Hosted by the pseudonymous Rookiee almost 20 years ago, the Pedologues Podcast was a further such example of this initiative among BLs. Rookiee was very much ahead of his time, and even once used the term AAM on his blog, inviting some of them on to his show to be interviewed.

BL activism emerged as an offshoot of gay activism.

"Straight activism" meanwhile has never really needed to be a thing. And, at least for heterosexual hebephiles, marriage to teens was not so uncommon in the past.

The reasonably high rates of father-daughter incest indicate this might explain some of the gap. Meanwhile BL had a much higher profile due to men getting with unrelated boys.
