GAG "discovers" Mu

[Artaxerxes II]

The online group Gays Against Groomers seems to have find out MAP Union's site: https://x.com/againstgrmrs/status/1875624426613698594

What do you think? Good publicity, or no?

Doesn't matter either way, but the replies are crazy. Lots of woodchipper comments.

I do wonder.... will we ever be on their RADAR?

A lot of people on the comments section on GAG’s post put a lot of hateful, nasty and offensive and upsetting remarks about MAPs and MU. They post a lot of misinformation.

Misinformation sells, people want whatever reasons to hate us and if they say we want to do X, X, and X to "please ourselves" it just comes across the wrong way entirely. Which is of course their entire point is to get people mad at us even more because in their eyes we're not even people and we "deserve it". They don't actually care about the children, they never have and never will. It's ironic, really.

Their entire page is basically calling people they don't like pedophiles to have a "reason" to incite hate against them.

Looks like they wanted to drive some traffic to MAP Merch Shop.

Not the first time I've seen hate directed towards them, they'll survive. I've considered buying something from there but now I definitely will with this extra wave of unsolicited hate directed towards them. I'd argue GAG does not actually care about the children, they just want to direct mass-hate on groups like us in the name of spreading hatred. We will continue to exist, whether they like it or not.

Thanks for the update on them, I try not to check those types of accounts.

EDIT: I see this thread getting a lot of views, for those who may just be briefing viewing; whether you are pro or anti MAP - I recommend you read https://www.map-union.org/about/principles for information on what Mu advocates for. I stand behind it myself as well.

We're in again.

And we didn't even troll them this time!

Because they lack material tying LGBT people to pedophiles, they have a tendency to recycle anything that uses the term "Minor-Attracted Person" in combination with a flag and civil rights rhetoric. Having them reuse our material is pretty baseline in terms of publicity.

We should publish an article fact-checking them. That would get them angry.
