Quote by: Suburbanite it is as much profiling as any adjective, or even a noun. Calling someone a homophobe is as labeling as calling someone white isn't it? Though, I can understand why people have a problem with being labeled in such a way, in fact, I even agree with the logic. Labeling allows people to mentally mark a group of people based on certain true or false impressions. Like when people label homosexuals and think that all homosexuals have rampant sex. When anyone against homosexual marriage is labeled a homophobe it enforces a stereotype of, perhaps, Christian Red Necks or something.
It always sucks to be labeled, but wonder to label others, it really helps us digest issues. |
The word homophobe by definition describes a form of fear which is disengenuous, that being said it is casting an aspertion onto people to put them into a negative light, hence the logic for why there is nothing in the dictionary or PC language called heterophobe. If you call me white I am not going to be offended as PC hasn't deemed it an insult yet like calling some people black, black.
PC language is designed to stop debate and lock anyone who opposes into a corner, that way anyone engaging in it doesn't have to have a brain any bigger than a gnat to win a discussion or get their desired end result.
