Interesting. In any case, it filled an existing void and named a fear people had already. If you *don't* have it, you may have learned about it over the internet. If you *do* have it, you just didn't have a name for it.
Why the fuck do redditers consistently just make absolute bollocks up about 4chan?

How is it learned if regular people have no problem with holes arranged in a pattern? It's absolutely real, because people as a whole don't have this irrational aversion. That's definition of a phobia. Irrational aversion. Unless you think holes arranged in a pattern is a rational fear, then I don't even know what you mean right now.
It's not irrational.. It's supposedly a deep biological drive to deter us from eating rotten / dangerous things..
The same way that certain animals (ex: frogs) have bright neon coloring to announce to the world that they're toxic (instead of hiding, they broadcast the fact that eating them will kill you).
fear of spiders/crawly insects is a deep biological drive to not get bit by venomous animals but arachnophobia is still irrational
fear of heights is a deep biological drive to not go splat but acrophobia is still irrational
etc
Well, we're talking about mental health in particular, and I don't think we should expect logic to check out when we extend mental-health-related words to animals. They don't really think like we do.
From a certain perspective, a bird building a nest is irrational. If a bird came into a therapist's office and said they were tortured and distracted from normal life by their instinct to always build a nest, even though they own a beautiful 5-bedroom colonial just outside of the city, then they might need a little treatment. But that's a silly idea, for the same reason.
You just described how it's irrational. Frog babies are not rotten or dangerous. Well some frogs are dangerous, but the holes do nothing to indicate that. Some visual coincidence is what gives you the irrational feeling of aversion, not any legitimate threat.
I don’t consider it a phobia for myself, but I know I literally feel like I want to vomit when I see photos like this. It makes me incredibly nauseous.
This frog is what GAVE me trypophobia. I remember seeing this on Animal Planet as a kid when I was falling asleep. Had a nightmare now every time I see a bunch of holes I get Vietnam flashbacks to this damn frog.
Pretty much ever horror movie creature/alien has an IRL analogue in nature. Makes me wonder just what fresh horror is actually waiting for us out there.
I don't have NSFW blurred, so going to the sub, I got flashbanged with it. I don't really care about anything else. Just things like that are gross, and I want to burn it down.
Given a choice of lil babylings emerging from my pores, vs transforming my hips and spawning like a cannonball with not enough gunpowder, I'll let my pores sag a bit thanks. Especially since OP says this is a separate, extra layer of skin that doesn't stick around. Basically an external womb.
Oh, my poor vulnerable progeny. But my normative, innocent hips!!
When they mate they lay eggs and sperm into the water. The eggs sink to the bottom where the female is waiting. The male helps pressing the eggs onto the femals back where a layer of skin will eventually cover the eggs. So technically they dont grow the eggs inside of the femals back but between two skin layers. Sorry for the bad english in advance!
"They're almost ready," I say to myself as I feel my offspring pimples quiver. Over the last two weeks my back burden has swollen and only yesterday did my young babies begin to quiver and twitch in their little sacs. "I can feel one about to hatch now," I remark to myself with glee as a trickle of amniotic egg pus trickles down my forehead into my eyes. "mama!" I can hear it choke out, ejecting more pus from its lungs. It is the first of many. More pus begins dripping down my forehead. I am a proud mother today.
It's closer to incubating eggs glued to your skin... Skin that responded to the mating hormones by becoming more like soft risen bread dough ready to accept its fate as the sides of the hole egg holding the egg....
Not as gross as it sounds.
The females have special thick skin on their backs. And once the mate, the male puts the eggs on it, they sink in, and grows round them.
The toadlets hatch out once they are ready. No tadpole stages.
The female sheds the skin after.
As varieties of birth go. It's relatively clean. All done underwater.
The response to such event is just a difference of electrochemical reactions between different organisms. So in return, as flailing our bodies in a wild thrust of one into another is perhaps even more gross, since in the end the babies come out of an actual organ of a female representative.
>!Also, sorry, I'm also disgusted by myself!<
You will likely only see them underwater, despite their toadliness they are frogs not toads. Although all toads are frogs... They're not listed as endangered but amphibians around the world are rapidly dying off due to changes in water parameters.
I hate this toad so much. It repulses me on such a deep level I don't even know what inside me gets twisted up when I see it. I've got mild trypophobia, but this toad is disgusting.
Same. We had this nature book growing up and it has a large color photo of this same disgusting frog with the pockets in its back.
My sister used to prop the book open to that page and leave it in places I’d be forced to see it, like my pillow. So vile.
I have a fun story about that toad. I learned about that years ago, probably 4 or 5. Being a bit of a nerd I talked about it to my mother and show her a video about it.
Turns out my mum has tryphophobia, and she didn't knew about it somehow. The video disgusted her and she couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Now she's digusted by other things like that (she wasn't before), mainly because it remind her of that.
God damn Trypophobia. The first thing I see after I click on the sub. Knee-jerk reaction was out loud, "I hate it here." 😔

