Hi there. I would like someone to add "Scoliodentosaurophobia", which is the fear of lizards, geckos (herpetophobia is the fear of reptiles in general, not lizards/geckos in particular). (How To Defeat The Fear Of Scoliodentosaurophobia / Fear of Lizards Revisited? --2804:2FB0:402:3600:DCE1:1E52:70B1:7170 (talk) 13:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, Acephobia is here. Why not Arophobia, the fear/dislike of Aromantic people? Admittedly, I'm not familiar enough with the standards on here to know if I need to prove that it exists or something, but, anecdotally, I can confirm that it exists.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could do whatever is necessary. I'm just making the suggestion.
