The "phobic" suffix for forms of hate is frustrating to me because it's just another example of jargon whose literal meaning is objectively wrong, employed to make stuff more complicated.
You can hate something without fearing it, and you can fear something without hating it. In fact, you can fear something and that makes you leave it alone completely.
I'm afraid of bees (cause I'm a wimp), so if I see one I try to give it a wide berth and stay out of its way so it can do its thing and I can do mine.
