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

It was unknown to me that there is a maximum amount of photos to be posted in this thread. If there is, I'd like to know that information. I still feel that I was treated unfairly, since I had no information or guidelines to go by. If someone would point out where that is written, I will read it and bookmark it for my future use.

U got banned because people said oh hey stop posting super gross stuff and you responded with oh yeah u can't silence me and posted even grosser stuff which if you are being fair is pretty much a full asshole move.

It's cool now tho as long as you don't come back all somethingawful.com I think we can all be copacetic etc

This is the logo from a band called "Disembowel" (cute!). I find it to be trypophobic and it skeeved me out a little.

I still would like to see guidelines as to what is deemed "gross," as most trypophobic images are in fact gross. That particular photo I posted (the hand) is in the facebook photo gallery and has not been deleted by the administrator of that group. It is considered a "repetitive pattern" or "cluster." Those are images considered to be trypophobic, as I am sure you all are aware of. The same goes for skin grafts. They are considered a repetitive pattern, and some trypophobes consider the image to contain "holes." Lastly, as a 63-year-old grandmother, I would appreciate that swear words such as "asshole" and "fuck you" not be used when writing a post directed at me. It's not necessary in order to get a point across. Thank you!!

Justen, are you the administrator of this group?

I mean, come on, there is a difference between an inanimate object with a series of holes, and a hand mutilated by a paper shredder. Surely you can realize this. Yes, skin grafts and melty faces are also gross, but somewhere there is a line and I guess enough people agree that mutilated hands crosses it.

just fyi A) first amendment does not actually grant you the right to say whatever you want to whomever you want with 0 consequences B) US federal and state censorship laws do not really apply to having your images on a message board modified; if you were contacted by authorities and told it was illegal to post gross pictures on a message board, that would be a slightly different story.

Stevie you're arguing with a 63 year old grandmother!!!

buff, this isnt a trypobia group. This is just a random thread about it on a generalist board. I dont know if you're aware.

Yeah, Stevie, don't argue with old ladies! Seriously, guys, let's drop it. I've been trypophobic before most of you were born, so I pretty much know what is and what is not trypophobic. That being said, let's move on.

buffandmaxsmom, are you freaked out by cheese graters?

Grrrr, the title on top of this page says, and I quote: "Trypophobia: (A Picture Thread?)"

bloomps: Of course not. Are you? Have you had a dream about your skin having a cheese grater pattern?

I'm freaked out by cheese graters, but more b/c I envision myself mishandling them than anything having to so repetitive patterns.

to do w/ repetitive patterns

How on earth could you mishandle a cheese grater? You'd have to be a real doofus to do that.

why didn't we destroy this thread when we had the chance

Thread lost its charm a while ago :(

i cannot believe that nobody has posted a picture of crumpets yet

i am eating some at the moment and they are nice although this thread is close to putting me off them

Oh don't worry, they have

I think every time I use a cheese grate I accidentally grind some skin off my knuckles.

I feel, however, that I am only part doofus (on my dad's side).

@free - Ouch! Buy the bagged grated cheese! How does your dad feel about having a doofus family?

@jumpskins - Here ya go

What's with the pics of Al Gore, the rocker, and what looks like a coach (with this hand on his head)? Are they trypophobic? Just curious.

OK, I had been going by the title of the page. A great majority of the photos are trypophobic images. That's why I was confused.

This thread is about trypophobia. It's on a general-interest board called I Love Everything. ILE is part of a collection of general and special interest boards called ILX. This thread is about trypophobia. There are several thousand other threads on ILX.

hey shit, welcome back!

please do not fuck me up with meat hands.

Yah what WmC said.

Yes, I saw the list of the other special interest groups. Since I've had trypophobia since I was a child (along with my sister), I now have the internet and can see how many others have it and what images skeeve people out. The facebook group has over 4,000 members. This group is more edgy, which is why I joined, and then I got tossed out. The offending photo is posted in the facebook trypo gallery, which contains over 2,000 photos. Anyway, very few people are offended by that photo. {I wasn't the one who posted it by the way.) There was a debate as to what caused the injury to the woman's hand. It was decided it was caused by a paper shredder. Since the facebook group is more conservative than this one, I was taken aback when people here complained about it. The only image that facebook forbids is nudity, which is why the "lotus boob" or "lotus testicles" are not allowed to be posted there. FYI, a number of trypophobes suffer from other underlying issues, such as anxiety disorders, OCD, ADD, depression, bipolar disorders, and others. Just sayin'.

It was decided it was caused by a paper shredder.

a sentence too far

i have the sense that this will go oddly. congrats whoever.

A trypophobic girl in Tumblr made this object to describe her trypophobia. She states that she would've made it "worse" but she decided she couldn't handle it.

Can I have a fake word about the fucked up feelings Little Dot gives me?

polkaphobia

polkaphobiaphilia

Even the dog has dots.

that lil pup totally gives me the heebie-jeebies

saw a surinam toad today! no young'ins in her back, though. (oh, this is ytth, not just1n3.)

do you live in The Republic of Suriname by any chance?

I googled Little Dot and it's an old comic book character (1949-1942) obsessed with dots and spots. I'm wondering if the guy who drew it had trypophobia and didn't realize it. Weird.

Well I'm not okay with stuff like "how do you wipe your ass" either but you know, ILX is a many-splendoured thing etc
