I don't follow sorry. Could you explain?

I was just making a silly joke and also trying to point out that genetic memory red in tooth and claw stuff is fucking weird.

Thats about as noble as me flopping off the top bunk of a toyhauler right into the floor.

You're talking about my daughter here. Tread softly.

Cute, but not noble. Mind ya my hounds are not noble in the slightest either.

I think that peacock spiders and related species can help people get past arachnophobia. They’re cute, they’re intelligent, and they have entertaining behaviors. The fact that they have the two large forward facing eyes makes them look less alien.

If you want to try exposure therapy for arachnophobia, they’re a great starting point imo.
