Antiantiism

Antiantiism: noun. The philosophical movement opposed to the idea of the prefix 'anti-' and its uses in vocabulary. The movement was initiated by John Locke in an effort to rid the English language of unnecessary negativity and pessimism. Locke suggested that all words that utilised the preposition 'anti-' were being unnecessarily depressing, as the same idea could be expressed by saying 'opposed to x', rather than 'anti-x'. To be fair, he may have had a point.
