Definition of Istophobes

noun

• Istophobe: A person who attempts to squelch freedom of speech, and silence, shame, and demonize anybody who disagrees with them on any subject by calling that person names that end in -ist or -ophobe, i.e. sexist, racist, ageist, xenophobe, homophobe, Islamophobe, etc. Ironically, istophobes claim to be the most tolerant and open minded people in their society.