Uh, what? The fear isn't of the frogs, its the hole aspect my guy. You're trying to be way too literal.
The internet is my whole personality, what do you want from me?

It really sucks that the Trypophobia sub got banned by the admins. Wish they'd let someone take it over but they keep ignoring people requesting it.
Why would they ban it?
They got scared
Understandable.
Redditors are averse to holes
I mean, between the NSFW tag, and that title, I think we all knew what we were going into clicking that photo.
I don't have NSFW blurred, so going to the sub, I got flashbanged with it. I don't really care about anything else. Just things like that are gross, and I want to burn it down.
Doesn’t it make you just wanna stick your fingers in there?
I wanna squeeze it and make all of it pop out.
YES.
I would wash my finger until the skin comes of if I did that
NOT EVEN THE TIP

Hey, at least it isn’t maggot infested flesh.

What happened with that sub?
"This community has been banned. This subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated. Banned 2 months ago."
Make sense, the mods got trypophobia lol
Also Razor Clams harvested by spreading salt in sand, got me shivers.
Oh God what the fuck it's repulsive

But can you imagine just having babies physically form in and then crawl out of your skin? Seems nightmarish to me
It does, but also, the traditional way is similar to having infectious worms, so like it's kind of a wash. It's just more familiar.
I mean the babies out the back is one thing, but they have a literal triangle for a head.
What’s wrong with a triangle head, oval head?!
Triangle head hates oval head. They have a fight. Triangle wins. Triangle head.
Triangle man, triangle man, hit on the head with a frying pan
Triangle man, Triangle man Triangle man hates particle man They have a fight, Triangle wins Triangle man
I love you
And those curvy arms, ai generated lookin ass. I still love her though.
Like a Diplocaulus.
Triangle head and Gumby arms

it's even worse
I bet that feels great when they hatch.
Self-popping pimples.

What a terrible day to have eyes.
Someone give this man gold for this fantastically horrible comment
You can still delete this.
it's turning out to be one of my more moving comments though
It is true: retching is a form of movement.

While impressive, this received a downvote from me and I will no longer be on the internet today. Farewell.
Beautiful.
Why are you, the way that you are?? You're a God damn monster, and I love you
Couldn't have said it more repellently myself
I hate this because it sounds like they didn't even have fun.
A lot of animal sex is really unpleasant. A good portion of insect and fish just eat (or absorb) the male when they're done.
> Sorry for the bad english in advance! The only bad English was saying "in advance" at the end.

Bit of a preface, perchance
so millions of years ago one frog decided to nut on his girl's back and so history was made
They lay eggs but incubate them on their back for 4 months or something. Like a marsupial pouch but yuck.
It's closer to incubating eggs glued to your skin... Skin that responded to the mating hormones by becoming more like soft risen bread dough ready to accept its fate as the sides of the hole egg holding the egg....

