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

Those crochet-looking fractals are pretty neat. And I do think that if people who love high-end stereo equipment can call themselves an audiophile (and conversely audiophobes for those who hate/have an irrational fear of hi-fi) then there's no reason one cannot self-label as a trypophile. This thread is drenched in philia rather than phobia anyway.

WmC or some mod somewhere, could you change the title of this thread to Tripophilia already?

hahaaaaa, I thought about doing that last night

The accepted name for the phobia is trypophobia. Since there's no such phobia or word as tripophilia, it would be too confusing. What's the importance of the name change? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

There's no such word as trypophobia either, in any dictionary I can find. "Phobia" does not accurately or fully cover the range of reactions in this thread.

well see, there are people who are so deathly afraid of perforated horrors that they'd never in a million years be able to look at the stuff in this thread. they're trypophobics!

and there are people who are so cuckoo for holey puffs that they can't stop looking. we're trypophilics!

there's no such phobia or word as tripophilia

So, ...there's no such phobia...as tripophilia....

airtight argument.

I think this thread title is a Solomonic compromise.

Anyway, back to the holes

The toad doesn't have holes, it has clusters of eggs on its back. The eggs are absorbed by the mother's back. When they hatch, then they leave holes.

As far as the word trypophobia is concerned, it is in the urban dictionary. The administrator of the group in Facebook is working on getting it into the Oxford dictionary since there are so many people who suffer from trypophobia (over 4,000 in the FB group alone) and there are whole slew of triggers. You all know that if you google trypophobia, you get hundreds of hits. I tried googling tripophilia, and the only thing I got was a couple of YouTube videos in Spanish.

I realize that I'm not the most liked person in this group, constantly being attacked, the latest of which I've been referred as an acid head. You guys need to grow up and stop with the finger pointing and name calling. I've had trypophobia probably before you all were born and when most of you were all just a gleam in your daddies' eyes. So please stop with the amateur diagnoses. There are varying degrees of trypophobia, from mild to severe. Just because I post a large number of photos, it doesn't mean that I'm not trypophobic. I just like posting photos, and have no ulterior motive. So please stop picking on me!

are buff and max aware of you being a tripophiliac

Lady, you've basically done the equvalent of walking into a busy bar and waving masses of photos and shouting HEY CHECK OUT THESE GROSS PHOTOS OF THINGS WITH HOLES BOY HOWDY DO I HATE THINGS WITH HOLES IN THEM I REALLY HATE THEM LOOK AT THEM I WILL JUST LEAVE SOME ON EACH TABLE HERE FOR U TO LOOK AT HEY STOP THROWING BEER AT ME WTF IS WRONG WITH U PPL

lolll

OK, I'm leaving this thread .... bye!

;_; I didnt throw that much beer

I've had trypophobia probably before you all were born

dying @ this

Typophobia? Done it meself! 20 years man and boy... 'ardest game in the world.

"do you like frank sinatra?"

can't believe the totally real ilx poster buffandmaxsmom is leaving

What a disaster for buff and max

max will do ok, he's an internet celeb - i'm worried about the shy and seldom-seen ilx poster buff. this may push him over the edge to pretend-suicide!

bye! buffandmaxsmom

Here's a going away present for all you rude assholes. Enjoy!!

(that shredded-hand picture again)

holey shit

not even holes tbh

i was guessing, i was never going to look.

<3

The shredded hand is considered a repetitive pattern, which is part of trypophobia

also

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

Here's a going away present for all you rude assholes. Enjoy!!

hahaha I was going to quote that same thing omino

onimo

I dare to say you will have to do better than that, buffwoman. You are being particularly rude for someone who waltzes in here and gets all the space to live out her obsession. You may be a hole-lover, but for god's sake show some class.

as a 22 yr old swimwear model, i am going to request that all you horny guys send me on your credit card info

not an asshole-lover apparently

:-D

maybe if it was a whole bunch of assholes all in one place (oh wait)

haha

Shouldn't WALLOGINA.JPG own this thread btw?

Jesus is angry about this thread

IIRC wallogina is off of the internets

IIRC wallogina is off of the internets

fallogina RIP we hardly knew ye

(Things can be removed from the Internets? Really? Like there aren't a thousand copies of wallogina scattered around the world?)

I hope you mean copies of pictures, because if there are thousands of actual walloginas we are pretty much done as dominant species
