? I tried squashing one before with a shoe to kill it, but regardless it just broke open and hundreds of spiders went everywhere. It's fricking nightmare fuel.
It's fricking weird to me. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but I'm still probably arachnophobic, but spiders in games have never bothered me. They're no different than a lion or an evil robot. The only exception was the spiders in Dark Souls II which were just creepy, but even then I didn't have trouble facing them.
Most of them aren't even arachnophobic. Most people who claim to have a phobia don't. What they instead have is a desire to fit in with all the other special snowflake victims without any actual event or disability that makes them a victim. You know it's true because their "phobia" is mild discomfort at worst. An actual arahnophobe, for example, would not even be able to launch a game with an arachnophobia mode/level unless they had been doing months of desensitiziation therapy. A thalassophobe would not even be able to watch a trailer of an ocean game.
Mild discomfort is not a phobia, and you're not a special snowflake with a condition. Get over yourselves.
That's not how phobias work. Every person with a phobia has a maximum comfort level with that phobia. On this chart I'd be fine with spiders up until it crawls on my shoe. Beyond that is where my phobia responses start.
This is the basis of how desensitization therapy works. You find the point where the phobia responses start, then work from there introducing the next level until they're comfortable.
I accidentally went through that with these dudes since they like coming in through the gaps in the flyscreen in my kitchen. Its gotten to the point where I wait for them to stop panicking trying to get back out and just pick them up and take them outside.
Despite everything shitty about this country this is why I love Canada. No giant spiders, no giant centipedes, barely any venemous snakes, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no earthquakes.

I just realised I had that "spider slowly descends onto your keyboard in the middle of the night" moment last night, I didn't even think of all the anons' traumaposting. It was like a friendly visit.

The yellow one (Camel spider) is an extremely aggressive and fast menace, that some soldiers from the Irak war will have more PTSD from than the actual combat.

Frick those things, seriously. Had fricking nightmares in Iraq whenever I had to clean in shady spots. >these frickers jump at you and hiss like angry cats >bites are quite painful >if they bite you, you have to wash the wound with alcohol and take an antibiotic >otherwise it will 100% get infected because these things eat nasty shit >can crawl on you in your sleep and bite you if you disturb it accidentally
Gives me shivers just remembering.

I own 30 tarantulas. They're all pretty cute. With that said true spiders still get to me sometimes. It's not so bad now but there are ones that I still couldn't go near(none of which live where I do at least)
Tarantulas helped get me over most of my fear of spiders. I love taking care of these guys.
I just put leather work gloves on and grab them or use a shoebox on the feisty ones. Funny enough, once they realize you aren't hurting them, they sometimes sit on my hand for a bit and just chill before finally taking off. They do a lot for the environment, eat misquotes and pollinate flowers.
I always just leave them be. Me and the spiders have an understanding, they kill all the actual harmful bugs and I leave them alone. If they're really in my way I'll just move them with a piece of paper or something.
Besides spiders are cool, did you know that in most species right after having sex there's a 50/50 chance the female will just maul the male to death and eat him alive. That shit is heavy metal.
>try out our new therapy game >AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I think spiders are cool and they're welcome to eat any mosquitoes that may roam in my house. I have no clue which one's are dangerous and I don't want to try my luck so I just don't mess with them.
>Kill It With Fire >Webbed >Star Wars Jedi: Survivor >Shadows Over Loathing (also has an arachnophilia mode though) >Grounded >Hogwarts Legacy >Nightingale
I really don’t get this. I have and extreme phobia of snakes to the point of sometimes checking around my apartment for them even though I’m on the 5th floor and there is 0% chance any are present. But if there is one in a game you just suck it up and kill it quickly.
What kind of b***h needs a mod.
Afraid of spiders? You must secretly want to frick them.
I've been found out

Isn't that shit just a 20 min test show?
It's just a little over half an hour long for the pilot.
Yeah lol, but they sold out to an animation studio early after it gained interest and changed all the VAs, now it's entirely sold out to Amazog. It's coming to Prime in like January or February.
Lmao somebody actually gave money to those gays!?
Course they did, you see those youtube numbers? Those frickers unironically pump out merch like a motherfricker. There's a video for new merch inbetween every episode of that other show they make now.
I hate how much this c**t gets to me...

i mean i'm an arachnophobe and driders are the hottest shit on the planet to me
idk why
Same, I saw a bit of that one anime with the guy who had to live with the monster girls and the spider was the hottest one. I have crazy arachnophobia. One time a spider was on my son's head though and I didn't hesitate to brush that little b***h off of him. After it was on the ground my hand was tingly and I had to shake it out

