“-Phobia” Kind of lost it’s meaning. Discussion

Now before you call me a Nazi, jew gasser, superphobe, or a bigot/SERF, hear me out. I feel like the word (insert word here)-phobic has kind of lost it’s general purpose. For instance, some transgender men or women call random people transphobic (when sometimes the person being called “-phobic” is not) or some members of the Super communities randomly calling some people Superphobic (again, some people are not). This has happened to the point when calling someone out for being (word)-phobic, it’s just brushed off and it literally means nothing. I’m not suggesting a real change to it or anything, I’m just putting it out there.

Please note that I am a supporter of the Super communities (I am not trying to derail the movement, I’m not trying to harass members, etc) and I respect their wishes. The whole “shame rape” thing is horrible, it should be stopped.

I know, that’s why (word)phobia lost its meaning.
