How didn't you? It's been a thing for a decade with majority of games having, or being forced to, add an arachnophobia mode.

Dragon Age Veilguard outirght fully removed spiders during development to "not trigger people".
Lethal Company, Grounded, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. all added Arachnophobia Mode to replace spiders with orbs or boxes.

They're annoying cunts, I agree. If you can't handle the spiders, skip the game.
I legit hope that a dev at some point adds in an arachnophobia mode that changes all spiders into something equally scary. I was going to say scorpions but those are arachnids.

>>715298213 (OP)
At this point arachnophiles are way more annoying. Can you just shut the fuck up about an optional toggle in a menu? You've been whining about it for half a decade

Die you pathetic cowardly retard

It's fine to be afraid of spiders.
Like it's fine to be afraid of zombies.

You'd think you'd over come that fear in a game that gives you a giant fucking weapon that can one shot spiders just like games that give you tons of ammo to kill hordes of zombies.

Arachnophiles?

Arachnophobia and how large of a 'cultural' thing its become, as opposed to a genuine phobia in a miniscule portion of the populous, is exactly the kind of thing golden era South Park would lambast. I guarantee more than 90% of people that act terrified of spiders and the like are doing so for attention, or because society has deemed that having a piss-and-shit yourself reaction to them is perfectly fine and not at all pathetic or hyperbolic. These people do *not* understand true fear.

As far as mental illness goes arachnophobia is pretty low on the list. Phobias are not based on logic or reason. It's like most of /v/ is with trannies. Just imagine a game with trannies came with a "NON-WOKE" mode.

>>715298692
They should've removed the troon. That triggered a lot of people. Even other troons.

>>715304190

Nobody is so afraid of trannies they literally cease to function,paralyze or have a heart attack upon seeing one. They just don't want political agenda in what's supposed to be entretainment.
People with arachnophobia however see a fictional bug and LITERALLY cry.

There's no evidence fear of spiders exists outside of society.

>>715299842

I'm arachnophobic and I've never asked for this, no one ever asked me if they should add it. I don't want it in my gamed and I don't know why the US left is so intent on making me look bad and turning people against be like this is somehow my fault.

spiders are more afraid of humans than we are of them so games should add a humanphobic mode that removes all humans from the game if they really wanted to be inclusive. and they would also add options for other common phobias like ophidiophobia, xenophobia, homophobia and trypanophobia yet theres no way turn that stuff off in your games. proof it's all just performative crap, and they choose something very easy to do like swapping the spider model so they can do it with the least possible effort.

>>715298213 (OP)
I would replace arachnophobia mode with cute and fluffy jumping spider mode.

>>715309316
>>715309891
isn't the point of spider enemies that they are scary? no one is making weevil enemies because they aren't scary. Makes no sense to add an option to make them not scary

>>715298213 (OP)
don't even bother because once they decide to remove it some people will start complaining about cut content just play the game or don't it's that simple.

It's a feature that increases sales. If a game has realistic spiders in it, I won't buy it. Simple as.
A game that did this feature beautifully is Dark Souls 2 where you can hold a torch once you reach the spider area, and never have to interact with them.

>>715311082
you're such a pussy. you have giant swords and magic spells in that game and you're scared of a spider? what do you do in real life if you see a spider, piss your pants and go into a a catatonic coma? it's the equivalent of seeing a spider while holding a magical vacuum that can instantly suck it into oblivion in real life and still being scared, ridiculous

It's just an irrational fear. I know I shouldn't be scared of them but my brain starts sending signals out anyway. I've gotten better with my arachnophobia, so I could probably handle the games I wasn't able to play years ago.

humans dont look like anything else on the planet, and spiders look like octopus but tiny and on land or other bugs and etc. and some humans have those powers just like how spiders have powers. More proof they are more scared of us than we are of them

People who seethe at this option are either baiting or mentally ill. Spiders make a significant % of the population uncomfortable. It's also completely optional and you uslaly have to go out of your way to install it.

Do you not understand the definition of a phobia? It's a irrational fear. If anyone needs to go to a loony bin it would you anon sadly. You can't show basic empathy and are angered (Or at the very least annoyed) by such a non issue that doesn't effect you or your daily life. Like if was forced in all games i'd unstand your point of view. But it's not. It's completely optional. It's such an infinelty small and unimportant issue for it.

