Twitter hosts paedophiles- AIBU to think this should change?

pedrapapeletesoura.wordpress.com/2017/09/14/map-starting-guide/

A growing number of MAP (minor attracted people) accounts are forming a network on Twitter. There is a push to normalise and legitimise being sexually attracted to children. The “guide” I have linked is chilling, as are the accounts with MAP tags - they often have AOA in their bio...their “age of attraction”. So AOA 6mnths-4 years is a sexual attraction to children of that age.

Twitter is a huge business, with enormous power - they could, if they chose, take a stand against this.

What did that deleted post say?

Wel - you mean the “science” on my original link? Yeah, I checked some of them out. They’re hardly peer reviewed in the Lancet are they?!

Age of attraction 2 - 7

For a free downloadable 91 page book, Google "We Were NOT Abused".

Datun's quote from the deleted post says it all, Smile

Ah ok. Missed that.

Hysterical are we?

Also a 16-year-old female to male transman? They could just as easily be a 50-year-old sweaty perv.

SmileEachDay · 12/01/2019 14:02

Quite, Datun - and if they are all the things on the bio they should be in therapy rather than on Twitter.

And the anime profile pic and the name Leo? Wasn't Leo a famous transboy?

It's all sick.

What does nonexclusive mean? If they're not practising.

Or perhaps I don't want to know.

SmileEachDay · 12/01/2019 14:19

I think it means they are not only attracted to children.

OP posts:
Datun · 12/01/2019 14:20

Oh. Ok.

SmileEachDay · 12/01/2019 14:22

So essentially, they think that anyone is fair game.

Imagine being that dude’s child or grandchild.

It’s just so far beyond what Twitter should be allowing.

Consent is a grey area, according to this one.

And just for people who are unaware of how normal this is becoming. A 10-year-old drag queen called Lactatia, (a play on lactation), who says if your parents disagree with you doing this sort of thing, get new parents, who's photographed with a balloon saying eat dick, has now been photographed next to a naked man, doing their (the kid's) drag act.

All in plain sight.

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/01/2019 15:50

Wow Datun. I’ve just read that thread.

How can anyone defend this shit? Sick sick sick.

Datun · 12/01/2019 17:40

I don't know Mummyoflittledragon. And I've given it a lot of thought. People think it's happening elsewhere. Online, or in some niche pocket somewhere. Certainly not anywhere near them. In suburbia, or the local village.

But it is. You've got drag queen storytime, for instance. In kindergartens.

So you get into a conversation about what's wrong with drag queens, prude. As a feepaying adult, in a bar, on a hen night? Probably not much. (Unless it's just an idealogical disagreement with the entire parodying of women.) But it's blurring the lines between adults who understand sexualisation, innuendo, and dirty laughs - with kids.

It's normalising adult only stuff being okay for kids.

And this is what you get. Some 10-year-old, dancing for adults, who are fucking naked. It's the sort of photograph that you would get off a paedophile's hard drive.

And suddenly, you have to justify why you think it's wrong. And it's not that easy. You get called kink shamer, pearl clutcher, vanilla, etc. Obviously most people would think this aspect is wrong. But to me, it's all part and parcel of the blurring of the lines.

Datun
Thanks for your answer. I do enjoy reading your posts. Very well thought out and informative. Drag queen storytime Shock. Just looked that one up.

Just when society has finally progressed and for the most part is safeguarding the vulnerable and treating children as children, a bunch of (predominantly) males manage to use and exploit the rules.

Handy list of abbreviations used by people who want to abuse children.

@SmileEachDay hi there, sorry for the confusion re my post yesterday.

I was commenting on the vile post that was deleted and the ‘helpful’ set of links that person provided as the balanced and rational answer to our ‘hysteria’. It looked like I referred to your post because his was deleted.

I (very carefully!) checked out each citation that person gave (about 5-6 links), as he was dressing it up as mainstream academic analysis and research, and I wanted to make sure no one reading was taken in.

Thinking about it further I don’t know why I bothered as no one on here would be taken in but it just felt really dangerous to have that kind of sleight of hand manipulation out there.

As others have written, the tone of ‘now here’s the real right thinking stuff that you hysterical clucking women have totally misunderstood’.

Bleugh.

Makes me feel sullied afterwards. One link was to something like ‘Childhood: innocence is not a desirable stare’ or something like that. Utterly vile.

Ereshkigal · 13/01/2019 11:59

I reported it, so I have the whole text in MN's reply. You're not far off with that title, though I won't repeat it.

SmileEachDay · 13/01/2019 12:25

I didn’t see the original post, but isn’t it interesting that someone came on the thread and posted what sounds like child abuse apologist materials.

OP posts:
Ereshkigal · 13/01/2019 12:42

Yes. People are watching.

SmileEachDay · 13/01/2019 12:43

I’m going to keep posting things I find on Twitter on here, in the hope people report...

Wow! And so not in a good way. What a fucking car crash of child abusing shit.

And the second worst thing about this thread; I lurk, quite a bit. And I have not seen quite so many “ooo what about the poor trans” supporters on one thread in a long time / ever. Why the fuck would you me-rail / trans-rail this thread?

Fox, Glitter, Nell, Rat, et al please answer the question you’ve been asked:
What do you think Twitter should do about the influx of paedophile accounts into Twitter? What should they do about high profile men with extreme fetishes for young girls? Should they suspend women who are raising awareness?

And as I’m stupid, could you please answer in a way I can actually understand.

Datan, Eres, and others - thank you is not enough Gin

feministfairy · 13/01/2019 15:54

I've just read through this appalling thread. Have we learnt nothing from Savile, Rotherham and all those dreadful incidents of repeated serial abuse by paedophiles where whistleblowers were systematically silenced.
Which is precisely what has happened here by a small number of posters trying to stop women from highlighting the growing presence of paedophiles on twitter. Dreadful to see it happening on a parenting site.
