Not a thing. A fabrication of victimhood created by homophobes, who have never experienced discrimination against them in their lives.
"Heterophobia" is not a thing.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

honestly, i do believe heterophobia isn't a thing because since most population in the world assumes and inputs on society that being straight is the normal or right thing to be, nobody is ever oppressed or murdered because they are straight. lgbtq people do suffer and that is a fact. but i've personally seen many tiktoks of people who write the following:
"ew, you like men?"
"who is even straight nowadays lmfaooo"
and so so
"ew, you like men?"
"who is even straight nowadays lmfaooo"
and so so
this may be taken as a joke but it can be defined as heterophobia. i believe it is passive aggression towards straight people who do supports the lgbtq community but in exchange get backlashed for being straight. no one should be backlashed for their sexual orientation nor the gays who suffer the most and even the straight who most people believe don't suffer but they passive aggressively do.

It's a made up word describing the hate toward straight people by LGBTQ+ members as a way to "boost" their confidence in themselves, so they insult and make jokes of straight people just because they aren't gay so that makes them less worthy of respect or assuming that they are homophobics. Usually to fell better and get revenge of the days of oppression of LGBTQ+
Joe: You straight people are weird.
Adam: Hey! don't insult an entire group because of the action of certain person. That's heterophobia.

The act of being discriminatory towards straight people, this may be something like the fear of straight people, or just disliking straight people. Its existence is usually denied by LGBT people or straight people who just want some validity from the LGBT community, and it’s usually only denied because people want to try and cover up their heterophobia. admittedly it’s not as bad as homophobia.
