Piraticaphobia

Piraticaphobia (Pronounced Per-ridi-ca Phobia) (From the latin term, "Piratica" meaning "Piracy") is the fear of anti-piracy and/or error screens. It may be caused by seeing too much disturbing anti piracy videos on YouTube. When encountering an anti piracy screen, sufferers may scream, sweat, have an increased heart rate, rapidly breath and even close their eyes. Mild sufferers of this phobia may simply avoid looking at anti piracy screens, mid sufferers will avoid pirating media, while severe sufferers will not play video games, sleep with the light off, and even avoid looking at text. Sadly, there is no cure for this phobia. However, it can be (kind of) treated while thinking about positive thoughts.

Most Anti-Piracy screens are fanmade, so they won't appear in most games.
