        Not his fault that a garden gnome coined hate towards a disgusting minority a "phobia".
        Same garden gnome also told people that everyone who hates gays is secretly gay himself.

        Turns the spider into a round blob
        Game is Webbed, I can't find a picture of it with the mode turned on, but I can't imagine a more direct example of trying to appeal to groups that will never be your target audience. Kotaku and other news publications made a big positive fuss about it though

    Including other phobias doesn't give you brownie points from redditors. One game did this and got noticed so now it's the hip thing to do. It's also a common phobia and easy to implement most of the time but devs can also replace spiders with quirky and unique things which people can post about to advertise the game.

    I used it on some Oblivion mod because i thought it was going to remove spiders from the install, which is an enemy not only i don't find interesting but also ends up appearing everywhere. Turns out it only transformed them in mudcrabs. Awful.

    It's a don't buy signal. If the studio is signalling it's inclusivity virtues with an arachnophobia setting it's telling you it has no interest in making a real video game.

      I once suggested to a dev I was working with to include an arachnophobia option in the settings that was defaulted to "on". Turning it "off" would immediately cause hundreds of spiders to rain down the screen. This of course would all be for a gag, but it's uncanny how this has actually turned into an option for such a meme of "I don't like spiders so I have arachnophobia"

      The garden gnome who coined the term argued that every "homophobe" is insecure in their own sexuality and a closet homosexual, unable to cope with that. And while he didn't coin transphobia, it's used in the same manner.

            I think you're a mutt, mutt. You're at least ten shades darker than the regular "white" person you aspire to be. No amount of rage towards "the jooz" helps you accomplish being any whiter. Why not have a nice day today?
