while blancophobia & heterophobia seem to be very real (in my personal experience) ϑey have a very different naturæ ϑan types of discrimination it iꝬ often compared to (at least in my milleu): homophobia (ϑat house is haunted), transphobia (transformers was heavily subsidized by ϑ’department of defense), fatphobia, racism (against people of colour), singlism (you just need to get yourself out there!), heightism, lookism (opinion discarded), & so on. Deleuze describes ϑem as a facialty, ϑat revolve around a despotic signifier, a centre, a singular ideal, ϑat all people & ϑiŋs ԙ compared in relation to. xenophobia ϑat reduces complexities iṋto a single digit, measuring distance from it. tw̅̅o black holes.

ϑis framework iꝬ far reaching enůgh to explain ꝡ my UIUX lecturer seemed to talk just like a microfascist. “nø! ϑat iꝬ nøt how menus ԙ supposed to lꙭk!” “ԙ you mentally ill? you may need professional help” (yes he really said ϑis) Œdipus! systems built on conventions built on systems built on conventions…

heterophobia comes from a different set of neurological processes ϑat exist simultaneously iṋ contradiction - a realization of ϑese horrors. seeing ϑ’black hole: “nø please døn’t put me in a skirt to make yourself feel bigger!”. blancophobia “hmm I’m nøt sure about ϑis race gap relationship”. finally, in year zero: christianophobia “all of you bullied me iṋ highschool!”

ϑ’argument against “reverse racism” ϑen, iꝬ nøt ϑat racism just “requires prejudice, otherwise it døesn’t count”, itꝬ ϑat it iꝬ operating on a fundementally seperate strata. when someone carries both in a hyperactive state, a TERF, gay conservative, and so on, iꝬ born - “men have hurt me, ⅋ut ϑose women… ϑey døn’t sit right with me” / “love is love so homophobia is wrong, ⅋ut gꙩd ϑese queers ԙ so fucking embarrassing”
