I don't subscribe so can't do share token.

However - those of us who do use Twitter are aware of the onslaught there has recently been on self-proclaimed paedophiles on Twitter. It's very worrying indeed - these people are demanding 'acceptance'.

Age of Attraction Danny. They put AoA 6 months to 4 years, that sort of thing. I mean it creeps me out that they're even thinking about that.

Twitter seems to have lost control of their own platform.

What is AoA - don’t want to google. Thanks

Twitter is a cesspit.

And that’s why I’m not cancelling my subscription to The Times.

Good that it's been covered but I do wirh they'd mentioned the AoA thing. That's the bit that made it seem 'real' to me.

Interesting how there is both the assertion that it is wrong to suggest a NOMAP (non offending paedophile) will ever act on their desires and also that child abuse / child rape can be consensual and non damaging. If you believe the latter, why the need to assert the former?

Anyone else think the narrative is typical of sexually entitled men?
The user also defended pornography involving minors: “Just a reminder that not all CP [child porn] involves children being abused.” sounds like pro-prostitution/porn arguments in general

And this
Another, who claims to be a supporter of the Maps community, wrote: “‘You’re a #pedophile. I don’t trust you around kids’ is the equivalent of saying ‘You’re a straight male. I don’t trust you around females.’” is just straight up NAMALT

The article suggests they come from 4chan which would mean that the accounts aren’t real people? (Hopefully).

Thing is, now the most bizarre arguments are common currency (men can be lesbians etc) you can see how these equally bizarre and offensive arguments might be accepted.

Really glad to see this make the papers at last. Have been wondering when it was going to happen.

Absolutely astounded that Twitter bans feminists while allowing these accounts to flourish.

NotTerfNorCis · 06/01/2019 10:19

Really??? Jesus.

The top most recommended comment - highlights the double standard of GC feminists being banned from Twitter - Whilst paedophiles brazenly parade their horrific narrative - I wonder if the police will be as busy visiting these sick individuals - as they are targeting people who say if you own a penis you’re a bloke

I've been shocked - just over the last few days - at the torrent of paedophiles demanding acceptance on Twitter. They're also sharing some scary ideas and some people are suggesting they should be included in the LGBT+ category. Which I recall some women on this forum have been predicting for some time.

The Sunday Times at the forefront...again. Well done; this needs exposure. Flowers
