Antioptionist

/ˌæntiˈɑːpʃənɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who opposes optionality or the provision of choices; someone who advocates against having multiple options available.

Etymology

From anti- + optionist (from option + -ist). This is an extremely rare term, likely a neologism, as it contradicts modern consumer culture's emphasis on choice.

Kelly Says

An 'antioptionist' would be incredibly unpopular in modern capitalism—we're so obsessed with choice (50 kinds of cereal, infinite streaming options) that someone arguing we'd be happier with fewer choices sounds almost revolutionary.