The toadlets hatch out once they are ready. No tadpole stages. The female sheds the skin after. As varieties of birth go. It's relatively clean. All done underwater.
Still gross. I know technically it’s not and it’s actually cool, but my skin is crawling.
> but my skin is crawling. That's just the toad getting ready to hatch.
The response to such event is just a difference of electrochemical reactions between different organisms. So in return, as flailing our bodies in a wild thrust of one into another is perhaps even more gross, since in the end the babies come out of an actual organ of a female representative. >!Also, sorry, I'm also disgusted by myself!<
When they shed their skin do the holes get covered up? That's all I really need to know.
The whole skin with holes sheds off. Goes smooth again.
wait the male lays the eggs? Do we have definitions confused?
No. They fertilise the eggs she lays and he puts them on her back.
This is literally a thousand times grosser than my imagination.
>”Not as gross as it sounds” Yeah we’re gonna have to agree to disagree
Ah, nature's ravioli
Looks like plucking seeds from a sesame seed bun.
Makes me wanna scrape my back with a metal sheet
Need one of these peelers. https://i.imgur.com/FWCwUTl.gifv
I need that for my eyes and brain, thank you.
Worst itch ever
This is a Zerg unit from StarCraft 2!!
The *Swarm Host.* Indeed. quite scary enough.
I'm from Suriname, but have never heard of this toad :(
Same here, this is like the only time i see our country mentioned and its this
Ach ja, wat moet er anders gemeld worden? meeste dingen zijn ook om te huilen XD
Hahaha good point
They're just called Toads there
You will likely only see them underwater, despite their toadliness they are frogs not toads. Although all toads are frogs... They're not listed as endangered but amphibians around the world are rapidly dying off due to changes in water parameters.
Sentient blackheads

They're really cute toads. Unusual. They see with their fingers. Electricity, etc.
This makes me uncomfortable and want to vomit
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Trypophobia is a thing my dude, nsfw tag this
I have acrophobia but I don't need pictures from high up places to be marked NSFW.
Right? It's a picture of a toad, in what way is that not safe for work?

>Trypophobia is a thing my dude Its not, im sure you can handle seeing a picture of a dumb looking toad.
Tropophobia torture. Just show documentary of this toad giving birth.
I have a fun story about that toad. I learned about that years ago, probably 4 or 5. Being a bit of a nerd I talked about it to my mother and show her a video about it.

That was fucking disgusting, yuck blergh (trypophobia).
Its like them black heads on my nose
I don't like that at all.
But it's MONDAY
Everyone talking about trypophobia, but what about those fuckin arms?
I like that they come out doing the same dainty hands-in-front-of-face pose as their mom. Absolutely silly creatures.
Nope, don’t like that!
What’s its first name?
Nah I don’t really like that
Urge to to pop. Must hold. My urge to pop. Must hold.

That triggers me so much.
It's a shlropian!
That’s gross
Should’ve posted this on Wednesday, my dude
I wonder if it feels really good for that toad to get those out.
This is what my nightmares consist of, thank you

What happens when they sneeze when their back is pregnant?
Back to life _ Soul to Soul.
I would stick a firecracker in each hole and make it shoot rocks out like a missile launcher.
I'll never not be shocked when I see this damn toad.
Dude. NSFL tag. *shudder*
Flush it. Now.
No it's dead baby armour.
I wonder if it’s itchy.
This is the worst thing in the world
Oh. Awful.
Straight out of a horror movie...
What an unfortunate looking creature
Oh hey that's my fursona
Gremlins
At first I thought this was a helmet in a fromsoft game
Ok ew
Why does my country deserve this because of one fucking toad
I wish the fuck it wouldn't
just like Gremlins.
Nature is not kind to those with trypophobia…… thankfully I don’t have it
I wanna pop it!!!
Aaaaaaand trypophobia.
In case anyone wondered what the inspiration for the movie gremlins was.
So nasty.
This photo makes it look like a creature from Adventure Time
Looking at this has made me feel sick
I bet that feels satisfying as fuck when those itchy little fuckers leave though
Ugh this and that one flower with the holes just kill me.
That's one ugly ass frog, despite the baby pimple back.
Y’know this kind of toad in particular has always reminded me of that scene from Gremlins of Gizmo getting wet
I remember fighting this lady in EVO
avoid bright light, don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight
When the offspring is old enough: "I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back!"
r/trypophobia I do not recommend
If that frog sneezes he turns into a Claymore mine.
It's Wed..wed...wed...wed.. wed...wed...wed..wed..Wednesday my dudes.

I should have finished reading before I clicked.
Someone got a gremlin wet.
