I've already seen the groundwork get laid for the response there. They'll bring up how "hydrophobic" just means that something is repelled by and unable to mix with water. Applying that to things like homophobic sounds agreeable enough - then anyone convinced by that argument will help peddle it elsewhere.
Fortunately I have not seen this really take off yet. Maybe once normies are less afraid of naughty feelings like hate and revulsion.
Ive been suggesting homotaedic or homotaedium for a while. The taedium meas "disgusted by or bored of" which is closer to how normal people feel about fags but social pressure prevents them from expressing it.

Sounds good. Basically making a new suffix out of an old word, right? I'm unsure about how it ought to conjugate or whether it would work better with the common english spelling (dropping the "a").
I think you're right that that's a common feeling, even outside of a response to homo stuff. Could apply it to other tiresome things, like diversity or globalism, etc. Provided you find latin root words for those as well. I think it could take off in the future, though - this feeling is set to only compound in response to the unrelenting campaign.
I am not happy about conceding linguistic ground, but I find myself abiding by such changes in favor of easily communicating with normies. Fully reverting all definitions is too big for me, but I try to hold my own line in the sand.
A lot of times, I'll just ask the other person to define a term they're using because it's shocking how often people use words with a weird definition attached. And then I'll use their definition instead of the term, (like an autist) because it's ridiculous to agree to new definitions on a whim.
