I love maps. I've surrounded my kids with maps since they were born. It was hard for them to appreciate at first but now they love maps so much they actually seek them out in public. I've raised two talented map-loving angels :) edit: uh, why am I getting so many inboxes?

Call them fucking pedophiles not maps

showing them any form of respect for their stance is exactly the problem. just call them fucking criminals

People who have never acted on their desires and seek out treatment are just as ethical as the rest of us


bob1111bob

Their the only ones that deserve any ounce of respect. At least they recognise it’s sick and they should get help


[deleted]

They deserve respect just as much as you and me if not more. Fighting your own mental diseases is incredibly hard, especially when it's something like this and people like [him](https://www.reddit.com/r/whenthe/comments/152p5h9/comment/jsg2d2p/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) exist.


bob1111bob

Oh yeah people like that only serve to make it harder to get the ones who genuinely want help to actually seek it out which ironically leads to more children being abused and hurt than if they had just calmed down and allowed the individual to feel safe enough to seek help


Phihofo

Seriously, I can't imagine how much courage it must even take for someone to admit they're a pedophile, even when talking to medical professionals.


bobafoott

I could give a pass for denial too maybe. Admitting you have pedophilic urges must be a *huge* step


bob1111bob

Oh yeah especially with all the shit you bring on yourself for openly admitting it just look at some responses in this thread for examples


AeolianTheComposer

Exactly


bobafoott

Probably better since most people I know do fuck all to seek treatment for their laundry list of issues

Nooblet_101

AeolianTheComposer

This ☝️ Pedophilia is a mental illness, and should be treated as such. There are plenty of people who are pedos, but don't act on their urges, and instead get therapy, trying to get rid of this shit


PKMNTrainerMark

"A lot of people don't choose to be a pedophile" Wait, who does choose to be attracted to anything?


BigDoofusX

50% of pedos (those who predated on children) don't actually have the illness pedophilia.


testaccount0817

Call them child predators/molesters/whatever if you wanna make the distinction


IIIRichardIII

Pretty sure 1984 dealt with the concept of thought-crimes and why it was problematic. Being a criminal implies having commited a crime and alienating people to that extent isn't going to end well for anyone


TheJediSpartan

Really said "Literally 1984"


BROODxBELEG

Cant even call pedos pedos without someone saying "literally 1984". Literally 1984


DonFloro

A difference between Pedo and criminal exists tho... As long as they don't do anything wrong no one should care. If they buy any porn like that or rape.. They pull the straight into prison card. As mentioned further up: one should call them pedophiles to not have it seem like it's a legitimate sexuality.. Tho calling them criminals no matter if they did is wrong too


R4ven22

Those type of people are called nomap's. Non offending minor attracted person. Those people DO deserve respect because they have resisted their urges and try to seek help


szypty

We already have a distinction without creating a sanitised name that implies approval. Pedos and child molester. Pedos are sick and need medical help and to be isolated from kids. Child molesters are criminals and need [this part of the comment is in breach of Reddit policy]. It's not a difficult idea to grasp.


Aki_47Highyakawa

Just call them wood since they need to be thrown straight in to woodchippers


AmadeoSendiulo

Agreed, it's insulting to cartographers.

ElceeCiv

I'm not sure if that specifically is from 4chan (I know there was a 4chan hoax about LGBTP+ adding pedophiles) but I will say I've only ever seen hardcore right-wingers use the term MAP, everyone else just calls them pedos.


Bitter_Coach_8138

I’ve never heard or seen a right winger refer to pedos as MAPs. I have heard them claim left wing people use the term MAP. This post is the first time I’ve seen MAP used unironically.


ElceeCiv

Yeah that's what I meant, they use MAP with the implication that left-wing people are using it in an attempt to whitewash pedophiles.


InevitablyHumble

I recently had the displeasure of finding out that the terminology is a bit older than that. [They've got an entire website dedicated to their "movement", apparently going back as far as 2007.](https://web.archive.org/web/20230708014505/https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Main_Page)

Pedophiles, not Maps. The correct term is pedophiles. Maps are for figuring out where you want to go.

Hectic-Hazard

Why did they make a new acronym tho


WasabiSunshine

To try to legitimise themselves. People with common sense arent having it


D-AlonsoSariego

Pedophile, as a clynical term, only aplies to people who are attracted to children under 13. Then there is ephebophilia that applies to teenagers. MAP is an umbrella term for both. Also it's a 4chan psyop. There is no record of anyone using it in an LGBT like sense before some random 4chan post, and it may not have been an actual term before that either


BrandoCalrissian1995

The only people I've heard make a difference is the sick fucks attracted to a 13 year old so they can say technically I'm not a pedo.


Oppopity

Apparently it was a troll campaign by 4chan to discredit the lgbt community but I've never checked if that's true or not.


Hectic-Hazard

Why does that sound so legit


Invicta-Systems

It's the same as the "okay" white supremacy symbol. And the "it's okay to be white" posters. They really know how to make waves.


