The title is self-explanatory and a forum search pulled up nothing.

My suggestion if for the spider species Latrodectus cinctus or the Button Spider. They are found in Southern Africa regions. They are known in North America as Black Widows.

Button Spider images



This suggestion has 116 supports and 14 NO supports.

It could be a possibility to have have a toggle on. Plus I got over my fear by exposure. But its not fair to use that find spiders fascinating as well.

if the site had an arachnophobia mode i would have no problem with that, but there are ppl that cannot get over that fear and have physical symptoms like me, i know some, and idk i just think we shouldnt make life harder for ppl with phobias that they cant control or couldnt get over yet

I have arachnophobia (blame watching the movie with of the same name in my childhood for that), doesn't mean I don't like certain visual aspects of spiders.

I mean, despite the fact that I would probably panic when one would actually be near me, I still think jumping spiders are cute visually

I'm kinda in the middle of support and no support.
I think this is a good idea, but I doubt it's good enough for it to be added into the game.
A lot of ppl I know have arachnophobia and quite a few of them also play this game. Most of them have never been scared of the spiders in-game because they know they're just fake spiders on a screen.
But I do agree that a toggle button would be useful for this.
I think that exposure is a good way to overcome fears.
I used to have siderodromophobia (phobia of trains/train tracks). One day my dad and I were going on a trip and we had to go on a train, which I was NOT happy about. But after we were on the train, I overcame my fear and I am much less afraid of trains now. I also doubt I'd be scared if there was a train in Lioden lol.

i believe there is an option to block specific markings, lions, and content within the game (helpful for triggers and photosensitivity)

i totally understand if people have triggers or fears and i 100% respect that but i suggest you use an image blocker, there may be some guides here in chatter? not entirely sure, i’ve only heard about it a couple times

for people who are into spiders and other bugs, i want you to still be enthusiastic about them, without accidentally triggering other people <3

theres plenty of sensitive content in the game and i know adding more may make it harder for others but i’d like people to share their interests freely!

Personally I support! Find spiders very interesting. There are several ways for people who either have a fear of spiders or just dislike them to avoid the imagery, so I don't see why that would even be an issue.

No support, I feel like the game needs more beetle species before they get more nemeses and should probably get more popular and well known bugs added in the game. If there was gonna be a spider in the genus added to the game, I'd probably want it to be Latrodectus mactans (Black widow) instead. My personal opinion

Honestly, I personally don't like spiders, but I think they would be cool!

Devyn.. they said it was the black widow though, they just had a different name for them. The Latrodectus has a few sub species (from what my research says), but are still known as black widows
