Friendly reminder that bugs are heroic in japanese culture. Thats why they oppose the villainous dark types, not because "durr bugs see in da dork hurr".

Psychic are light analogues, so they're opposed by "dark" types (either literal darkness in Ghost or evil in Dark).

Bugs, dark, evil and ghosts are all irrational and psychological fears. Being afraid of fire, flying, freezing to death, being poisoned or drowning are all rational and genuine physical dangers.

I think it's probably right that they occasionally use it as a light analogue in the absence of a better one, but I think the other anon's right about psychic being weak to types correlating with irrational fears. It just makes too much sense.

I' think the typing of sogaleo has more to do with alchemy than the actual sun, although I don't know enough about alchemy to know why they chose steel specifically.

I dunno, all of those except ghosts seem like pretty rational things to be wary of. Maybe the former two are made less dangerous by technology, but even then, a lot of bugs can fuck you up if you aren't careful and we're really not all that good at seeing in the dark.

A phobia is, by definition, irrational. Achluophobia (Darkness), Entomophobia (Bugs), Pteromerhanophobia (Flying), Aquaphobia (Water), Pyrophobia (Fire), Toxiphobia (Poison), Frigo phobia (Ice) and Astraphobia (Electrik) are all irrational. That's the point of a phobia, if you're afraid, you'll produce adrenaline to deal with the situation, but if you're in a phobic crisis, you'll become hysterical and won't be able to do anything.
They are classified as personality disorders, just like schizophrenia.