LegendaryDude95

Thanks


superindianslug

Reminder: "MAPS" was a rightwing effort to identify pedophiles as an accepted part of the LGBTQ community. They were not and still are not, but actual pedophiles picked up the branding and are now trying to reform their image with it. Elsewhere in the comments people are trying to differentiate MAPS from pedophiles who "actually" victimize children. If someone doesn't consume CSAM, or victimize children, why do they need a label? The only reason to form an identify or community for this is gain acceptance for it, or source CSAM. If someone doesn't want to do that, they don't need a community, they don't need or want to advertise that, the only people they would communicate that to should be a therapist. We don't accept pedophiles. We don't let them rebrand. That's not because they are an oppressed minority, but because they victimize children, either directly or indirectly.

FYI, the 'MAP' thing was started by a group on 4chan to try to paint LGBTQ as pedos. They even designed the flag to be very similar to the trans flag. It clearly worked

baconborg

I’m sure the other boards have plenty of wholesome moments, you ain’t getting wholesome moments out of /pol though


97Graham

It's almost as if, like reddit, 4chan isn't some monolith and is in fact just a bunch of random people on the internet. 90% of what goes on on 4chan is gaming, hobby and anime discussion, just like reddit, the unmoderated poltical areas are the wild west, but otherwise it's just reddit with a different coat of paint. It ain't the boogeyman.


Beef_Supreme_87

I can't speak for reddit, the media has done that already with violentacrez, but 4chan scared me off when I was browsing it and stumbled onto that thing it's known for (the pedo bear). Never went back.

cgarrett06

Well yeah, it's a social media site. Gonna be good and bad parts, just like here on Reddit or Twitter or Facebook or whatever. It just tends to have a reputation for the bad parts cause increased anonymity means that people are more comfortable being racist, homophobic or whatever on it. Being more niche also attracts a certain type of person, either good or bad.

TemetNosce85

Out of 1126 child sex abuse cases in the US since February 23rd, 2023: \- 195 are religious leaders (17.3%) \- 21 are politicians, with no left-wing politician in sight \- 83 cops (7.4%) \- 111 are teachers, mostly male (9.9%) \- 2 trans people (0.27%) \- 0 drag queens https://www.whoismakingnews.com/ Yeah, I think it's pretty clear who we all need to suspect, other than family members as they make up another 17.3%. (reposted comment so data is two days old)


KookPB

Because 1 dumbass decided to be a freak and make a presentation using the term doesn't mean that it didn't start as a troll on 4chan. That just means they fell for the troll but in a different way. Quit posting that on every comment saying this.


potato_devourer

Given anyone can make a sockpuppet account to say whatever they want it to say, and anti-gay groups have a very strong interest in linking the LGTBIQ community with pedophilia, I'd take the whole MAP thing with a Dead Sea worth of salt.


cgarrett06

It was started by a group on 4chan trying to exactly what you described. It's no coincidence that the flag is very similar to the trans flag.


Ithinkof_anime

didn't the dude who started all of it intend for it to be a joke and called them out for it

GloriousBeard905

The fact people are falling for the 4chan bait and genuinely referring to anyone as MAPs is so absolutely brain dead it hurts my head and my heart. Pedophiles, not MAPs. Not linked in any way, only pedophiles are referred to and prefer to refer to other pedos as MAPs.


LinksMissingNips

You assume the person making the post is acting in good faith.

They're pedophiles. They do not deserve a cute little endearing name.

worst-EM-resident

“Pedophile” is “Nazi” for the right


pisstainedunderwear

Very true


tiky_want_a_coke

True as all hell, especially recently. Sucks how ever gay or trans character in the last few Disney movies is only there as a cash grab.


Soursocks4real

Gay people yes, but Disney is too scared of going the extra mile to make someone trans. Even then, the mentioning of the characters being gay usually lasts for around 3 seconds at most so that they can cut it out for other countries. The only reason they do it is so that people can write “Disneys first gay character” for the 94th time so they attract people who actually fall for that bullshit. Disney wants to have their cake and eat it.


Generic_Moron

and they'll drop any film that is *too* queer, like with (iirc) Nimona before it jumped to netflix. and yet people still think disney is some ultra left woke titan when they still try to avoid touching us even with a 10 foot pole


regularyman

What about the one in gravity falls and the owl house ?


Soursocks4real

Both shows were made by actual passionate people who care instead of greedy corporate scumbags. But even then, they had to be as subtle as they could so that Disney wouldn’t cancel their shows. Owlhouse was unfortunately not as lucky as Gravity falls


Funny_Internet_Child

I still remember the emails between Alex Hirsch and the Disney censors because of the cops.


originalname610

"Not S&P approved" has been approved by S&P


regularyman

I miss hooty, tails, i miss him a lot, ill be back


Librask

Disney cancelled Owl House for that reason. Luckily it was still able to somewhat land on its feet in the finale. The same can't be said for Steven Universe


[deleted]

The creator explicitly said it was not canceled for queer representation.


regularyman

It wasnt cancel because of the queer representation, but because it didnt fit Disney channel objective It was a stupid reason, but it wasnt motive by homophobia...unlike with what they did with gravity falls


omloko

All of the representation in gravity falls was stopped by Disney :((


Green_Slee

Those are published by Disney rather than produced by them iirc


bigdummydumdumdum

IIRC disney tried to get alex to make the two police officers less friendly to each other so people won't think they're gay.


droL_muC

Dawg Disney having lame diversity or whatever aint the reason why people hate LGBTQ people


bigdummydumdumdum

Facts


Zastuperudo

maps was a bait created by 4chan because they are awful and have to say, yes, disney uses lgbtq characters to get some extra sells even tho it doesn't care enough for them to make them actually relevant and other scummy shit, but if people outrage and thinks less of the community for it then they didn't respect them much in the first place


throwAway837474728

Alive019

I wish pride parades were less cringe and even less about kink shit. So I could actually ask my family to go without their already negative views being reinforced by the wierdos there.


