It can just mean an aversion to something. The definition isn't restricted to "fear". Photophobia isn't the fear of light, it's the aversion to light.

Instead of making it into an erroneous semantic battle, just take the word as the poster intends it. He's obviously talking about people who express that they don't like gays or make fun of gays. That's the point.

The acutal definition of photophobia is fear of light...but it is meant a sensativity to light....completely different from not liking something and your body rejecting it...but the point remains...no rational person fears homosexuals.(id even go as far as to say most dont like or dislike them unless its shoved down thier throats) .its a another jab that leftist throw around when they can make an argument...

I don't dislike BLM supporters until they are screaming in my face..

Do you not understand that this proves my point that "phobia" meaning isn't excluded to "fear"? Again, erroneous semantic argument.

Semantic yes. But when being accused of homophobia when thats not the case semantics matter...as they would with any accusation...

What other phobias mean dislike?

The correct semantics matter. By your own admission, ______ + phobia doesn't necessarily mean "fear of". Stop with the BS.

As nouns the difference between phobia and aversion
is that phobia is an irrational or obsessive fear or anxiety, usually of or about something particular while aversion is aversion.

Adding aversions to phobias are new. Withing the last 25 years. Earliest reference to photophobia didnt exist in definition till 1997

What am I supposed to conclude from that? It's still an example of phobia not meaning "fear of". You think it matters that it's only been around for 2.5 decades? Why? What does that have to do with anything? You were claiming they're using "phobia" wrong, but now the claim is well, it's a correct use but it's not old. OK, so what?

I mean, this is one time where King raises a valid point and detracting from it with petty ******** is pretty lame.

I remember when the right had pitchforks ready because Twitter wasn't doing enough to moderate that kind of content.

To listen to this you’d think Hitler and Satan had a baby and it bought the company.

meh, from some of his other tweets on the matter I don't get the impression King is trying to have a reasoned discussion. He's trying to throw whatever bombs he can hoping some will land

Stephen Miller is a creepy-looking dork, with an arrogant, pretentious and smug manner. He seems very impressed with himself, but it's not clear what for.

On topic :

On the subject of free speech, it now appears, that on recently released audio recordings from January of 2021, that House Minority Leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, was advocating for some of his fellow House Republicans (including Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Mo Brooks, and Rep. Louie Gohmert) to have their Twitter accounts suspended for things they said on January 6, 2021.

I haven't seen any conservatives / Republicans / Trump supporters criticize McCarthy for these attacks on free speech. I also haven't seen anyone from the right, point out McCarthy's blatant lies, hypocrisy and two-faced nature. He has been very critical of Democrats for doing the exact same thing, which he can also be heard doing on one of those recordings.

Don't tell me that conservatives have a double standard for Republicans now. That would be so disillusioning.

Is Federal Censorship Coming? Biden Admin Creating ‘Disinformation Governance Board’: Report

After Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald predicted that Democrats would use the force of the government to crack down on conservative reporting under the guise of combatting “national security” threats.

Now President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is reportedly working to create a “disinformation governance board” to counter what they determine to be false information relating to national security.

On Wednesday, Politico reported that DHS is creating the board “to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.”

I haven't asked. Not looking to be cancelled now that I'm back on Twitter.

Yah. I just did a lot of assuming and asking for some mansplaining.

My bad.

No... Wait. A conservative billionaire just bought Twitter...