Sad!
Trauma, fear, disgust, and sexual arousal are close in the brain. It's supposedly a biological advantage where someone about to die will try to reproduce before the end.
in a highly anxious state, a person's blood flow changes to that similar to a sexually stimulating state.
look up anxiety orgasms.
I fricking hate spiders but I have a webbing/mummification fetish
not really "scared" of spiders, i just don't typically want one crawling on me for the same reason i don't want any bug on me that i didn't expressly want to do so. However, I think less people would be afraid of spiders if they had a more "normal" mouth structure, like vertically opening mouth like your typical mammal/reptile/fish/bird. if spiders had mouths like , im pretty sure less people would be afraid of them.
How did you know??
Not me, no way.
That just a fricking human
You frick the spider mouth
Except homophobes are transphobes are routinely caught in homosexual acts or enjoying gay/trans porn.
>Except homophobes are transphobes are routinely caught enjoying trans porn.
Hey thats me
but only the hot ones that still have dicks the ugly ones that get the chop can die
That's not quite how it works, and fear is valid in both cases, either way.
A few out of thousands are caught which means everyone who doesn't like gays is a gay.
so by your own logic, hating homophobes and "transphobes" (good lord that word is so fricking stupid. you can't just mash a new word and a latin root together like that) is actually hating homosexuals and people who accept trannies the most? so it's based?
Neither of those are legitimate phobias, that's why.
That is literally the difference that meme fails to understand. No one is sitting around worried a gaggle of trooners are going to bust in and goon all over their living room. It's not actually a phobia, just a disgust response to a disgusting thing which results in internal taboo and taboo is a large reason things become fetishes.
You do have to be able to tell the difference though. People who bring shit up when uncalled for are the people you're talking about, not people are a school board meeting complaining about their kids being brainwashed when they're being brainwashed.
It's more complex than that, taboos are of lesser import here, there is fear, rather than disgust alone. That fear is warranted, because it pertains to instinctual comprehension of fundamental wrongness, and revulsion to what is a precipice of hedonistic descent.
The taboo bit was specifically aimed at the people they're talking about, not at everyone who criticizes things. The "phobic" people they're talking about are 100% making it a taboo in their own mind and causing it to be a fetish for themselves.
The rest of what you've said is basically just rewriting what I said to include fear where there isn't any actual fear for most people.
Knowing what's going on and being annoyed by it and pushing back isn't an act of fear.
Not quite a rewrite, fear is the sense of threat, anything can be a threat, abstract corruption of humanity included, which is what happens here.
Annoyance may vary, as is capacity to recognize what's wrong truly, but the issue is ostensibly always the same, whether it's noticed by some select person or not.
That said, their complaints about phobia are indeed ironic in that way, including inability to assess what they turned into.
Fricking kids and siblings also awakens a feeling of instinctual wrongness in most people yet Ganker will defend it
>Ganker is one person
That's because that wrongness is part-compromised and part misplaced.
Not all things past that point are equally antithetical to humanity, whereas pure sexual degeneracy as a whole is a dangerous road, and anti-incest outlooks are based in partial distaste for one's closest relatives, i.e. inability to actually get close to them, plus actual religious taboo.
The only issues with incest are issues with recessive genes, which are solvable by ethical selection, and eventually by paradigm shift through science or non-human/altered/expanded human existence, and soul issues if any apply, which too, are solvable.
If anti-incest has a legitimate thing of import in large timeframes related to spiritual matters and destiny, religious taboo may have been a deliberate psy-op to lock out entire genetic lines and prevent some loved ones from coming together.
>whereas pure sexual degeneracy as a whole is a dangerous road, and anti-incest outlooks are based in partial distaste for one's closest relatives, i.e. inability to actually get close to them
Uh huh. So if you're not into incest you ackshually secretly not close enough with your siblings. Literally the same as "every homophobe is secretly gay".
>which are solvable by ethical selection, and eventually by paradigm shift through science or non-human/altered/expanded human existence
This is fiction, through which every single issue ever is potentially solvable.
>religious taboo may have been a deliberate psy-op to lock out entire genetic lines and prevent some loved ones from coming together.
Who sabotaged the Habsburgs and made them give birth to defective kids to give incest a bad name?
>Literally the same as "every homophobe is secretly gay".
That one turns out to be true as often as not.
One may like incest but not like one's own people, that's all, that fiction is what runs your reality, biology is mutable, there are only a handful of unsolvable issues though you likely won't appreciate the perspective and Habsburgs, much like most others incest runners did not bother with allowing only healthy people to breed. Political incest like that concerned itself with power more than ensuring progeny is healthy.
More on to the point, the point about disliking one's own people was obviously in the context of people who are into incest.
Not being into it at all doesn't necessarily imply revulsion or any true intellectual or emotional care towards it, so if some people don't even bother with it, it means exactly that and not else, sex is simply sex, stigmas are simply stigmas, and mechanical issues are mechanical issues.
Becuse its anime?

RAIN OF SPIDERS!
This is just the conflation of two different meanings of phobia. One being irrational fear, and the other being irrational hatred. You cannot infer something from one meaning of the word and apply it to another.
How can it be irrational hatred with it's used for homos?
Neither phobia nor hatred are necessarily irrational, and one can infer, just not necessarily correctly.
How did you know?