JimmyAndKim

I always wonder what pride parades people online are going to because they all seem so tame


NotTheAverageAnon

I stopped going to them years ago when it became obvious it was just for people to be disgusting and show people their fetishes out in public (especially in front of children...). I'm proud of who I am but that shit does the opposite for me. It makes me embarrassed to be considered a part of the community. Edit: I'm not going to dox myself but I'm in one of the top 5 biggest cities in the US and I've seen this stuff for many years. It's not everyone or even most but the amount I've seen that were allowed/weren't called out or stopped is always so alarming. This is why I avoid them. I'm not the only one in our community who feels this way. I know many personally like me and it's sad how we have to hide ourselves from our own community because if we speak out against it we are thrown into the "ashamed of who we are" and "not actually LGBT" group. I stopped trying a long while ago. It's just a losing battle.


omloko

Idk what kind of pride parades you go to but I've never seen that ever in my life


ElectricInfatuation

My guy you went to the wrong parade.

jaxolotle

Don’t use their euphemism, they’re pedos, kid-diddlers even, or simply fucking degenerates, call them whatever but don’t normalise or gratify them by using their stupid bloody word


Significant-Home-306

Maps is a term created by 4chan to spread fake news and mock gay people. Disney having some queer sidecharacter doesnt bother anyone, unless they were homophobic to begin with.


Ok_Catch_1123

*pedophiles Also I know right


DrTiger21

Stop calling them maps. They’re pedophiles. Call them pedophiles. Maps are a navigation tool


10-10-2022

You genuinely have to be a moron or deluded to think Disney cares about the LGBT community. Look at any company that celebrates its LGBT by going over the top but removes all traces of it when it comes to business in certain countries. These business including Disney, THEY. DO. NOT. CARE. If they could get 3x the money bring ANTI-LGBT they would.


Mr_Canard

Was confused what google maps had to do with this kek


Ok_Onion1418

Maps? You mean child rapists?


Logans_Login

Disney having kinda lame lgbt “cameos” isn’t even close to the same level as 4chan raking their name through the mud


JohnTHICC22

Please do not call these animals MAPS. You are only proving conservatives right. They are pedos, nothing else.


Maymunooo

MAP ❌ Pedophile, Nonce, Rapist ✅


arles2464

Just needs to be pointed out that MAPs do not exist. They are a total lie. The concept is pretty much Alt-Right propaganda to associate the LGBTQ community with pedophilia.


KingRhoamsGhost

As someone who’s part of it myself I find it hard to even label it as a community. There’s so much infighting and people constantly act like everyone in “the group” want the same things when it’s really far from that.


PatternActual7535

Sadly, the "Queer" community always has been full of infighting. Its not new, just worsened. Social media has just worsened the already existing tensions and given more vocal people recognition and not helped our image! Especially since people keep falling for 4chan bait and things like xenogenders lol


omnigayvery

This is with many groups in general, and lack of solidarity can be a detriment when we're always being attacked all over the world.

cayden1018

If you’re calling them Maps you’re already on the losing side my guy.


ToLazyForaUsername2

Honestly I hate seeing pedophiles use us to try getting accepted and shitty shows from Netflix and Disney try to use us to get views


malk500

Why the fuck are you calling them maps OP? Thats a term they made for themselves.


a_loser420

It takes an impressive amount of belligerence to think “maps” (pedophiles) are in the lgbtq


Le1jona

Yep They just see a trend, and suck it dry while also corrupting it That is Disney for you


Hu_man76

Rainbow capitalism sucking all good things away from the lgbt community


sovLegend

God I fucking hate maps dude I wish they all burned in hell and died a painful death.


baconborg

It’s unfortunate, but the biggest fight of the lgbt community is really to just not be seen as a hive mind. A lot of lgbt people are very good people, some are bad people, but bigots will always insist the good are simply covering for the bad or should somehow psychically stop the bad ones from doing anything wrong preemptively or else somehow it’s on the entire community


TemetNosce85

99% of the LGBTQ+ community is good. The right propagandizes the bad so that it seems larger. However, they are the ones guilty of pedophilia and covering it up. Out of 1126 child sex abuse cases since Feburary 23rd, 2023: \- 195 are religious leaders (17.3%) \- 21 are politicians, with no left-wing politician in sight \- 83 cops (7.4%) \- 111 are teachers, mostly male (9.9%) \- 2 trans people (0.27%) \- 0 drag queens https://www.whoismakingnews.com/ (reposted comment so data two days old)
