Aporophobic Bigotry

The institutional and systemic manifestation of aporophobia—the policies, laws, and social norms designed to punish, exclude, and marginalize poor people. It is the belief system codified into action: that poverty is a contagion to be contained, not a condition to be alleviated; that the poor are a drain on society rather than its most vulnerable members. This bigotry is evident in voter ID laws that disenfranchise the poor, cash bail systems that jail people for poverty, "poor doors" in housing developments, and the underfunding of public schools in low-income districts. It is a structural hostility that blames individuals for systemic outcomes.

Example: A state legislature drastically cuts funding for public transportation in urban centers while increasing subsidies for suburban highways. When challenged, a legislator states, "People who use buses don't pay much in taxes anyway. Let them figure it out." This is aporophobic bigotry: it actively dismantles the infrastructure of mobility for the poor (who rely on buses to get to work) while investing in infrastructure for the affluent, viewing the economic contributions and needs of the poor as negligible and unworthy of public investment. It is policy as punishment for being poor.

Medicine Bigotry

The underlying prejudiced belief system that makes "medicine slurs" effective: the notion that people who take psychiatric medication are less credible, less rational, and should be quieter. It's the bigotry that equates being medicated with being intellectually or morally deficient, and views medication's primary purpose as making difficult or dissenting people easier to manage. This bigotry stigmatizes both the need for medication and the act of taking it, creating a catch-22 where speaking with passion risks being labeled "unmedicated and unstable," while being openly medicated risks being labeled "too chemically altered to think clearly."

Example: A streamer is open about managing their ADHD with medication. During a live debate, they get rightfully angry about a blatant falsehood. Chat immediately fills with, "Your Vyvanse is talking, not you," and "Calm down, you're overmedicated." The bigotry here frames their legitimate emotional response not as a reaction to dishonesty, but as a pharmaceutical side-effect. It denies their agency and authenticity, reducing their entire persona to a drug interaction, which is both dehumanizing and designed to silence them. Medicine Bigotry.

Psychosis Bigotry

Systemic discrimination and prejudice against people who experience psychosis, based on the assumption that their perceptions and thoughts are inherently less valuable, reliable, or meaningful. This bigotry extends beyond stigma to affect healthcare (where physical complaints are dismissed as "psychosomatic"), legal rights (deemed unreliable witnesses), housing, and employment. It operates on the core belief that the psychotic mind is a broken version of a "normal" mind, rather than a different way of being that might contain unique insights or perspectives, however distressingly framed.

Example: An artist with a schizophrenia diagnosis creates profound, intricate paintings inspired by their visual hallucinations. The art world criticizes it as "outsider art" (a ghettoizing category) and focuses solely on the diagnosis as a novelty. A gallery show is titled "Art of Madness." This is psychosis bigotry: it reduces the artist's complex creative process and lived experience to a symptom, fetishizing their condition while denying them the status of a deliberate, skilled artist. Their mind is seen as a source of spectacle, not intellect.

Evidence-Based Bigotry

The use of scientific evidence—or appeals to evidence—to justify prejudice, discrimination, or violence against people whose beliefs, practices, or identities fall outside evidence‑based frameworks. Evidence‑based bigotry cherry‑picks studies that support predetermined biases, weaponizes the concept of “burden of proof” to demand impossible standards from marginalized groups, and frames any defense of non‑scientific practices as “anti‑science.” It is often deployed in debates about indigenous rights, religious accommodation, and alternative medicine, where the rhetoric of evidence masks deeper social and cultural hostility.

Evidence-Based Bigotry Example: “He cited a single study to claim that acupuncture was ‘dangerous quackery’ and that its practitioners were ‘harming the vulnerable’—Evidence‑Based Bigotry, using selective data to justify cultural erasure.”