Spiders are cute, not really scared of any insects only disgusted, especially by the more disgusting ones.
hi
Already posted, Anon.
The eyes being that close together makes it look moronic. Like they have the spider version of Down Syndrome.
When you realize they just have snibbity snabs and not fangs they suddenly become less scary. I mean I imagine it would hurt to get snabbed by them but it's not as horrific as getting stabbed by venomous fangs.
Just because they're not actual spiders doesn't mean they aren't any less terrifying. Bites hurt, venomous or not.
I highly doubt the pinch force on those things is enough to break human skin.
They're also goofy as frick because they chase after people to try to sit in their shadow because they don't like the sun
>AAAAAAAAAAAAH
Warming, but spiders wouldn't be like that. They unnerve us instinctively for a reason.
Hee hee
these things are so fricking cool
I'm fine with "phobia" modes as long as they give me the same option for Black folk
i would rather eat my own shit out of the toilet than having to confront one of these
no fricking way sorry dude
they die pretty easy.
You don't understand, the psychological effect is crazy. Like yeah you can just smash it, but even the thought of it being on you touching it it's gooey guts getting everywhere. Holy shit my skin is crawling just typing it. But I've never needed a special arachnophobia mode in a game, they aren't real
>my skin is crawling
>they aren't real
Much like those wounds, eh?
I don't know that to tell you. They aren't scary in video games, but if I'm sitting here imagining a spider the size of my hand being smashed under my fist, it makes me feel gross. The closest to the affect in a game was probably the large spider hands in Elden ring
It was a song joke.
Oh. Linkin Park. Nice job
I saw a giant spider smashed on a cabin wall once, it's guts dripping down
Who squished the spider?
I feel the exact same way except I'm not a pussy and I don't get scared by virtual insects
>they die pretty easy.
The big ones do, yeah. But they also don't attack people unless harassed.
It's the little ones, the recluses you need to worry about. Not even shoes work. They just don't fricking die unless you use a brick and they're on hard floor.
For me, it’s getting a spray bottle, turning the nozzle all the way so the stream is a concentrated blast of water and spraying them nonstop until it stuns them and they curl up, and then crushing them with the flattest thing I can find. I’m genuinely terrified of spiders, but the fear of hitting one and it getting away scares me even more. So far my trick is fool proof.
Have you never heard of pesticide?
What's the opposite term of pesticide, if one exists? Pheromone?
I have never heard of this. As far as I know there are two arthropods that are impossible to kill easily by stomping them with a boot. Ticks and Velvet Ant.
I honestly don't see his you can have an issue with the small spiders. They're adorable, completely harmless, and keep your house free if pests.
I always let the spiders chill in my house whenever I see one, and even go out of my way to move them away from dangerous areas for them like faucets or sinks.
Spiders are bros.
I let small spiders go, but Brown Recluses are on my kill on sight list. Just because it's way too dangerous to let them go. Had this Triangulate Cobweb Spider in my bathroom once. She had a dozen gnats in the web at one point. Was going to move her, but saw that they also hunt other spiders so I let her stay there. Haven't seen her in a while, don't know where she went.
>this Triangulate Cobweb Spider
That's a brown widow
Deadly venom
Triangulate Cobweb Spiders are not "cute and harmless"
Steatodism is a thing
>they die pretty easy.
sure if you get them one vs one. But once you fighting a hoard of them, you fricked. Only solution is to burn down your entire house.
But they're fast as frick
Man, those giant ants in Elden Ring are so disgusting. Their hairy bodies are made for blasting with giant fire balls.
I love throwing lightning bolts at those freaks

It was most definitely a woman.
I hate spiders in real life and if I fail to catch one in my room and it hides somewhere I won't be sleeping that night.
I 'm 100% unbothered by them in games though.
Must be the same mentally ill who can't tell the difference between a drawing and reality.
I used to be like that and I don't know why but I just kinda got over it. They still gross me out and I flinch like a pussy if I suddenly notice one really close to me but if I see one in the corner of my room I just don't even care anymore.
I'm surprised devs haven't made a liminal-phobia mode for histrionic players
>Post the webm, you know the one.
They ruin her with her final form

Yes
every fricking time
you werent kidding that shit is trash
Discount Rachnera
Die.
I don't think I've ever seen a LN/manga/anime jump the shark as hard as this one. Slime is a close contender though. The first arc in the dungeon was perfection, but then it went into generic demon lord shit. It was there in the LN early on, sure, but my first exposure and read was the manga. Then for whatever reason everyone becomes a god and start throwing galaxies at eachother.
Is slime actually worth reading?
I gave up pretty much immediately when the MC swallowed a dragon and become God in the first chapter or something..
My interest in spiderchan has been lower and lower since she got out and the whole "try to defeat shit way tougher than you" shtick got thrown to the wind, and I need another *slow* powercreep story in the same style than early Kumo.
No, for the same reason as Spider. Slime starts off as this cool city building manga about weak monsters banding together then drops everything for Demon Lord politics. The LN gets even worse, they reach such a moronicly high power level it feels like there is never any stakes.
but her true final form is tiny spider the size of a fingertip stuck in a cage
>only 6 legs
That's no spider.
It has the first two pairs held together just to trick you into thinking it isn't a spider.
Spiders are cute
Jumping spiders are.

