If it even exists? I see you don't know how language works. For your information, "homophobic" is a descriptor. If someone uses the word to describe an observable behavior, whatever its nature, then homophobia demonstrably exists. It's as simple as that.
So then, language creates reality? Any label I care to use against you, to describe "observable behavior" (which may be nothing more than thoughts, beliefs, arguments, and principled philosophical positions I find ideologically objectionable) must "stick" and be accepted as legitimate descriptive concepts in reality based upon nothing more than my creation and usage of the terms.
I see.
We all know what this really is, and its known as Newspeak, or PC, or just good old well poisoning.
Homophobe. Bigot. Racist. Sexist. Denier. Kulak. Fascist. Exploiter. Oppressor. Pig.
We've been down this dirty yellow brick road for a century now. 1917. 1933. 1968. He who controls the language controls perception, and perception
is reality, isn't it?
Or is it?
