Xenophobia is a fear of foreign people and cultures.

No I don't feel any fear of black holes. They're just dense mass with a gravitational pull that light can't escape.

I assume you mean phobia and not actual xenophobia. I get similar feelings with black holes and any other large space object, really. Mainly in media, though. For example, Elite Dangerous. I was playing that game and discovered a black hole, albeit an extremely small one. For some reason, when I got near it, I felt panicked looking at it. All I felt was a need to get away from this thing as soon as possible. Very strange feeling.

It's not irrational to fear an all devouring, insatiable gravitational pit.

Unless you are safely thousands of lightyears from any of them.

Are trolls targeting this sub? Seems every post now is someone trolling/asking bizarre questions.

Not at all. Manny People experience similar feeling for other reason. It has a name but can remember it right know. I get the same feeling looking up in a cloud free day seeing nothing but empty sky.

I don't know if you're strange, but I don't have any such feelings. Perhaps I'm the one that's strange for not having those feelings.
