Correcting MAP imaging

[NotTrueToMyself]

One of the largest problems MAPs face is that we are equated with rapists. we cannot love because we only want to violate.

Obviously nothing could be farther from the truth.

So how can we work to destroy this false construct?

I think we should find a way to unite MAPs in taking down human trafficking and child sex trafficking. MAPs are far more sensitive to being able to tell something is wrong with a child…so I think.

If we can do this, we start to prove that we are not the ones trafficking or being Johns to child slaves. Especially considering the general public thinks pedos are the one running the rings and exploiting the children. Whereas any true MAPs would be completely against trafficking and enslaved child prostitutes.

We could certainly write an article on how to protect children from actual abuse.

Red Rodent would be in a good position to write this.

There is a wealth of information on how to protect children but it still happens.

But how much does the general public narrative start to fall apart if we are the ones causing them to be rescued? They can’t hide stories about children being saved from modern slavery. Any rescue by a MAP creates the opportunity for an open forum with the public to educate them that a MAP is not a child rapist…that we want to protect children as much as most normies, if not more.

I was thinking that something written from a MAP perspective about the types of CSA might be interesting. Something that just describes some common patterns and dynamics and looks at them through the lens of attraction.

This is only half the problem.The second and more important part is that they do not believe that minors can have feelings, desires and consent. They justify any persecution and punishment with this delusion. If young people had a voice and a choice, it would be harder for antis to push the lie that any inter-age relationship is abuse and rape.

Some good suggestions here. I agree with Harlan, though, that the image people have of minors is just as essential to how people perceive us as our own image. Even if the general public accepted that a typical map doesn't offend and they we're just 'normal people' like them, the perception that minors are effectively inhuman until their country's legal age will always drive special conditions that will inadvertently affect people's image of us. Even if 100% of maps didn't go near a child, the fact that we fantasize about it stirs enough revolt that it'll likely always create a monstrous image - on the belief that minors are these peculiar innocent shells of life.

I enjoyed browsing Newgon's meme section, especially the absurdist section. There's a lot in there that highlights the absurd nature of age of consent laws in a slightly comedic format which could resonate with people if spread. I would suggest we make more images like this, which focus on making fun of the absurdities of age of consent laws and views of childhood innocence, and spread them around. If they're funny enough they might actually catch on. If the 'innocent' image of a minor is challenged, it'll help us in the long run more effectively than our own image.

Some examples of ones I like:

Edit: I'd like to point out as well that if these images started to make their way to more traditional media, minors might see the themselves. There's the chance that after some time it could start small online movements of youth that start voicing a change in their own image themselves.

Yes. It is ridiculous. They say a 10 year old cannot consent to intimacy but if they shoot someone they can be treated as an adult and imprisoned for the rest of their life.
