I'm torn on this because it is using the language of victimhood but it really does present phobia sufferers as bad people.

I disagree. Hitler and Chaplin had similar mustaches. A commonality says nothing about other aspects of persons.

Don't think that works when using word 'phobic' to describe prejudice & bigotry. But semantic arguments are tedious
