I don't reckon it's about spiders actually being dangerous; phobias are defined as an 'irrational' fear, as such that actual danger and fear are a little disconnected.WWmelb said:Spider-SNIP

I agree in actual cases of Arachnophobia , but i also think most people's fear of spiders is only a fear, and not actually a phobia.PieBrotherTB said:I don't reckon it's about spiders actually being dangerous; phobias are defined as an 'irrational' fear, as such that actual danger and fear are a little disconnected.WWmelb said:Spider-SNIP
Where did this happen?Rawne1980 said:I don't mind spiders in a game.
I do cringe a bit when I see real ones or realistic ones on TV/film.
I despise them in real life.
It's a relatively recent thing as well. To cut a long story short, out on ops when I was in the army (I was 23 at the time) and we had 45 minutes to kill. I decided to take a nap in the shade under the 4 tonner that was transporting us.
Woke up from a thud on my chest, looked down and very nearly emptied my bowels in terror.
Fucking Camel Spider staring right fucking at me.
Ugliest bastard thing i've ever seen.
Haven't liked Spiders since.
I find it odd that you find it odd that someone would do that, especially as you're fully aware of arachnophobia. In this world where literally anything and everything gets modded in and out of games for whatever reason (and sometimes for none at all), surely removing spiders makes a hell of a lot more sense than most mods out there?Koshok said:to me it seems a bit odd to remove such a large part of the atmosphere.

I'd like to know so I know which pages to tear out from all the atlases I own, just so I never visit the place.
