I knew a guy with bad arachnophobia so he got a realistic-looking tattoo of a spider on his arm. It really did help him get over it but for a bit there he was scared of his own arm

I'm scared of real spiders too but I just don't get being scared of ones in games lol. They're not real and more importantly can't bite me.

one time my ex ran out of the bathroom shrieking that there was a spider in there, it's florida so weird bugs are always gonna get in no matter what.

naked but armed with a chancleta I assumed it was some common house spider, I couldnt find it anywhere in our tiny cramped bathroom until I looked above the door and found out south florida has fist sized black widow spiders. just lost control of my body and dropped the sandal and somehow my legs ran me out the door before I could think and I screamed like a girl.

came back in wearing a parka+mask hazmat suit in 80 degree weather and a giant bottle of RAID and I ended that bitch

When I was like 3 or 4 years old visiting my aunt in the Dominican Republic I went to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and there was this insanely gigantic tarantula sitting on the toilet paper roll and I ended up being terrified of spiders for about a decade or two. I'm mostly okay with them now but still not crazy about em.

Gonna kill Queelag tonight, wish me luck

the summer after graduating from college i was back in my parents' house. i walked up from my bedroom in the basement to the garage at like 3am to get a drink and there was a giant rear end spider on the floor. i hit it with a broom and it exploded into hundreds of tiny little spiders and i fell halfway down the stairs trying to run away in panic

I even get why people avoid media with weirdly specific things, everyone has their poo poo, it's saying that the media is a slight against the disabled that's beyond the pale to me.

my favorite is when they say it's impossible for them to react fast enough to stuff that's fairly slow and telegraphed and it's like. you wouldn't be able to handle dressing yourself or eating with that delayed of a reaction lol. you're just bad at games which isn't a disability.

People joke about Battletoads being a notoriously difficult game, but they wouldn't if they knew that, for me, it was the first in a series of virtual aggressions and indignities that would come to be characterized as "my life"

[game journalist staring at a pdf menu of Joes Spicy Tacos, home of the worlds spiciest tacos™] The lack of accessibility options for people with ulcers is problematic, to say the least. And if the only response you ahve to this is "go to a different loving restaurant you malding little freak", maybe youre the-- wait a minute, all the tacos have TORTILLAS?! when CELIACS EXIST?!?