Only intelligent ones with big frontal eyes like this guy, stupid spiders with no intelligence and tiny sets of eyes with barely any front row are disgusting and deserve the rope, I'm a spider racist. Why are jumping bro spiders so cool? Because you know they won't do something moronic stupid and endanger itself or you,
>spiders are cute
>his only proof for this is posting the only spider in existence that can be called cute
Cherrypicking isn't an argument. Spiders as a whole are disgusting; you can't just take the exception to that rule and apply it to all of the others.
>t. house centipede
I think tarantulas are cute.
Cute feet, too.
I think house spiders are also pretty cute, and tarantulas, and whip spiders.
As a rule, anything that can't actually injure me is fine
>it can't injure me so it's cute
What kind if backwards fricking logic is that? I know house spiders can't hurt me (well they can, but their bites aren't dangerous or deadly), but that doesn't make them cute all of a sudden; they're still creepy and gross looking. Whip spiders kind of look cool, so i guess they're not ALL bad, but calling them "cute" is laughable.
Nah, you are wrong, they're cute
Jumping Spiders though aren't one spider though. There's like hundreds of different types, and are among the most common spiders in the world.
This is such a moronic and pedantic response that I seriously hate your guts. Obviously I know there are different kinds of jumping spiders, just like there are different kinds of daddy long legs; they can still be fricking grouped together when talking about them. You're just being pedantic for the sake of it.
I thought it was a joke the first time I heard it. Now I boycott any game that officially adds it on principle it's a subtle tell the game is ideologically pozzed.
Personally I think that Spiders look pretty creepy in games. Not such a pussy to call myself an arachnophobe but I won't deny they creep me out.
>Wastes dev time and resources removing these funny little guys
Every dev team that does this should be shot.
There is one good thing about living in a basement for almost my entire life, after killing armies of spiders, millipedes, ear wigs, and any other little creature that came crawling out of the walls that fear of all that shit goes away real quick. My spider kill count is up there
Why kill the spiders when they'll kill the other stuff with you?
A trespasser is a trespasser, friendly or not
They aren't friendly either, before I wiped them out I got spider bites pretty often
THEY DO FRICK ALL

This actually works. There's definitely spiders in my apartment but after killing every one I see they've stopped coming out into the open. I just see a new web once in awhile.
The only good bug is one that doesn't crawl out of its stinking hole

That might've had something to do with it. Fat motherfricker snake tries to eat something larger than itself.
if it was big enough, you could cook it up and get a ton of what are essentially crab legs.

Not many arthopods take care of their offspring after the eggs hatch. Spiders, Scorpions and Centipedes. Excluding eusocial insects such as ants, bees and termites for obvious reasons. Centipedes are actually good mothers.
Why do japs seem to think that centipedes are literally the devil?
That's because they see them legs up, baby, legs up, gimme your heart, gimme, gimme your heart, gimme gimme and basically go all heebie jeebie.
They're considered impure because they're usually found around dead or decaying material.
the procedural movement might make some enemies look goofy in rain world, but it really makes those guys convincingly crawly
I try to save or help spiders whenever I can. Spiders are the eyes of the devil and while I don’t know if I’m going to heaven or not, at least I know that if I wind up in hell I’ll have someone looking out for me.
>tfw almost 30 but still have the occasional spider dreams once a year which makes me lose my sleep due to spider paranoia
Im not the only one right?
How fast would a dog-sized spider be?
that's an interesting question because various mechanisms in athropods only really work for small scales
their oxygen comes in passively through their skin, which is their overall limiter
their speed is fast, but hard to sustain for long periods, they are like a series of valves that can be opened or closed to harness the power of the hydraulic motor that is their heart

thats the point
I dont mind small spiders but if I found one of those australian monsters Ill have a heart attack
Small spider not scary on itself but imagine like a 100 of them crawling out of a nest or something and scattering everywhere all over the place.
Anyone demanding a special 'no spiders' mode is a fricking pushy. However, I think a fear of spiders is natural. Being wary of venomous animals just makes sense. The problem is anyone getting 'triggered. That shouldn't be coddled. It's OK to be scared, it's part of life. Pretending the thing you're scared of doesn't exist is just stupid, though.
Its like snakes. I find them cool and love watching them in documentaries but that doesnt stop me from running away if I see one in the wild.
I used to have this mentality that I have to obsessively neurotically confront everything that makes me uncomfortable to "beat" it. This worked out well enough for me with specific irrational fears, but I realized it wasn't a healthy mentality when the thing that made me uncomfortable was the actions of actual real people I couldn't just "beat" and make them shut up forever, which brought me a lot of anguish.
>Pretending the thing you're scared of doesn't exist is just stupid, though.
It's normal. Obsessively reminding yourself of something you hate 24/7 to make yourself suffer out of nothing but low self-esteem is what's abnormal.
is this the thread?
I love/hate these things. They're adorable, but I hate how small and fragile they are. Would be cool if it was the size of a small dog, but then would probably be the most dangerous creature on the planet.
Imagine having a dog sized spider pounce on you from a 40 foot tree while you're walking.

