Patrick Klepek says games with spiders as enemies are not inclusive because some people are so afraid of spiders they can't play the game. No spider pics in article to avoid scaring them. (twitter.com)

What's that thing they tend to throw back at the gaming public when we complain about overly-intrusive political or LGBTOMGWTFBBQ references in a game? "Maybe this game just isn't made for you"?

Yeah, that's how I feel about them bitching about "spoopy spydars" in a game. I have a fear of heights. Like, vertigo-inducing, stomach drops through my feet, legs turn to Jell-O anxiety when I get too close to a ledge with no railing - and yet for some reason I have zero problem jumping from rooftops in Assassin's Creed, but I digress. Regardless, I don't play games that trigger that fear when I recognize it - like Mirror's Edge. Same thought process goes here - if someone is an arachnophobe, then maybe they shouldn't play the fucking game. Simple as that.

"Maybe this game just isn't made for you"?

Funny how they keep pulling this line after they've taken a game that WAS made for you in the first place.
