Yes it is, they were playing up that one plant that has the round indentations on flower pod thing. Anything with clumps of pustules on skin that look like round balls has always been photoshops of actual photos and are intentionally made to be gross, much like blue waffle. It's hard to find anything like that in nature as well, pustules don't tend to clump up and push things out of your skin, they're full of pus and can pop and that's gross, but I've never heard of a disease that's real that triggers supposed trypophobia.It’s not exaggeration. Trypophobia is one of the things I unironically caution people against looking up because it triggers some caveman sleeper agent switch in you. Tumblrites crying about “muh tw!!! seeing X literally makes me go into a panic attack!!” chimp out when it comes to things such as snakes, needles, blood etc. I can believe someone has a legit serious phobia of those things, but not to the extent where simply seeing a picture of it causes hyperventilation and PTSD like these people claim.
Everyone has trypophobia, it’s hard wired into our instincts because of disease and poison like others mentioned. If you aren’t affected by it, you’re the outlier. But of course tumblrites don’t want to be the same as everyone, they want to be outliers, that’s why their trigger lists contain retarded shit like “the color blue, American flag, apples.” I hate the TW trend so fucking much but when it comes to trypophobia I make an exception.
I don't have the made up phobia because I'm not a pussy despite the uncanny valley feeling of the photoshopped pics. It's amazing what psychosomatic fears you can instill in people.
Trigger warnings are for pussies and even modern day psychological medicine thinks they're bad.
