To put it simply, give us a way to toggle off certain encounters in explore that would trigger a phobia for us, giving a blank/empty encounter instead of that rather than rerolling the encounter (see second question below). I'm deathly afraid of spiders, so every time the ogre spider encounter comes up I flinch (and I always seem to have the luck of getting the decor out of it that I then have to discard, which is more flinching, until I just started skipping the encounter).

I know it's a very simple thing, and most people would probably think of it as dumb, but it would be really nice not to have to worry over randomly feeling my heart stop because there's a spider on-screen.

If you're saying you don't support, please say why. This could really help some people and just saying "No" doesn't help.


::NOTES::
What would be toggable?
Phobias only, such as spiders or things like that. Things that would not be toggable would be carcass events, lioness encounters, empty/flavor text encounters, etc. because those aren't phobias. ONLY actual phobias and carcass phobias wouldn't count because bloodied/dead animals are such a huge core mechanic of the game, so removing those would be like removing random encounters in Final Fantasy; if you can't handle the core game mechanic, it might not be the game for you to play (sadly).

List of Phobias that could be blocked: (Feel free to suggest more)
-- Spiders (Arachnophobia)

What if people turn off everything to make rare encounters easier? (thanks to Spinzette)
That's an easy fix; just make blocked encounters give an empty one instead. Basically, let's say I turn off Spider encounters. If my encounter roll brings up the Ogre Spider, rather than reroll the encounter, it instead substitutes it with one of the empty encounters (like the "You pad along." one). The actual chances of encountering events doesn't change, it's just that when you get a blocked phobia encounter, it doesn't load that encounter and instead gives you one of the random non-encounter lines. The actual chances of each encounter thus remain the same.

If someone decides to turn off all the possible phobias to game the system, they would just get a lot of empty ones and no increased chance for rarer encounters. However, people with actual phobias would most likely not care about getting an empty encounter in exchange for not being made uncomfortable/ill by their phobia (like me! I'd rather ten empty encounters than three spider encounters).