There are other ways to tame other than cattle prods, and I certainly don't want others to be tamed at all ultimately, least of all do tricks.

We could hook Tolkien's coffin up to a generator and power the entire globe just from the ever-accelerating speed of him rotating in his grave
Why? Shapeshifting is the most common ability possessed by supernatural creatures in the setting, whether Beornlings, Maya, Valar, Ishtar, or vampires.
Because Shelob was not supposed to be a nuanced character, she was a big-ass spider that ate people.
Actually she was supposed to be a hot goth chick, but Tolkien didn't have the technology to fully realise his vision back then.
Only if she turns back into a spider.

Wasn't Shelob, just some giant spider, and the only thing special was that she was a giant spider?
Why'd they make her some magical demigod with transformation magic?
Because the writers are idiots
Shelob was "an evil thing in spider-form". She was the last child of Ungoliant, itself an evil spirit that had the form of a spider. It is never hinted that Shelob or Ungoliant had the ability to take any other shapes than that of a spider, and since Shelob herself spawned the many giant spiders of Middle-Earth, who also show no ability to shape shift, presumably the writers had to dig deep in their own buttholes to come up with it.
Spiders are cool. You only need to be afraid of them in desert shitholes like Australia, where everything can kill you.
When will we get a homophobia option in games that removes all gay characters?
The most based thing I’ve read on Ganker in years.
Do you risk being sent into a ptsd spiral by seeing gay people like can happen with people and spiders? If so that’s kind of pathetic
Yes I do, that's why they should add it right now to all future games
>remove all gay characters
There is one, already. Just pull the trigger.
It's called the Saudi Arabia game version.
>grandma was afraid of spiders
>got herself a small garden to grow plants and vegetables
>eventually got over her phobia cause there were so many spiders outside - according to her own words she just couldn't give a shit anymore at some point and just learned to live with them
I knew I could never visit Skyrim when I saw the Frostbites. Not even a homicidal mummy with an axe can compare with the horror.
Every game with an Arachnophobia mode should also have a corresponding Arachnophilia mode.
I genuinely don't understand how arachnophobes have an issue with video game spiders. I'm deathly afraid of sharks and bees, but I've never been spooked by them in video games or videos.
I dunno for me it's really specific. It's only spindly spiders, and only if they look mostly realistic. Like in Bloodborne the spiders that cover Rom give me absolutely no reaction, but the huge, fat-ass spindly ones in the Nightmare of Mensis/dungeons are creepy as hell.
>Like in Bloodborne the spiders that cover Rom give me absolutely no reaction, but the huge, fat-ass spindly ones in the Nightmare of Mensis/dungeons are creepy as hell.
I feel the exact same way. I dread that one spider room and try my best to just run through as fast as possible it every time. There's probably some items in there but I'll never know what they are.
The closest I can get to understanding is one of the three witches in TW3 with the beehive eye. I’m not pussy enough to install a mod but I have straight up held my hand over the screen not to look at it. FRICK whoever made that. Worst shit I’ve ever seen.
That was her eye? I thought she was wearing some Pyramid Head tier helmet or something.
Idk, in some official art it could maybe be an eyepatch, but in game it looks like her actual face.
Oh you're one of these redditors who pretend to have a phobia of holes...
I avoided saying trypophobia intentionally since it’s not a real phobia but that shit is still nasty as frick to look at.
But good job being extra moronic.
>Have arachnophobia
>See spider thread on Ganker
>Enter into anyways knowing there will spiders posted
Bruh, the frick is wrong with me?
nothing, it's the beauty of the human psyche, you'll figure this out eventually
Yup I'm the exact same way with gore. I hate seeing blood or people getting fricked up but I can't help myself but go into gore threads.
A spider bit me when I was a kid, so now I shot myself when I see a spider nearby. Before that, I couldn't easily hold all kinds of spiders except for long-legged scum. They are horrifying and often appear in my nightmares.
Partly because other kids I knew would often catch them, rip all their legs out, and use these electric things from gas lighters to make their disembodied legs twitch.
>unpredictable apex predator with lightning speed and no behavioral predictors and powerful venom to the point a quarter sized creature can kill and adult male ez

