I've never heard anyone in my life having such a disorder. Did they run out of bogus genders and mental disorders that they need to invent new shit?
If only they understood what snowflake meant, they still think it is fragility.
I've known about the phobia for several years - back in the day it wasn't uncommon for people to post shoops of tits with lotus flower holes in them on 4chan's /b/ or /x/ boards just to skeeve people out. While I'll give the writer credit that holes where there aren't supposed to be holes can be unsettling, for it to be so triggering that you can't look at a damn sunflower without being triggered is just being mentally fragile. They need some exposure therapy and to learn to get over it.
Can kotaku look at a cheese grater without fainting like it's a soccer match.
Wait, millenials can't cook.
The sight of a species' genetics imploding, perhaps?
I've known of this of this phobia for 20+ years because of the fucking lotus boob chain email meme. It's mostly nonsense invented by attention whores looking for something interesting to say about themselves.
Regardless, 16% is a RIDICULOUSLY high number to claim.
I mean, it's a legitimate phobia...but I was unaware that phobias were now mental disorders
It's like the fear of heights - it's not a phobia, it's just one of those generic fears built into us for the sake of survival. The going theory is it's an evolutionary adaptation for detecting disease or parasites.
