There's probably a phobia for everything. There's a phobia of chickens, even. It's called alektorophobia.

Well that's easy to explain.
There probably is a phobia for everything, though, I agree. Even if not all are officially recognized.
PS. Leporiphobia is 100% logical. Rabbits, or rather bunnies, are evil.

Ah, but if that's the case, why is fear of spiders and fear of snakes almost universal across all humans? Why not other "alien-looking" organisms? Why not squid, or beetles, or jellyfish, or glow worms? Why do other spider-esque things, like crabs, not elicit a phobic response as regularly? Of course, anything can develop into a phobia, but it's odd for a particular phobia to be almost universally steady across all cultures. That speaks of instinctual reaction, and instinct is only gained through generations of repetition, usually as a matter of survival. Plus, both spiders and snakes are primary predators of small rodents. (These rodents, in particular, were about the size of large cat, but the snakes and spiders were also far larger due to the increased oxygen saturation of the atmosphere at the time, so it would have been roughly the same proportions as modern day.)
I know -- it's endlessly interesting. I'm willing to believe that there is a deeply logical psychology behind most phobias, but at other times, the brain just goes bonkers.
You think? I raise you this: Phobophobia. Take a guess on what it means. Yup, now you have seen it all.
So basically...
:unsure:
1) Dementors are what Harry fears the most, as evidenced by his Boggart.
2) Lupin says that what Harry fears the most is fear itself.
3) Dementors = fear itself
4) Phobia = fear
5) Phobophobia = fear of phobias
6) Fear of phobias = fear of fear
7) Fear of fear = fear of Dementors
8) Phobophobia = fear of Dementors
2) Lupin says that what Harry fears the most is fear itself.
3) Dementors = fear itself
4) Phobia = fear
5) Phobophobia = fear of phobias
6) Fear of phobias = fear of fear
7) Fear of fear = fear of Dementors
8) Phobophobia = fear of Dementors
:unsure:
So, what if I have a phobia of phobophobia? :unsure: Like, the fear of having a fear of phobias?
We are hitting fearception levels that were untaught of before.
That is one rude potato.
I know it's meant to be pronounced as "forearmed" because he once had a signature that said "Forewarned is forearmed", but now I realize that "4" could also be viewed as a stylish "A"... Could our dear moderator's name actually be "Armed"? That would suggest that he has a much more aggressive stance than we first anticipated. His motivations have now become suspect!

Nay, that was actually the moderator part of my old signature.
It's "Armed", yes, 4RM3D and dangerous. RMD being my initials, which kinda sounds like armed.
I don't know why I do most of the things I do. Nice picture though.

Some words on here started appearing upside down. Moderater, card, cards, and some others I cannot remember off hand. Is there are reason for this, or is the site bugged?