spiders LITERALLY fighting for their lives when they encounter you
I never kill those fluffy bastards, they are hunting all the flies and mosquitos. I also don't live in kangaroo land so I have nothing to worry about. I just let them walk onto my hand and let them out outside.
James Bond if spider puss puss?
This is what Hercules thought before kratos bashed his head in. Hubris is the fall of all men.
They don't bother me because I'm afraid they'll hurt me, they bother me because they look fricking digusting and they move so unpredictably. That's why it's called a phobia, it's an irrational fear.
I would turn into a b***h so unbelievably fast on that room
Jesus Christ, that spider is HUGE
Don't get too close or the health bar will show and then you'll be locked into a boss fight.
Name 3 games.
Why is it ONLY spiders with normies? There are plenty of gross insects in the world. Insects are gross and alien by nature, even B-movie chads recognized it back in the day. But somehow most people seem to only be afraid of spiders who aren't even insects. This is so weird. If you think spiders are gross, shouldn't you think many insects, who possess similar physical traits, should be gross as well? Or is it just dumb monke "PREDATOR BAD" instinct?
its the physical shape and form of spiders that scares ppl more than any practical reason
Spiders being fricking everywhere is a big part of their notoriety, you don't see giant centipedes several times a day in your house and yard
he doesn't know about house centipedes. lol. lmao.
I literally have seen big ass centipedes inside my house. Come to Japan. Spiders are chill. Centipedes however....
You'll never sleep comfortably again after rolling up your futon and seeing a 6 inch centipede skitter away for the gaps in your furniture.
They have huntsman spiders in Okinawa that are frick huge and creepy looking plus the centipedes.

Genuinely don’t remember this scene from Predator
Of all insects and arthopods, it is in my humble opinion ants and termites are the most horrifying. Not for appearance, but how they simply function. They are the closest think to a sci-fi hive mind, along with the other eusocial insects. Some are so hyper specialized that they cannot feed themselves, they only exist as living weapons. Some termites have ACID CANNONS MOUNTED ON THEIR HEADS. Army ant are tides of death that grab on to eachother to form bridges, and can supposedly strip a horse of flesh.
To me that makes them incredibly cool, not scary.
>Some termites have ACID CANNONS MOUNTED ON THEIR HEADS. Army ant are tides of death that grab on to eachother to form bridges, and can supposedly strip a horse of flesh.
It reminded me of .gif related.

I'd never want that life.
People aren't really afraid of other insects like praying mantises, because they can't really do much to humans.
Spiders on the other hand are big, fast, and hairy and plenty of then will fricking kill you if they bite you.
>plenty of then will fricking kill you if they bite you
That's why we have species identification. No reason to be afraid of the ones we know are harmless.
cute
Aren't you inviting it to bite you by doing this?
NTA but I assume that species doesn't/can't bite humans.
No? It's a jumping spider, bites are beyond rare (and even then the venom does nothing anyway). Pretty sure that one is a pet also.
I don't think the fangs of a jumping spider are long enough to pierce human skin...
guarantee you if that thing moved suddenly the person petting it would jerk back in fear
It would be startling because of how quick huntsmans move, but there's still no danger.
I'm more into actual spiders if I'm being honest.
Jumping spiders don't bite things bigger than they are
It's mostly just a 'I am trying to seem dangerous' gesture
Small spiders, especially jumping spiders literally can't bite humans. Their fangs can't penetrate your skin.
My friend sister has a room with like 40 different spiders. Turns me on for some reason.

Oh, I just made it up. But only someone with a disorder would be doing that stuff, so you know
Are they more evolved or less evolved. What kind of mental moronation is this
oh naur, if she puts that in her mouth she's down for anything
Not my problem.
that man is dead. it's over for him.
holy frick
imagine being scared of a cutie like that, lol
they're basically hamsters with 8 legs
not enough facial expression to identify if that spider is paralyzed in fear or actually enjoying it
the spider has barely any idea who you are its just being jerk offd
Imagine gameplay here
The only way I would ever buy one of those shitty Tesla flamethrowers is if I lived where ever the frick this is.
Actually frick that.
the worst thing is that these frickers are incredibly heat resistant
are they pack creatures like wolves? How are they supposed to split a fly? or they must have strong codes of territory and not get too close to another spiders prey in their area
still seems like a very moronic settlement, the ones in the middle will likely never eat and die of starvation
they do eat each other anon. a lot of times, after mating. it's typically the female eating the male. vile behavior.
hot
eat me spider mommy
That's just insane sex, that's all. But truly, it only makes sense in death rebirth cycles.
orb weavers (and most stationary web spiders) are the worst kind of spider. they make webs in high foot-traffic areas, they are lazy and do no work for their food, etc... basically the Black folk of spiders.
>they are lazy and do no work for their food
Not quite true. If an orb weaver isn't completely starving for food, they're known to tear down their web before dawn and rebuild it at night, and may repeat this every day until a male comes along to wipe off his sperm (and potentially provide a safety meal).
Spiders are nothing. Hornets and Wasps? They have the numbers and flying advantage and love to sting you because they're buttholes.
I couldn't play the bee levels in Donkey Kong Country 2 as a kid. Apparently a lot of people thought the bees looked scary so they changed them in DKC3 to look really stupid.

