"Why don't you have a seat over there?" ~ Chris Hansen

The era between 2004-2011 in some ways is probably the era best seen as a Dark Ages. Especially for BL communities. To Catch A Predatory on TV, supported by Perverted Justice. But PJ didn't just stop with the TV stings, they were working almost full time to dox members of all the major MAP forums (though none of us were using "MAP" yet). Multiple core members of the community were arrested. The Adam Walsh Act was a piece of federal legislation that unified and strengthened state sex offense regstries and in response NARSOL was founded. This era basically seemed to end with the most egregious arrests of them all, the Azov films arrested. Hundreds of men globally were arrested for non-sexual nudist images that had previously been deemed legal by multiple sources. The punitive nature of hysteria seemed to be at or near its peak.

"I'm a paedophile, not a monster" ~ Todd Nickerson

The end of the second wave was characterized by self-identified anti-contact or virtuous pedophiles, many of whom wanted to share their story with the broader public. Real life events, except for B4UACT conferences basically seemed to cease and there seem to be a necessary kind of cautious regrouping and realignment in various communities. Vigilantism had somewhat run its course by this stage, but a lot of MAPs interested in PIM had also moved to the Dark Web. Creating a much clearer separation between non-offending support spaces on the Open Web and spaces hosting illegal material on the Dark Web. The end of this wave is basically signified by the banning of Enderphile and other NOMAPs from social media for expressing positions that are neither illegal, nor even promote legal reform. A trend that continued in the early days of the third wave.

It was partly seeing that page that inspired this. There was some great in depth information, but there also seemed to be some big holes. For my own head I was trying to see how it all interacted- how long before VP’s public appearances was Jack McLellan on TV, for example? Putting it together like this I definitely see small eras emerging. Pre and post 2012 almost look like two different worlds in terms of the historic record.

I knew of them but forgot them. I’ll have a look through. Might be a bit too in depth for a timeline approach like I’m going for right now. But more information isn’t a bad thing.

[Jim Burton]

A lot of pro-c stuff just died some time around 2009-2012. The Obama years were also a period of latency in anti-sex narrative, similar to the 1960s, and all the way through to the 2015 elections. This may have allowed Virped to be successful as a publicity campaign for a limited period.

Notice also how the invention of CSA and the CSA survivor ensued in the two decades following the 60s.

You could argue that the self-identified-minor-attracted-person was something that belonged to the decade following the 2015 elections.

Is there any particular reason why the 2010 Ipce meeting was the last? You’re right that a lot of momentum seemed to dissipate around then. I was feeling like Azov, in 2011, was probably pretty demoralizing, too.

The boylover.net raids killed real-life meetings in Europe.
