The disturbing recent trend among social justice warriors to attribute any attitude or behaviour that they don’t like in other people as if it resulted from a diagnosable mental illness. Examples include the pejorative use of labels such as homophobia and Islamophobia.
Shaming people for their fears is shameful
The implication is that sufferers of such “phobias” are weak, inferior people who should simply change their attitude by snapping out of their irrational fear.
This is demeaning to people who suffer from actual phobias, which in fact are no easier to fix, improve or change than a person’s sexual orientation or deeply held religious beliefs.
