Reply #131: I might be wrong

But I think that the description of hoplophobia using irrational fear of the object/feeling that it may have a will of its own is more of a comical way to describe it, I believe that a definition nearly identical to homophobia is much more accurate and closer to both the original coiner's intent and the intent of most everyone who uses the term.



At least if I were using the term I would be using it parallel to the definition of homophobia.

If I am very wrong than anyone and every please chime in, I think a general consensus would side with me.
