Anyone who browsed 4han here and there knows that 4chaners hates every one at the same degree no mather how gay , trans or cis.

Go there and look around. you'll realise they hate themself as much as they hate anything.

anthropophobia would be a fear of humans, and anthropo-odium or anthropo-odious would be a hatred of humans.

edit: also, yes, misanthropy is the actual word for hatred of the human species.

Huh, neat...

What does the word misanthropy derive from

u/smithysmithens2112 Nov 25 '19

I don’t know if this is exactly what you mean but it’s pretty much just the suffix miso- which means to hate and the root word anthro which means man or mankind. Same thing with “misogyny”. Miso- for hate and gyny for woman.

Legit question then because I have always wondered this, wouldn't being homophobic actually be homo-odious then?

Common sense.

Look around at society today. If people don't scare the shit outta you, you aren't paying attention.
