Transphasophobia

The fear, discomfort, or eerie unease caused by abrupt, unnatural, or distorted transitions in visual or audio media, especially in AI-generated videos, deepfakes, glitchy animations, or badly rendered digital content. It is the disturbing feeling people get when a face, voice, scene, or movement shifts in a way that feels wrong, broken, or inhuman.

“That AI video triggered my transphasophobia because the faces kept morphing between frames in a really disturbing way.”
