Please watch how you word things on the internet. It's hard to understand what kind of tone is beinging used. I understand this is your opinion but some people have disorders that have just been named. There hasn't been enough time to put them in dictionaries. Please just keep your opinions about mental illness or phobias on your own page and out of people's comments. Some people feel attacked when others when people kinda diss their disorder. thank you.

Public comments, snowflake.:lol:

If you don't like it don't allow comments in the first place. Just block the person and move on. Really tired of the policing based on feelings on publicly accessible platforms. I think everyone was better off back when private message boards and smaller communities were the norm. You could easily cloister yourself if you wanted to.

I doubt that so many people have trypophobia. It's become a trend. If they actually had such a crippling phobia then they couldn't even go outside what with all the grates, benches, meshes, fences and everyday tools and products that have holes for functionality or decoration. Your life would be hell 24/7 and I'd think that going on the internet and being exposed to things with holes in them without warning at every possible click would send you into too many panic attacks.

But it doesn't do that because you aren't really affected.

PTSD has pretty much been colonized by snowflakes and has lost much of it's meaning. You've got people thinking they have it from mean tweets or seeing a picture of an object with holes in it. I guess it's the same as being the victim of a violent crime, a natural disaster, a house fire or watching your war buddy's face be blown off five inches from your own.

So many ~triggered~ tumblrinas in the comments....

That looks so tasty. I actually like little holes in things as a decoration. Plus in some foods it ads an airy crunch or springiness. Are they aware even things like bread or spongecake have tiny little hols. But most of the time you don't notice because they are small. In fact, there are tiny porous holes in so many things. Even your own skin. Are they aware of this? Does it bother them? Someone with a real phobia would obsess over these thoughts and it would drive them mad.

So has anybody made a horror movie about this already?
It's prominent in the new American Horror Story. One of the lead character's, who is supposed to be sort of a light caricature of a radical lefty, "suffers" from "Trypophobia", and breaks down any time she see's something with holes. It is a recurring theme whenever something is about to go wrong.
I can't say I recommend the show though, I only watch it because my girlfriend likes it.

I need the recipe for that good shit - to trigger more tumblrinas, at least.

EDIT:
Recipe:

Base (TOFFEE):
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
1/3 Cup Water
1 Tbsp. Baking Soda

Darck Chocolate dip (OPTIONAL):
Dark Chocolate
Sea Salt/Maldon Salt

ESSENTIAL:
Candy Thermometer

1) Line a 9 inch baking tray with parchment paper and grease thoroughly.
Set aside a metal whisk and 1 Tbsp. of Baking Soda.

2) In a LARGE saucepan (bigger the better - as this will more than triple in size) over medium/high heat - combine sugar, corn syrup, and water.
Stir to incorporate then leave to boil. Insert candy thermometer and continue to heat - without stirring - until the mixture reaches 300˚F (150˚C).

3) Remove from heat and - working quickly - add the baking soda and quickly whisk into the sugar syrup (whisking for no more than 5 seconds - to prevent deflating the toffee). The mixture will begin to expand, quickly pour it into the prepared pan and leave to set DO NOT MOVE for 1-2 hours.

4) Once the toffee has cooled and set, remove from pan and using a blunt object, shatter the toffee into bite size pieces. Melt Chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 75-90 Seconds - stopping to stir after every 30 seconds.

5) (OPTIONAL) Dip the toffee pieces in chocolate and place on a lined baking tray. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and place in the refrigerator to cool for 15 minutes.

6) Enjoy (triggering an SJW/Tumblrfuck) today with this good shit!).

Let's hope they don't (or let's hope they do on camera) buy a Crunchie bar!

(These are very delicious. I suggest buying or making them.)

Honeycomb toffee triggers me because reasons reeeee

But in all seriousness I wonder the same about holey foods, candies, and the body having tissues that amount to fine sponges in terms of porous textures. If y really bothered them, I imagine they may try not to think about it as much to avoid having a panic meltdown.

No, it's because they can't see it so it doesn't affect them. It's not the concept of holes that bothers them. It's being able to see the holes that gets them. It's like have you ever cut yourself on something and you didn't really notice until you look at it and only then does it start to hurt? It's because it didn't really register with you before but now it does because you can see it.

And even then I've never seen anybody panic and run away from these things. No it's "ahhhh! I'm triggered!" followed by them turning away or scrolling past the image. They then feel kinda itchy and spent the next few minutes reacting to every tickle or itch as if it's an insect ready to bite them.

I was coming from the "we've all been shown hella hd pics of human skin and bone cross sections before" reason for not thinking about it and having that image come up, but fair enough.

The manga picture that got posted in here earlier (girl with all the holes in her skin) is what I think of when I think of this "phobia". If I recall right, there's a part in that manga where she's scraping maggots out of the holes. I just remember the sound effects of *scrape, scrape* and.. Bleh.

It's not as vomit-inducing as cordylobia anthropophaga infections in animals though. That's some real "holes in the skin" shit.

Considering how people people on Tumblr claim to have a million and one mental illnesses, I'm suprised more of them don't like gross stuff with holes in them. Because of my OCD, I love seeing videos of vets squeezing mangoworms out of animal's skin. Liking videos like that is a common symptom of autism as well, and I'm sure at least half of these fucks say they're autistic

A coworker was passing around one of those mangoworm videos on his phone to creep everyone out. I thought it was super satisfying to watch and I felt happy for the poor dog to have all those nasties out of its skin.

But yeah, when they do close-ups and start squeezing blood out of the holes, it gets a bit much. I don't blame people for being creeped out by things like that, but a sponge or a strawberry or something is just silly.

I agree, it's satisfying in the way that popping/cyst removals are satisfying. I guess that's my :autism: talking.

But as people earlier have said in the thread, an aversion (not phobia) of holes is probably evolution at work to help us avoid eating maggot-infested meat or being bitten/stung/etc. by angry fauna.

Do we have a citation for the autism thing?
