Pedophiles? Minor attracted people? They don’t deserve violent hate.
I encourage the haters to message me to understand where im coming from more.
TW for obvious reasons. Do not read if these conversations trigger you.
MAP- Minor attracted person/people
Pedophile- Attraction to pre-pubecent children
So, I’m not a MAP. And frankly when I was between 14 and 20 years old, I frequently spewed hate for these people on my personal blogs and picked fights with them in forums. It wasn’t good for my mental health at all.
So, after confronting my feelings and letting go of an automatic knee jerk highly emotional response to talking about pedophiles with some very smart people, I began doing research on my own.
I started with a few sociology and psychology textbooks and went from there.
To get to the point, violently hating MAPs forces them to keep their identity to themselves. This is called repression. When human being are repressed for something out of their control [attraction], they tend to go to more extremes to find an outlet for their emotions. In this case, MAP individuals will find closed echo chamber communities with other minor attracted individuals since there is no alternative to talk about their feelings openly without being potentially assulted/doxxed.
In these closed communities they will often encounter people with extreme viewpoints about children/adult relations and people who might even be convicted CSA offenders. Even if the new MAP member has committed not a single offence.
After interacting with this community because lets not forget, you made these people feel unsafe and misunderstood in the first place, they will feel more confident and justified in abusing real children or obtaining CP.
Do you see why violent hate is NOT okay?
You may say to me that “MAPS should to get therapy” if you arent into the violent hating stuff.
I would say to you that although your intentions are good, they are misguided by your faith in the medical system. A faith that is simply not there for MAPs.
MAPs often do not feel safe talking about their minor attraction with theripists because in many places in north america, that information IS NOT CONFIDENTIAL and there have been many cases of pedophiles being shoved into the sex offender registry with no convictions other than trying to seek help. They are literally punished for seeking help. It makes sense why MAPs wouldn’t want to seek “help”.
Yes, I put help in quotation marks because my next point. If by good luck your theripist doesn’t inform the authorities of your attraction, the help that theripists offer is often extremely limited. In short, theripists don’t know what the fuck to do with MAPs either because society has said the solution is jail/death.
THERE IS NO STANDARD OF CARE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR PEDOPHILES/MAPS IN MENTAL HEALTH. Most of it is about supress the feelings, occupy yourself with something else etc. But that method just doesn’t work for attraction. The patient is often left feeling just repressed or the same. So they stop going.
My final point is something a lot of you might not know about because you simply don’t care. We actually know very little about about MAPs scientifically. We know a whole shit ton about child sexual abuse and abusers but MAP and CSA are not synonymous. Many violent sexual acts are not actually committed bu pedo/map individuals. Contrary to popular beleif, most MAPs dont want to hurt children because they love children. Violent crimes against youth often comitted by people with Anti-Social Personality Disorder who choose children as they’re victims because it tends to be more thrilling for them. Reminder that ASPD individuals are low to no empathy. Most MAPs have regular empathy.
Now, why don’t we have research on MAPs and pedophiles? Because research methods involve things like child shaped blow up dolls etc which are almost always rejected and confiscated by the country as things that support pedophelia. Victimless drawn material such as lolicon cannot be used in research because it’s illegal. So researches have a very difficult time researching pedophiles. Many pedophiles also do not want to come forward with helping researchers because pedophiles are so hated that they have very little legal lee-way if their information is leaked [and people WILL TRY EXTRA HARD TO LEAK THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE PEOPLE HATE PEDOS/MAPS]
MAP encouraged by other radical MAPs to commit crimes
MAPs commits crime (and knows how to hide it too)
Theripist cannot help because theres no research
Researches cannot help because research materials are illegal
Research materials are illegal because society hates maps
MAP commits suicide or back to the top *
Theres lots more to mention but I’ll stop there for now.
