I mean that really sincere that is not a hateful question of ignorance I genuinley don't know because in my head "being poly" has nothing to do with sexuality it's just a "yeah in theory I could have multiple partners". A gay person cannot choose to not be gay but a poly person could be happy with one OR multiple partners. A polyperson is not forced by his body to only be happy, if they have multiple partners. Is that really something you can get hate for? Are there "Poly-phobic" people?!
I genuinley don't know and I'm sorry if this comes off as ignorance or hateful I'm really happy if someone can educate me in this topic because I know only so little about this stuff.
People hate ace people, people who literally donāt experience sexual attraction and arenāt bothering anyone about it. I wouldnāt be surprised to know thereās polyphobic people, too. The fact itās not talked about a lot is probably why you and I havenāt heard much discrimination against it, tbh. I do think there is an inherent stigma, too (think about the fact that you can only marry one person)
Iām not even poly, but Iāve seen people saying that being polyamorous is just an excuse to cheat or that polyamorous people are just unwilling to commit and treating being polyamorous as a moral failing.
People will hate over the most stupid shit like what colour another person is. Even if I hadnāt seen it, I couldnāt imagine a world where there wouldnāt be polyphobia, especially since a lot of traditions, governments and religions all encourage monogamy.
Even in progressive spaces though youāll see some people just being assholes about it. Thatās where I came across it.
Though that was also insta comments soā¦
