This article is work in progress.

There exist multiple types of attraction and attraction-related concepts, as well as multiple types of paraphilias. This is a collection of symbology that is focused on sorts of attraction one may experience rather than particular subjects.

Negative attraction

Negative attractions is an umbrella term for attractions that stem from negative feelings and attitudes, such as hate, fear, disgust, disrespect, annoyance and other similar things, or are conveyed through negative feelings or desire to act harmfully.

Common negative attractions include attraction to hate groups, autobiastophlia, "gross" paraphilias (attractions to rot, disease, filth, etc), sadism.

Negative Attractions is an umbrella term and a spectrum. There's no set amount of negativity that needs to be involved (from slight annoyance to severe post-traumatic stress to genuine hate) with the only requirement being that this negativity must be persistent and influence the attraction noticeably. There's also no set range of attraction types that qualify - sexual, romantic (including obscure types such as kismesissitude), sadistic or masochistic attractions, curiosity, potentially even fearful obsession such as seen in some members of hate groups all count. 

A negative attraction band may be put over a flag of attraction to a particular subject to signify that this attraction is negative:
