I saw there is already a phobia thread, BUT it is NOT the same as this one. That one received lots of "no supports" because it skips the event entirely. I suggest a phobia toggle that only blocks the image, and not the event.

For example, I have arachnophobia and if I even think about spiders I start to physically itch. Therefore I usually need to avoid the Flood Pit, some events and some decor, and I can't avoid it all because they appear in random explore encounters and in other players' lions' decor. I love Lioden and I really want to keep playing and I would feel so much better if I could play without worrying! That also applies to many people who have fears of snakes, rats, scorpions or feel uneasy with the most "gore" type of decor, like maybe the zombie ones (these are just examples). To be fair, it would also work for something like the February event's encounters that make some people very uncomfortable. I couldn't play it with anyone close to me, I was so embarrassed

The phobia filter would work by blocking the visual part of the encounter/decor/icon, so if I block a spider decor, it won't show if a lion has it equipped and the icon also won't show (just like when our internet is slow and doesn't load the image and shows only the text for the title or maybe some text saying it was blocked). If I block an encounter that has a spider, like the nightmare spider from October's event, it blocks the art and I would just see the background or maybe the text again, but the encounter would still happen in the same way!

Please support this, it would make so many people feel better playing this. Please be empathetic and keep on mind not all people want or have the strength to face their fears and shouldn't be forced to. We should be able to play a game we love without being uncomfortable.

If you don't support this, please say why. And know that this wouldn't change AT ALL the gameplay and it would only affect the person who blocked the decor/encounter/icon.

Thank you for the attention.
