Any action or person that exhibits prejudice against heterosexual (straight) people or trends. Typically, you will not hear someone being called a heterophobe, since normally there are more homophobic people. While you could consider a person saying "fuck cisgender people" as heterophobic, the majority of social media users will argue otherwise (there are some cases of actual, harmful heterophobia but they get swept under the rug). Most likely, there is no real fire behind that phrase and the straight person being targeted realistically has no sweat off their back (not counting for actual hate crimes committed by an LGBT person against a straight person specifically for being straight. I would think that happens very rarely).
Yes it is an uno-reverse card (how historically people would say homophobic things) and does not promote the correct kind of equality (we just cut it out with the hate speech/acts in general). Hopefully people can cease to be X-phobic and jokes can return to being purely for fun and not a direct attack.
This definition might become very unpopular because it's not committing to either extreme of "It exists and we are in danger!!!" or "That's fake af. Stop pretending to be a victim!!!"

Poor example:
LGBT person: Wow straight people have it easy in life; they don't have to be scrutinized for liking someone. So annoying.
Straight person: That's pretty heterophobic! I am offended!
Other straight person: Bro shut up. It's not that big a deal and at most annoying to hear.
Better example:
LGBT person: Some cis guy told me that not all straight people are bad. Fuck that guy and I hope cis scum go to hell!
Straight person: That's pretty heterophobic, and I'm offended!
Social media: fuck off cis boy.
Also social media: this is true, not everyone is as bad as you think.
Basically you just use your brain to discern if you are being harmed or not.

Get the heterophobic mug.A term coined for SJW's that get so into the LGBT+ that they degrade straight people for no reason becoming the very thing they want to get rid of
SJW: Straight people have no right to be on the internet, they're all garbage human beings
Normal Person: That's Heterophobia, and it's literally against everything you want to achieve by alienating a group of people for their sexual orientation

Get the Heterophobia mug.Something people claim doesn't exist and say homophobics believe in this but it's alive.
Heterophobia is discrimination against heterosexual people.
If it is a definition then it exists.
It's not major but it's not something you make fun of either.
(Keep in mind we are not oppressed but it still doesn't make it ok)
