or Moral Opposition. The left attempts to conflate moral and cultural opposition with phobias, and biases but that's largely a perception issue.
Take for example, the concept of "pedophobia". Are those who oppose pedophilia fearful of pedophilia taking root in human culture? perhaps.
Contrarily, from a social constructionist viewpoint, perhaps they're choosing to oppose pedophilia because they are decisively choosing to socially construct a culture that doesn't allow fully grown adults with a much more sophisticated sociopathic mindset, to psychologically manipulate still-developing children into accepting molestation....
Granted, from a moral relativist's viewpoint, accepting or not accepting pedophilia is moot, because throughout human history there have been several cultures that have embraced it, so "who are we to oppose it"? Likewise, there have been cultures that accepted and embraced human sacrifice and cannibalism, does that mean that we should accept this shit in today's world?
No.