Thanks, looks interesting
/co/gay here; literally the only time Spider-Man has ever had a realistic looking spider in it was the first Sam Reimi movie. People are genuinely too scared to look at spiders long enough to learn how to draw them photo-realistically. The last time I can remember one looking realistic in a video game was the death scene in Sim-Ant. The rest of the time they look like picrel.
>calls himself a Gankergay
>doesn't know about nofna's lycosa
Unless this is a superhero comic book or a cartoon they can obsess over for being too liberal, none of them will have read it.
I've been trying to find this comic for years. Thank you. All I remembered was that she had a surrogate egg sac and there was a camera focus change in a comic, which was wild.

These people are unfit to survive. Do they nver go outside? How the frick are arthopods scary? Most of them are cute.
I go to the same discord. I asked a mod and they said its because insects are inherently sensually and thus are not safe for work.

Must have been a weak strain of autism. True ASD gods have formed a pact with arthopods.
he slurp
For most, it’s the thought of it crawling on you or touching you. These people are usually deeply traumatized and the sensation of an insect crawling on you can trigger a ptsd episode
I'm generally not bothered by spiders if they're in my direct line of sight but if I see them moving in my peripheral vision I get sent immediately into a blind 'throw things and run into walls' panic.
That's just basic caveman brain
Your ancestors survived to reproduce because of that instinct to flail wildly when you see something unexpected in your peripheral vision
It's just instinct, there's plenty of videos of massive animals freaking out at insects.
It just occurred to me that it would be funny if what I dislike had a setting.
I don't like being by water at night explicitly. I'm okay by water in the day time and I don't care about night normally but for some reason the two combined cause an internal freak out in real life and games.
Imagine a game setting that causes all the water to just dry up between 4 - 9PM and 4 - 9 AM depending upon the time of year in the game.
What a specific phobia — what happened to cause it? Seems like one of those ones that had to have a cause.
E.g. I get freaked out by tunnels if they’re too narrow because I got stuck upside down in a skinny picrel as a kid

moron, those are called cellar spiders.
daddy long legs are harvestmen. (or if you're a britgay, they're crane flies)
No way, these guys hunt other spiders? They're that predatory/territorial?
Mind you, these spiders are everywhere in my room too but I haven't killed them because I'm a lazy frick
Yea, I watched one mess a house spider up that got a little close to its web. Was really weird seeing this lanky gangly little thing absolutely wreck a thicc house spider, it didn't even take long
Innocent creatures, they were. Caution exercise you, did not, young padawan.
Regret, regret, indeed. Regret, regret, regret.
And spiderwomen, and spiderchildren too. Oh, Ani...
Sandy crack = Spider Ack
You can just spray diluted bifenthrin around the perimeter of your house and stop spiders from coming in at all. I do it once a year and I have seen maybe 4 spiders inside since I started doing it. This is in Australia, too.
I've seen some big-ass spiders beneath some bridges
This one is terrifying
>naturally aggressive unlike other spiders

I took some sleeping meds that gave me a 12 hour boner once. Shit was really painful and sucked cause I had to walk to a doctor with a pitched tent then check into a hospital and have a nurse drain a liter of blood from my dick and then inject some saline solution into it.
Still not the worst sexual ER example.

I used to kill all spiders (only exception was jumping) I find, even cellar spiders, until one day one of them decided to make a web in a corner of my room and found a pile of dead Argentine ants below it. After that, never killed them again.
>The sacrifice has to be made to appease the Gods

I think spiders are icky, so I kill them on sight, but I've never understood the whole "arachnophobia" thing in video games. Real spiders are icky, video game spiders aren't real. Same thiing with that "fear of holes" tripophobia or whatever. It's not a fear, the images of holes on peoples' skin just look icky.
I dont have much of a problem with stuff with 6 legs, but 8 is too much, makes want to kill it.
>8 is too much
There is no love for millipedes... So tragic
Anyone has that gif of a spider who moved to some tune played on a smartphone?
Sorry, I don't.
why
no but seriously why
why in the frick would you do that
what's the plan afterwards?
what is this?
he saved them, they were trapped, he is a hero
I don't want to play that webm. It's a guy opening a fricking spider eggsack, isn't it? I tried squashing one before with a shoe to kill it, but regardless it just broke open and hundreds of spiders went everywhere. It's fricking nightmare fuel.

