Trypophilia and Trypophobia: A Picture Thread? (Not exactly NSFW but some deeply disturbing images in here)

yeah

*organ drone, rudimentary drum machine* "harlequin baby, yeah. yeah yeah yeah. harlequin baby. it's a harlequin baby. yeah."

GONNA KILL US AAAAAALL

(ppppp)

harlequin bé-by

(repeat)

wait is this about fear of holes (as google informs me trypophobia is) or just really porous stuff?

google tells me it's "the irrational fear of clusters of holes, pods, circles, cracks, cuts, and other asymmetrical shapes especially those found in nature," so there ya go.

it's not a medically recognized phobia though. most likely it's a dedicated troll trying to start an internet meme. someone's been creating Wikipedia entries about it since 2005, but they keep getting deleted. in the words of some Wiki dudes:

Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. See http://www.geocities.com/holephobia/trypophobia.html for someone purporting to have invented this name in 2005. No evidence in Google Scholar for any actual phobia known by this term.

---

Delete. Likely hoax and borderline patent nonsense: "Trypophobia is a serious fear of hole, which results in an all-over itchy feeling and general uneasyness." Google search seems to indicate a pattern of trolling: petitions to dictionaries to include the word, posts to answers.yahoo.com, attempts to insert the word (together with shock site images) in the World of Warcraft forums.

elsewhere on the internet are trypophobia.com, an ilxor.com thread by someone named "Jesse", and this surprisingly active facebook group,led by a certain M@sai Andr3ws, where people are like "omg I've been scared of Suriname toads and wasps' nests for as long as I can remember, finally I have a word for it!"

lolololol

oh FUCK you guys and your harlequin babies

xxxpost: thanks for clearing it up

xxpost: Strange, I actually remember visiting that Stanford philosophy page on holes years ago, but I have absolutely no idea how or why I got there or why I was reading it.

same here haha

seem to remember it was longer then too

If you all really want to freak yourselves out then try GISing 'smallpox'. Will make you glad that shit has been eradicated.

It should be a real phobia though because lord knows I certainly have it. Only this part though: the irrational fear of clusters of holes, pods, circles . . . found in nature.

while on the train back home today I thought about grady's painting of the boy cutting off the lotus pods, and my right arm has felt tingly for the past hour or so

smallpox seems not as bad because they are bumps and not holes, and plus you can't get it anymore, whereas that pitted K thing up there, you can get that from just wearing boots in the winter, fukk

Yeah, that was seriously one of the worst things I've ever seen. I would send that to a friend who shares this issue but I think she'd puke on the spot.

trypophilia

Yeah, most of these are pretty neat to me (didn't mind the arm-pods either), but I can't join the trypophiles because the one or two pics with squishy goopy stuff visibly oozing beneath/through holes were as shiver-inducingly horrible to me as I guess all the others are to the real phobics. Brr.

Does this belong here?

woah.

(didn't mind the arm-pods either)

Just reading that made me shiver.

The screaming fish pic pretty awes imo.

I've been away b/c I couldn't stomach this thread for a few days. Then I come back and see that ARM POD GUY WTFFFFFUCKING FUCK??A;D;AFILJDA;FA;F. Why would someone make that????

It reminds me of the scene in Antichrist where Defoe's character wakes up with ticks all over his arm. Fucking awful.

OK, I looked at that porn pic and I wonder if that's real.

zooming in on top poop hole reveilles bad ps work.

The crazies who have that thing as a pet also seem to keep roaches as pets so there you go.

it looks like it rolled around in a bowl of kix

I got confused by the cereal posted in between the vid and your comment for a second there. It does! I used to love kix. Totally fine with that other cereal. That frog can go die. That said, it's equally amazing as it is gross to me.
