Ah yes, “fear”, the notorious antonym for “attraction.”
Phobia is the opposite of philia; they’re Greek suffixes, and they meant, and still mean, “fleeing from” and “seeking out”; the connotation of “fear” arrived considerably more recently, because of psychiatric conditions being named … in Greek.
If you’re going to a pedantic dummy about etymology, at least take the time to learn a little before you dive in my dude.
For instance, you could object that “homophobia” originally referred to someone who irrationally avoided other humans, and then demand that words never change their meaning and immediately begin proudly speaking fluent proto Indo European.
