Vagina Dentata[]
So by the whole "vagina" thing, is that supposed to represent the rebirth of Josh? Because I'd always call them "vaginafaces" when playing the game.
Also... has anyone ever seen the movie "Teeth" xD? —Jiyanamiki 06:11, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
I'd say so, the whole movie is heavily centred around rebirth, from the nurses to the way Josh died itself. When I played the game, usaully called them stalkers XXkamoXx 02:08, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
Symbolism[]
Let me make this explicit: By NO means is this supposed to be an edit war. I'm merely starting a discussion on what the creature represents.
"The mouth of the Lurker, as with the Split Worm, is reminiscent of 'vagina dentata suggesting Alex possibly suffers from a fear of the female genitals. Considering how Alex has been hospitalized in a mental hospital for four years and separated from girls, this strongly implies he is a virgin, unfamiliar with the female reproductive organs."
WHERE exactly is it proven that the above description is NOT what the monster represents?! If you were SO against this paragraph, why not remove it back in the past when THOUSANDS of users were making shit up? Why do it NOW of all times?
NOTHING that is posted here will chang my views. I'm not budging and will not until and unless some substantial evidence is provided to prove the above wrong.
And so, I shall add the paragraph to the symbolism section until such point as a staff member can generate concrete evidence for removing it.
Let me ask: Can YOU generate concrete evidence that it is what the creature represents? To claim someone has no/little knowledge of feminine organs just because they were hospitalized is absolutely ludicrous. ╟_Ωzz… t a l k 04:43, September 2, 2017 (UTC)
Oh, good. So "to claim someone has no/little knowledge of feminine organs just because they were hospitalized is absolutely ludicrous". Well then, why wasn't this posted IN THE PAST when THOUSANDS were edit warring this? Why bring it up now, in other words...?
And why stop there? Label those who are hospitalised in reality and lack knowledge of female genitals as "retarded". Tell me again, what makes this SO important that it's not until NOW that it was brought up?
Also. Google 'lurker analysis silent hill' and THIS is what you get:

I quote from this article:
"The mouth of the Lurker is reminiscent of vagina dentata, suggesting possible gynophobia."
Here's a second quote:

"...the vagina dentata-esque mouth of the Lurker..."
And I'm not saying the 'hospitalised' part wasn't half-arsed and 'ludicrious'; I'm merely insinuating 'quit it with this lol im so rite fark facts bullshit'.
Oh boy, fansites, must be right. Let's be honest: this entire series is highly open to interpretation, but that doesn't mean every interpretation should be accepted as worth being pondered over on this wiki. Some are extremely far-fetched.
And this wiki is constantly evolving for the better; those who are actually interested in making this wiki a reliable place to gather information gradually learn what is best for it. Even if it was brought up in the past, that doesn't make it right. There is just so little basis for this theory. ╟_Ωzz… t a l k 04:03, September 4, 2017 (UTC)