Finally a thread for a refined spiderfricker like myself.
>Why does every game need an "arachnophobia mode"?
They don't. Just played Xenoblade trilogy and they had the biggest spiders ever there.
It's fricking weird to me. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but I'm still probably arachnophobic, but spiders in games have never bothered me. They're no different than a lion or an evil robot. The only exception was the spiders in Dark Souls II which were just creepy, but even then I didn't have trouble facing them.
Most of them aren't even arachnophobic. Most people who claim to have a phobia don't. What they instead have is a desire to fit in with all the other special snowflake victims without any actual event or disability that makes them a victim. You know it's true because their "phobia" is mild discomfort at worst. An actual arahnophobe, for example, would not even be able to launch a game with an arachnophobia mode/level unless they had been doing months of desensitiziation therapy. A thalassophobe would not even be able to watch a trailer of an ocean game.
Mild discomfort is not a phobia, and you're not a special snowflake with a condition. Get over yourselves.
That's not how phobias work. Every person with a phobia has a maximum comfort level with that phobia. On this chart I'd be fine with spiders up until it crawls on my shoe. Beyond that is where my phobia responses start.
This is the basis of how desensitization therapy works. You find the point where the phobia responses start, then work from there introducing the next level until they're comfortable.
I accidentally went through that with these dudes since they like coming in through the gaps in the flyscreen in my kitchen. Its gotten to the point where I wait for them to stop panicking trying to get back out and just pick them up and take them outside.
Despite everything shitty about this country this is why I love Canada. No giant spiders, no giant centipedes, barely any venemous snakes, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no earthquakes.
Same but midwest. Tornado siren gets annoying though.
This is how I feel about new England. Also, hardly any blacks
lol just pick up that sydney funnel web bro
lol just put it back outside where it now has your scent and will actively try to find you and frick you up bro
lol you're a big man its afraid ot you (it's not) bro
lol just go to the hospital quickly before you get paralysis and die from the bite bro
i just wish roaches looked a little more like moths
Moths creep me the hell out I don't know why, they're just incredibly disgusting to me and I will run away like a little girl if they fly at me.
>arachnophobia mode
Never played a game with that option. Only pozzed games must have that shit.
I just realised I had that "spider slowly descends onto your keyboard in the middle of the night" moment last night, I didn't even think of all the anons' traumaposting. It was like a friendly visit.
For me it's always
>Not now little friend I'm shitposting right now
Yes, being scared of anything is womanly
That's not how it works.
There's spiders, and then there's these things...
Those are nice too.
>looks like an eldritch abomination straight out of satan's butthole
>completely harmless to humans
why is nature like this

>things don't frick with you because you look scary and dangerous
>don't need to actually be scary and dangerous
simple as
There are both 100% harmless, aren't they?
The black one (Amblypygi) is harmless despite looking like a nightmare'd version of the worst spider.
The yellow one (Camel spider) is an extremely aggressive and fast menace, that some soldiers from the Irak war will have more PTSD from than the actual combat.
>The yellow one (Camel spider) is an extremely aggressive and fast menace, that some soldiers from the Irak war will have more PTSD from than the actual combat.

You know that's a good point. Most spiders are solitary hunters, why the frick did Video games meme them as the swarm enemy?
I own 30 tarantulas. They're all pretty cute. With that said true spiders still get to me sometimes. It's not so bad now but there are ones that I still couldn't go near(none of which live where I do at least)
Tarantulas helped get me over most of my fear of spiders. I love taking care of these guys.
Anon, blink twice if you are being held hostage
How will he blink you fool?! You're probably talking to a spider right now!
People are scared of bats too. LMAO.
I like bats but they do bite and carry rabies, I hate it when they get into my house
I just put leather work gloves on and grab them or use a shoebox on the feisty ones. Funny enough, once they realize you aren't hurting them, they sometimes sit on my hand for a bit and just chill before finally taking off. They do a lot for the environment, eat misquotes and pollinate flowers.
Where do you live where this is a regular occurrence? The Munster's house or something?
I always just leave them be. Me and the spiders have an understanding, they kill all the actual harmful bugs and I leave them alone. If they're really in my way I'll just move them with a piece of paper or something.
Besides spiders are cool, did you know that in most species right after having sex there's a 50/50 chance the female will just maul the male to death and eat him alive. That shit is heavy metal.
good thing that my cat eats them
Take mercy on your cat!
My cat used to eat spiders, but he kept getting sick and puking them up. Now he just stares at them with an intense stinkeye.
>tfw cat won't stop eating bees
lmao. My cat messed with a bee once when he was young and never again, I think he learned his lesson. He also stays the frick away from spiders.
Some dev should do an arachnophobia mode that just turns all the monsters to spiders. Get some immersion therapy going.
>try out our new therapy game
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>arachnophobia mode
>makes spiders more realistic to trigger arachnophobia better
I think spiders are cool and they're welcome to eat any mosquitoes that may roam in my house. I have no clue which one's are dangerous and I don't want to try my luck so I just don't mess with them.

I really don’t get this. I have and extreme phobia of snakes to the point of sometimes checking around my apartment for them even though I’m on the 5th floor and there is 0% chance any are present. But if there is one in a game you just suck it up and kill it quickly.
What kind of b***h needs a mod.
Ok but can you raise an Ekans in a pokemon game or is that too much for you?
Too cartoonish to even look like a snake so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The head shape is way off.
I want to frick a bug! God dammit!
