ad subiectum

when one has a bias against, feeling for, or fear of something without proper logical analyzation of the subject, whether it is an object, creature, person, etc. when this happens, one may generalize the subject to how they feel. if one has a bias against something, they may consider it to be wrong or immoral without properly reviewing if it is wrong or immoral. if one has a fear of something, they may consider it to be frightening without properly reviewing if it is harmful. the words "ad subiectum" are latin for "to the subject". a form of ad subiectum that already exists is ad hominem, which translates to "to the man", which is when one has a bias against a person, considering them to be wrong in their argument because of their character or personal attributes, without properly reviewing if their argument is valid or invalid.

"they were directly afraid of the dark. not because of what was in it, but rather because what was in the dark made them directly afraid of the dark, which is ad subiectum."