The spiders on /v/ are really mad at games having this option.

they CAN
but outside of allergy, the variety of venoms that can do anything appreciable are very very small.
You posted one, probably a brown recluse bite, and it is still functionally harmless. The sore is gnarly, but no more dangerous than any other open wound, and no more painful than the same. Keep it clean and covered. In the future, mind fucking around wood piles. EZ
In America there is a single other danger, and one legitimately threatening.
Black Widows.
They are limited in environment.
You know when you're in one.
And they are easy to spot visually, as well as nesting in places that are not disturbed. You can know ahead of time when to be more alert.
Because of this they by nature do not regularly cross people. If you're in an area with them, just shake out your laundry if you hang it dry or something, and reduce their numbers by regularly turning over anything that might afford them an open sheltered knook in which to spin.
The rest of the world is a different story - but the story is similar. The number of bites even from the most horrific of arachnids like that Brazillian Wandering spider are very few, despite their habitats crossing with humans with greater
frequency.
Acting irrational does not grant irrational fear.
No one in this thread has arachnophobia.

No one is forcing you to enable that mode, just like no one is forcing you to install that Skyrim mod that replaces spiders with bears.

>>715318293
I'm not scared of them, but feeling one writhing in my hand causes nause and revulsion.

How can somebody be so scared of spiders, that even seeing one in a video game like Skyrim where you can slaughter them so easily scare them? Like I understand if they see a real one crawling in their room or something.
But how the fuck are they scared of seeing them in games?!

>>715321601
Tbqh web-bears is an even scarier concept.

>>715302767
As the mode becomes more tied to certain whiny progressive developers they're going to start losing customers if they add it. It works as a red flag with people catching on that the developers that are adding it in are using the same design ideology. It's an 'avoid this game' signal that's getting larger and larger the more people begin to notice which games include it.

I never kill the spiders. I like to relocate them to popular insect invasion spots outside on the porch.

It's mental illness virtue signaling.

>>715298213 (OP)
I agree, they should remove those options, people should get used to seeing spiders!
Developers should also add hints to subtle=y suggest people not check their walls, attics or basements.

what exactly are people with arachnophobia afraid of? the "safe modes" just disable the legs of the spiders, but they are fine with the legs of other bugs?

I have niggerphobia. Where is my option to disable all nogs?

isn't this one of those deals where the surrounding bees go hard on the thermogenesis and literally cook the wasp? But since the bees can rotate they mostly come out of it fine, opposed to trying to sting, which would result in more casualties?

Yeah that's how bees kill things they can't just sting.
Also, bees don't actually die when they sting things normally, that's just humans and bears since we have thicker skin than other critters, so the stringer gets stuck in us and it rips the ass out of the bee when they try to get off of us.

>>715334453
It's weird how all of a sudden you see all these food allergies in kids. I've read it's because environments are too clean and people don't let toddlers play around in mud anymore, so their immune systems don't get a chance to fight real threats and food becomes the allergen instead.
Kids are just weaker now I guess.

>>715305162
I'm not even sure what you're buttblasted about. Everybody knows about instinctual behaviors and that they're inherited. It literally is elementary school science.

>>715335048
Its from all the vaccines

>>715335048
It's because people that had allergies just fucking died. Probably a huge reason for Sudden Infant Death back in the day. Evolution simply sorted them out pretty early. But now you can live long lives even with severe allergies thanks to shit like epi-pens and generally medicine being able to tell you what to avoid.

The problem is that avoidance is a double edged sword as exposure to the allergen can be pretty shit, but it can also result in the allergy weakening if not completely disappearing. My mom used to have a severe cat allergy for instance. Then my sister needed to move back home for a year or so, brought her cat with her and since mom was now exposed daily... the allergy just went away.

>>715335737
>but it can also result in the allergy weakening if not completely disappearing
So exposure therapy really is the solution then. If a child happens to be allergic, just epi-pen them and try again.

So when will games have a safe mode for LGBTBQ+ and DEI stuff? I'd love an option to just model swap all the minorites out of a game at a whim.

It basically make the game harder because parry is basically THE best way to play the game. If you can't see their legs then you can't really parry. Given spiders are generally the hardest enemies at any given point doesn't help but making it so you can't defend against them only make them that much worst.

There should be an arachnophobia mode that adds more and even scarier spiders for the true arachnophobia experience.

>>715298765
Nice projection.

The fear of spiders probably comes more from the association they have with their prey. If you see lots of spiders, it's likely because you have lots of bugs for them to eat, which means you're in a dirty area with all the problems that causes. Spiders never go out of their way to bother humans, and the few cases of bites that occur are usually by freak accident like living in Australia.

>>715328390
yes

If you're afraid of spiders you can start getting used to them with jumping spiders, they are harmless and cute. Just don't look too close, they might jump on your face.

Fucking mentally ill weirdos, I hope arachnophobes wake up covered in spiders.

