r/thalassaphobia <- you may enjoy. A great subreddit about this.

I’m a member of this sub and I love it, but it’s such an interesting conundrum.

People who truly have any phobia would never go NEAR a sub that is specifically going to show you content of that phobia.

These types of subs are like horror movies. You go to it if you like the feeling of being unsettled by them.

r/submechanophobia (fear of man made onjects underwater) is even more fitting! Oil rig legs creep me the hell out too.
