From the Predaphiles Website:
:
1. A person who has an interest (strong or passive) in the alien hunter the Predator, also known as a "Yautja". Predaphiles differ from your average run-of-the-mill Predator fan in that they have the belief that Predators/Yautja have an actual culture, setting them aside as an actual fictional species and society instead of an ugly movie monster, and are willing to discuss this to the fullest capacity with their own theories as well as create fanart and fanfiction to put it to practice and to visualize it. They also believe in the "noble warrior/hunter" aspect and mindset of the Predators, which has been seen and validated in all released movies that feature or star Predators. Most Predaphiles do not believe in the "Hish" concept of Predators, and think of John Shirley's "Forever Midnight" as extreme AU, and not to be considered as any type of fact toward the canon.
2. A person who supports or at least recognizes the subtext relationships of Predator and Human seen in the novels and comic books, as well as the Alien vs Predator movie (2004).
3. A portmanteau of the word "Predator" and the Greek word "Philia" which translates into the word "friendship" and has the meanings of having love, dedication and admiration for a particular subject or thing.
4. Someone who has a sexual attraction to the Yautja species. Not all Predaphiles are sexually attracted to the Yautja. But if picking 5 people out of a group who say they are Predaphiles, about 4 of them will have a sexual attraction to the Yautja.
