MAP Forum

Hi everyone.

I am BLueRibbon, also known as Brian Ribbon.

I was heavily involved in the second wave as a proponent of the 'non-offending pedophile' concept, developing the foundations of the identity politics and terminology that came to form the modern MAP movement.

I became politically active again in 2023, urging more extreme members of the BL community to be less hostile and tone down their demands. I have been working with other Mu founders on material for Mu, and I have recently published two of three essays that will form the basis of my arguments in the third wave.

I will be encouraging MAP activists to adopt a moderate approach, seeking mild AoC reforms, decriminalization of PIM* possession, complete legalization of artificially-generated PIM, and numerous social reforms.

I hope that Mu Forum will be a positive place for MAPs to meet, and I look forward to making the world a better place for future generations of MAPs.

* PIM = Prohibited Images of Minors

AI is there, it has arrived, it has knocked on the door and entered, we can't run away from it anymore. Unfortunately, everything that arrives, as well as being used for good, is also used for evil. But just as we fantasize in our minds, causing no harm to any child, I also think that the use of AI does not bring any harm, it is not because we visualize something that may seem (but is not) that it will make someone commit a crime. If that were the case, if we watched a violent movie, we'd go out and do barbaric things. Fortunately, that's not the case. So it (AI) will help us, a lot, to express our desires without committing any crime. I'm in favour of legalization.

I can understand how people become angry and desperate, pushed into the shadows all these years. But there's not much organized strategy in angry desperation. It feels like Mu has come at the right time. Indeed, a moderate approach seems like the most reasonable way forward. Nice seeing you here, BLueRibbon. And thank you for all the work you've put into this space.
