Emetophobia - Pirates sick

    Hello !
    There was another thread, written by "Nyxiria" but it's locked now.
    I live with Emetophobia, which is a common phobia nowadays.
    I would love to be able to turn off "those" sounds and graphics from the game. Maybe with an Accessibility option.
    I suggest (like "RealStyli" said in the other thread)

    • To replace that sound, with a laughing sound for example,
    • Replace the color with, maybe a bright pink color, or something not natural.
    • Remove animation of getting sick or move it to the side or above so it's not coming from the pirate themselves.

    For now, i can't really play the game, because i feel anxious when i eat something because of a missclic, or when i meet someone who might have a GrogBall.

    Some other games have options for phobias, such as Katsaridaphobia or Arachnophobia for example, and i really like Sea of Thieves !

    @tyrossi while i honestly do feel for people suffering from this phobia I personally wouldn’t call something that is present in only about 0.1% of the entire population common.

    If Rare is able to make a change quite easily i would certainly say go right ahead but taking into consideration with how little amount of people are inflicted with this specific phobia that it wouldn’t really be on the radar

    I thought it was more common than 0,1% !! I Read something about it some years ago but maybe not that right ? So yes ok, but Katsaridaphobia isn't that common neither ^^
    I would say, that's not something people like to hear or see generally, i guess. So it could be a good option for "normal" people too !

    (Sorry for my poor english)
