MAP Forum

There’s still so much misinformation out there and it seems to be perpetuated by word-of-mouth on social media with no one actually bothering to do research.

This thread on reddit asking what flag the MAP flag is is a prime example of the blind leading the blind. Answers are given, but the answers include things half true or outright wrong.

Apparently called the "MAP flag", originally made by 4chan trolls, then adopted by Twitter paedos as a way to legitimize themselves as a sexuality (and in some way, drag down all the efforts and progress made by LGBTQ+ rights advocates)

About 5 points of misinformation made in such a short post.

Oh yeah, certainly. Like, the LGBTQ community could not be clearer about MAPs and their stance on them, but even if you somehow wrote on their foreheads with a sharpie "Gays hate the pedos, period", the bigoted dumbasses would still try to invalidate LGBTQ rights through some other means, such as religion.

Pedophile flag. Tear it off if you can the next time you're out for a walk. Disgusting people treating their mental illness like it's their identity and that we should give them rights.

It’s legit mind-boggling that people are so brain dead. They think we would allow that shit like we already have to fight enough while we want to make it harder for ourselves and put children in legit danger who are a part of this community. same thing goes for Furrys and zoophiles I don’t know why people think others who like to dress up in costumes also fuck animals, I don’t see the correlation

I hope to make some articles explaining some of the basics. But perhaps having some infographics (less spicy than the Newgon ones) that we can just insert on social media posts to explain reality.

Why do people think they get to talk about us as if we don’t exist? Can you imagine doing that with any other minority group?

Well, we may be in luck because of this:

Some evidence for the effectiveness of concurrently debunking misinformation as opposed to debunking it retrospectively.

Maybe we could start emailing organizations like this one about MAPs, (e.g. "Was the Stenna MAP flag invented by 4chan trolls?"). Maybe we can let others do our work for us.

I'm available to put well articulated ideas/messages into infographics.

They don't even realize that in the past their ancestors spoke about LGBT in exactly the same way. They don't even know that some LGBT activists supported if not NAMBLA, then lowering the age of consent, and NAMBLA itself was a member of ILGA for 15 years, until they were treacherously kicked out of the house. The revisionists have brainwashed everyone so much that even modern LGBT members don't know it
