Kinkophobia

Categorism targeting "kinky" sexual minorities such as sadomasochist and fetischists.(In Swedish: kinkofobi)

Kinkophobia is a sub-foci both of paraphobia (categorism against sexual minorities) and of Queerphobia/LGBTQ+-phobia/DMRSG-phobia (categorism against the spectrums of minorities which relates to gender and sexuality.)

Expressions of kinkophobia

• Dehumanization: Talking about kinky people as if they were animals in heat.
• Privateermongering: Teaching kids that they are not at fault for bullying the children who's parents are sadomasochists or fetishists (or homosexual), instead putting the blame on the parents for “causing” the bullying by not being mainstream.
• Stigmatization: Portraying kinky people as being "unclean", "perverted" or "unhealthy".
• Unbalanced Alleged Incompetence: A new engineer is hired at a company where almost all engineers are talking openly with each other about their relationship dynamics and sexual life. Coworkers keep asking the new engineer about his past relationships and about his current one(s) if any. When he eventually admits that he's in a BDSM relationship, some coworkers starts scrutinizing his job performance and are very eager to report any faults they can find. The same fault is often treated as much worse when the kinky guy does it than when someone else is doing the same, but people are still quick to learn that they can get in trouble if they do the same error as the kinky guy at the same time as he's doing it. Doing the same error at another time is much safer, since rules which are enforced equally for everyone whenever the kinky guy breaks them won't be enforced at all when only vanilla employees break them.
