How to report paedophiles on Twitter?

Fuck 4chan, trolling my arse. Years ago I heard about them via a different site, thought ok I'll have a wee browse. Within 1 minute I saw a dodgy (child porn) picture and noped the fuck out of there.

4chan can be amusing at times, but social justice trolling nah, they are the cesspool of the human race.

The argument is that public acceptance etc will help these people to resist the temptation to offend.

So if you were, say, a recovered alcoholic, would it make you more or less likely to fall off the wagon if you spent lots of time hanging out (virtually or in RL) with other (possibly) recovered alcoholics discussing what kinds of alcoholic drink you would enjoy if you weren't recovered?

Its been speculated for years the paedophile activists would start appropriating the LGBT movement. Becoming more real than we could have imagined. Sick little f**ks.

I am also worried about the normalization of MAP. Looking at the profiles quite some overlap with furries, zoowhatever, also trans. That said, at least considering the MAP are already there, isn‘t it good there is strong NoMAP presence as a counter-point. Paedophilia is pervasive in Society (0.5%-3%), I imagine for those affected the presence of a well argued ‚virtuous‘ community with strict no-contact line will be helpful to choose the right path. Am I wrong?

From what I gather now, NoMAP means nothing whatsoever that abuses children, including no CP. However some seem to be pro-Loli (apparently drawn pornographic Anime stuff) and/or pro-Doll. I have previously read that therapists often work with drawn pictures with paedo clients to manage their sexuality without victims. Could dolls be the next step?
I think if it would reduce offence probability, I‘d be for that. But it could as easily go the other way, by lowering the barrier, specifically the (close to live experience) doll thing, no?

Here's the link to the journal article itself, which the journal Sexuality & Culture published in April, not December as Christiantoday.com claims:

PIE is definitely back. Tim O'Carroll has written an article for a journal, same old rationalisation.

Surely it's still normalising the idea? Hiding in plain sight is what springs to mind sadly.

Not sure it is so clear cut VickyEadie. I have randomly looked through twitter, and have repeatedly found the statement that nomaps believe that children cannot consent and it is therefore always abuse. One account (HappyFriendly4) says something about trying to change MAP minds, as she herself suffered CSA. That account is clearly positioned imo.

But then again, you get a lot of Tweets with hashtags for MAP and NOMAP and mappositivity (!), and of course ‚love is love‘ where it all seems to be considered ‚one‘. Hm.

I don't believe for a single minute that these 'Nomap' people are innocent of involvement in some kind of abuse. At the very least they'll have looked at online child abuse.

A genuine paedophile who wanted not to offend would simply seek help. He would not put himself on to social media for the whole world to see - that's seeking validation, socialisation and acceptance.

It may be the authorities are already aware of these twitter accounts and it's easier to keep an eye on the persons involved if they're out in the open. Or am I just being horribly optimistic?

Yeah, whether nomap considers child porn or teleconference abuse (some families in Southeast Asia sell camera time with their kids) is fair game is obviously another relevant question.

The man in the documentary who outed himself never offended according to his word and his record.

Also, several NAMBLA voices were strong advocates of no contact and said they would never do that.

I obviously don‘t know what the deal with the nomap guys on Twitter is, but I had assumed they were strong no contact advocates based on the no in the acronym. It could be just ‚going through the motions‘ to protect themselves, obviously.

Does their content give anything away? (Fixating on age or looks of children they are attracted to would obviously be a red flag).

Thanks mn.

Basically there were interesting documents written by said campaigner on posie's fb page relating to a late 70s or early 80s PIE conference, when pie was still 'allowed'.

Not so different from the NAMBLA crowd then (allegedly non offending paedophiles). I read some discussions on NAMBLA. To be fair, beside some who hinted, they did/had done stuff and others who said they didn’t only because it is criminalized, there were others who were adamant that acting on their urges would be traumatizing for the kids (I remember one saying he knew what it had done to him) and so they would never ever go down that path.

I am not sure people being open about this is necessarily always a bad thing ( one saw a portrait of a guy who said he outed himself to family and now national tv also as some kind of final commitment to never ever act on it).

Thoughts?

Damn didn't mean to post the pic, I've reported my post. Doesn't look readable though.

I know a number of gay men (in fact, all the gay men I know) who would be appalled and horrified at the conflation of gay men with 'paedophile' that's happening here.

As a lesbian who has for some time known the LGBT (blah blah) movement doesn't want me and has no room for me, I don't give a shit about what these twats now doing to their own reputations by aligning themselves with the lowest of the low in society. The repercussions (remember how poorly-read vigilantes went after a paediatrician a few years ago?) will be horrific.

@VickyEadie

"They're getting support from a few gay men for being included in the LGBT (etc) movements:"

I am not at all surprised about that. Interesting article from Julie Bindel about one of the most visible gay rights activists and his previous history.

Worth a watch.

Sorry Anime too. (Can't remember the distinction between manga and anime.)

Is the common use / enthusiasm for anime / manga graphics a sign of 4Chan interests or a MAP interest in those big eyed characters with carved figures?

I believe (via the Stacy Dooley documentary) that in Japan paedophilic cartoons are allowed or certainly were very recently, via Manga. I think this is where the link has come from.

Holy shit this is some deranged bullshit. Saying what ages they are attracted to, one sick bastard has put 2-6. I'm sat with my 2 year old DD on my knee. It makes me sick, is this really what we are heading towards? That this will become normal?

I don't have a twitter account but I will make one and report them
