World Ethical MAP Association Forum

[Jim Burton]

With this forum being easily searchable as a source of MAP opinions, and neutral in its presentation, would it not make sense to have a Virped alternative (or alternative started by Virped) in some kind of public form?

I am talking about a forum where the ethics of living as MAPs are discussed from an exclusively contact-prohibitionist standpoint, and try to confront the viewer with "ick" topics like legal erotica.

Another concept I have not seen worked on -

PedoCare.info

An anonymous Q&A format in which pedophiles pass a CAPTCHA test and have their questions and concerns moderated and published by a volunteer. The volunteer can make a short (unqualified) comment, but passes the messages on to a team of experts in universities around the world. At least one expert replies to each serious thread starter. The forum remains limited to the anon OP, volunteers and specialists.

I don't especially like the idea of another anti-contact absolutist forum. I think Virped already fills that niche. What I would recommend instead, drawing from my own past activism, is a website (perhaps with associated forum) about "objectionable fiction", focusing on the free speech defense of such material in general and only including contentious prurient fiction as a subcategory and prurient fiction involving "minors" as a sub-subcategory. (Edit: I'd be honoured to take charge of any such campaign, if the platform is there and I have some help.)

I do like your proposal for a "PedoCare.info" service to provide anonymous professional assistance to MAPs. The hardest part would likely be to find specialists, willing to engage with "pedophiles", that are sufficiently open-minded to e.g. consider the possibility that viewing lolicon/shotacon or reading erotica involving AMSC, or using child sex dolls, may be cathartic for self-accepting MAPs and safe and positive ways to engage with their sexuality. (Allyn Walker is one of the very few I'm aware of, and see the backlash they faced for their respectful and insightful research. Edit: corrected the pronouns, my apologies.)

The second concept I believe would be out of scope for the UK's child safety law, not because a child can't pretend to be an anonymous pedophile, but because service users can only leave messages for providers (volunteers) or a pre-approved editorial team (specialists), not other users.

This is the kind of anti-c activism we need in the 2020s.