How do I turn off the arachnophilia mode on 4chan? These threads are spammed daily now and they're barely about video games

You know most of the time spiders ain't so bad. You go to some cave like skyrim and there's a couple really big ones or like in a crpg and you know there's gonna be spiders in a cave. They're like an unrealistic cat size or bigger which makes it almost kind of goofy. Maybe even the size of a house like EDF.
Then you run into a game like Evil West. It's just supposed to be cowboys killing vampires right? Doesn't even have a spider enemy and it's an action game not a horror game. Well what it does have is when you go in a cave or similar environment are HUNDREDS of baseball sized spiders crawling over the floor and walls. I'm not even an arachnophobia but I flipped the toggle just so I didn't have to look at it.

I has yellow jackets living in some rotten trim outside my front door. I'd just walk right by them and they'd fly around me going back and forth to the nest. It made me get over my childhood fear of bees. They were chill. Then one night I was taking out the trash and they attacked me for absolutely no reason. Got stung 3 times and found out I'm allergic to bee stings as it created a rash that spread all over my body.
Sprayed those fuckers the next day and patched up the trim. I avoid bees instinctively again now.

Avoiding using spiders all together is retarded, but changing spiders to basic shapes through a menu option isn't that big of a deal. It's like 30 minutes of dev time at most to get money from a bunch of people you wouldn't have in the first place, why wouldn't you do it?

>>715298213 (OP)
Of course it's a overexaggerated larp, that's all these fucks ever do, otherwise it not be random overly specific bullshit like this that immediately needs to have an safety option in everything (there are so many phobias but this one makes all the difference, sure). Also in reality I totally get it, but it's a fucking video game. Like I myself have fear of heights so bad, that I get anxious just watching videos of someone playing silly unrealistic stuff like minecraft and being somewhere up high close to an edge. But does that stop me from play games where you are up high? Nope, because at the end of the day I'm sitting at a desk, looking at a screen. It's worse with TRPGs, like shut the fuck up, if you can't take someone telling you about something you fear, you should seek therapy instead of doing fantasy roleplaying games - but it's all a special attention larp anyway, so of course they don't).

>>715298692

Why not add options to do that to every enemy ingame? People are afraid of zombies, dragons, squids, sharks, snakes, heights, niggers, etc.
Oh right, because it's all a fucking farce to farm pity-points from normalfags.

>>715314217
>Then they should be killed instead of pandered to and treated like they have a geunine disability.

>j-just ignore those options!
"Arachnophobia" mode is an indicator of certain prioritizations during development. The mere inclusion is a sign that the developers had to divert attention away from other aspects in favor of pandering to some meme checklist made by the terminally online (better than a corporate checklist, right?). It's a sign that the developers themselves never had the mindset to take better advantage of what they were creating, because that approach leaves little room for clout-chasing. If it's happening at all, then I can only put so much faith in the creator's passion.
>it hurts sales if you don't have a mode!

>>715298213 (OP)
I have a pretty bad fear of spiders and I've never once felt the need to use an "arachnophobia mode" in a video game because they're fake spiders on a screen. Some people are such pussies.

None of this is legitimate, it's just attention seeking. Being scared of something isn't a phobia, a phobia is a genuine mental disorder where you have an irrational and disproportionate fear to something you logically know you shouldn't, like if the sight of a toilet brush made your brain dump adrenaline in your system. Same thing with those fags claiming they have thassalophobia or however it's spelled from playing Subnautica, you don't, you just find deep water scary because it's hard to see in, move around in and full of predators IRL. You just want attention by pretending you have a disorder.

If you were actually scared of spiders you could take steps to work on that by interacting with them more, handling the safer kinds with your hands, shit like that. I used to hate them as a kid and yesterday I helped this beautiful orb weaver that made a web between my trash cans relocate so she wouldn't get screwed over when I move them, most species of spider aren't aggressive at all.

Honestly, the real problem with Arachnophobia Mode is how every fucking developer implements it. They fucking coddle and infantilize people with arachnophobia by replacing the things with something cite, cuddly, and just being the complete tonal opposite of what the original was supposed to be.
It doesn't help that some arachnophobes also campaign for the offending entity to be struck out entirely, as the very idea that something might have been a spider supposedly offends them.

I agree, there should be a LGBT removal option in every modern game

I would say most people are scared of spiders, at least if they're surprised by one suddenly appearing on them or near them.

But fear is not a phobia. Needing them removed from movies and games is not real, it's pathologizing gone too far and that's all it is

Yeah this shit is retarded, Im afraid of spiders irl but in video games I never felt anything

The problem is people use disability or inability to cope as a way to feel "special." I'm scared of big spiders up close, but even I'm not retarded enough to freak out over a picture on a screen. And I question that anybody legitimately is.

"Arachnophobes" people are fake.
I have arachnophobia but I've never got scared of spiders in videogames, maybe I got jumpscared or felt creeped out but I was never so filled with crippling fear that I couldn't function.

There's like five games in the last 20 years that have an arachnophobia mode.

There are like maybe a total of 10 spiders out of fucking thousands that can even bite humans, let alone envenom them.
