I have an irrational fear of people with ginger hair

I don’t want to get too deep into this fear, but when I’m alone and I’m in “the mood” (if you know what I mean), I feel attracted to ginger people, it’s like the “forbidden fruit”, like a guilty pleasure, like a taboo to me. Phew, I feel good finally sharing it with someone. P.S. I was about to send this when I decided to make a Google search and there is apparently a paraphilia named ‘rutiluphilia’ that is all about ginger people. Jesus Christ, I like ginger people only because it’s taboo for me, not in such paraphilic manner.

If it’s not disabling, doesn’t interfere with living your life and doesn’t cause anyone else harm, don’t overthink it.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
