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)

Girls are terrified of spiders, never managed to figure out if it's some sociatally enforced pantomime that they indulge in or if they are actually that pathetic...but it's certainly a thing.

I expect if I was that worried by something I would think that would make a kick ass baddie in a game...can't get you can it? But what would I know I'm sane?

Oh by the way I'm from a country with no dangerous spiders...if you live in Australia then you have every right to be scared of spiders.

Well that shows a certain amount of fear doesn't it? :)

I just leave spiders alone, they are fine....my wife is one of those women I was talking about 'kill it kill it'...sorry the best you are getting is a bottle and out the door.

Why is it pathetic to be afraid of spiders?

Because they pose no threat...what do you think fear is for?
