i always find it odd how the media paints MAPs as child abusers, even the ones who haven’t touched a child in their lives. most MAPs i have met care about children to a heartwarming amount and show the most raw tender love i’ve ever s33n. even moreso than non-MAPs. hell, even moreso than parents

maybe it’s because we tend to view children as actual living, breathing humans. we view them as equals and find their innocence and curiosity charming

personally, as a hebephile, i find natural occurrences in t33nagers to be adorable and hot because i genuinely love t33nagers. the way their body changes quicker than they are ready for is wonderfully cute, and i want to support them through it unconditionally. i understand what it f33ls like, after all

i’ve researched that most people who rape children (emphasis on rape, without consent) are biastophiles or extreme sadists (no shade to either whatsoever) who enjoy the f33ling of power they get out of it. most of the time they are not MAPs

to add onto this, i believe that we as a society should have less of a harsh view towards biastophiles/rapists. they are people just like us, and deserve therapy and sympathy despite their horrible actions. the same goes for serial killers, imo. the stigma often surrounding them is very misguideded and doesn’t look towards the actual issue, but rather what they have done. rather than working to decrease child abuse cases or severe trauma, they are adamant on demonizing criminals and ostracizing them for what they have done.

this is not to say that they aren’t at fault whatsoever, and what they did was horrible, but it is to say that they deserve more sympathy

anywho, back to MAPs

i find oftentimes that we are painted in a similar light for things we haven’t even done. we are treated as horrible evil child molesters regardless of if we have had relations with children or not. we are treated as ticking timebombs that are counting down to the day we molest a child, despite most of us having good enough self control not to

what are your thoughts?

    I agree with you. The way that crime is handled in society does very little to actually prevent crime. Prison doesn’t reform or rehabilitate criminals, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and say at least half of all prisoners are unfairly incarcerated. Drugs and consensual relationships shouldn’t be illegal for one. Many people steal because they have no other choice. Protestors get arrested unfairly. Self defense cases who couldn’t afford a good lawyer. And don’t get me started on systematic racism, ableism, etc. But even for those that did do horrible things, in a lot of cases it could have been prevented if they’d had more support and kindness and understanding in their lives. I wish people actually tried to figure out why these people snap and do the things they do and try to work on that instead of just putting them in a cell to rot with no support and maybe let them out depending on how much money and connections they have. It doesn’t do anything. Everything is fucking unfair.

    “i always find it odd how the media paints MAPs as child abusers, even the ones who haven’t touched a child in their lives.”

    Imagine a story that pits a physically abusive parent against a pedo trying to protect thar parent’s kid.

    Imagine who’e side with which character.

      @Sasagoxialan @avery i will do exactly that.

      synopsis; Ima, a mid-twenties trans fem repressing feelings of child love, moves into a trailer park and meets a seven year old girl named Kyrie. Kyrie is brash and loud and demanding, steamrolling Ima into lavishing her deep thirst for emotional sustenance, as well as a bottomless appetite for food. but Kyrie is also skittish and dismissive about her bruises and the frequent alcoholic stupors of her mother.

      Ima tries to be shelter for little Kyrie, but experiences turmoil both in antagonism from Kyrie’s possessive mother and the dawning realization that she’s falling in love with her child friend, and that her love seems to have no limitations for the demanding and desperate seven year old…

          @Sasagoxialan or insisting that Kyrie be immediately placed in foster care. neglect, beating, and having only one parents with alcohol dependency are all major traumas for kids so that leads some to run inmediately to the foster system in a naive belief that it must be an improvement for all such cases. and maybe it even *could* be if Kyrie is white and particularly lucky and attractive and “well behaved”, but for far too many kids it’s yet another prison pipeline

            …imagine Ima’s a former foster kid and knows all too well the foster system’s faults too.

    @avery @map I agree with what you say, even about the rapists, I don’t think rapists deserve some kind of severe punishment, but at the same time I can also find satisfaction in their suffering. That’s my own issue though, morally, the right thing to do is no harm, and to study them to learn prevention tactics.
