Split thread from "How has getting into the MAP comunity helped you?" (General)

[DANAT4T]

I'd have to say it has help with the self-hate I carried for years. I believed the media lies, all pedos are evil and (if given the chance) would abuse kids. I was well aware of my attractions early in life and felt I was doomed. Since coming to spaces like this, I realized we are not some evil figure lurking in the shadows. That we can have these attractions and still not abuse kids. Now, I still don't like having the attractions but I have accepted it's a part of me and I shouldn't hate myself.

Condemned comes on a MAP site and calls himself a "CSA survivor". The guilt trip might work with you but not with me. I would appreciate it if he actually replied to me. He always gets an admin or mod to protect him.

As one of the most aggressive MAP voices, and someone who is philosophically pro-c, I need to stop you right there. There are victims of CSA, just as there are victims of other kinds of abuse. The fact that AMSC is wrongly labeled CSA by default does not mean that real CSA doesn't exist.

Nobody reported your post. I saw it and stepped in because Condemned is a valuable member of the community, and because your response was mean with absolutely zero justification. You are treading on thin ice with many of your comments here and would do well to be a bit nicer to people.

Well done, Ribbon. You keep defending yes men like Condemned. Well done.

Thread split as DANAT4T's thread fork consisted entirely of personal attacks and in-thread moderation complaints, for which they are now formally warned, further violations within 30 days will result in an automatic suspension (our audit logs show that DANAT4T was timed out of getting one today by 5 days).
