moralphobia

The irrational insecurity felt by moralphobes; people living alternative lifestyles who realize that others find their lifestyles morally repugnant. Usual symptoms include retaliatory labeling with words such as homophobia and intolerance, and duh-weebish abuse of the recommend for deletion link.
The predictable political, (see politics), moralphobic response is to curb free speech and promote intolerance of the expression of moral values dissenting from their own.
