Imagine yourself.

  • You are 14. You want to try dating. You wouldn’t want to date an 11 year old though, right? No, no way. You want someone your age!
  • At 15, an 11 year old is out of the question! That’s just silly. Even 12 is too little– you might even have a younger sibling that age. Gross!
  • At 16, would you date someone who is 13? (a middle schooler). You wouldn’t, right? As a high schooler, 13 is just a baby.

This phenomenon is NOT lost on adults. Take it from someone who IS one.  As an adult, anyone who is a teenager is a child to us. This is not meant to be condescending; adults see teenagers as people who have growing to do. People who are so much younger, immature even. Small like a younger sibling who needs protecting. If you are underage, and an adult tells you that they see you as an adult and are attracted to you because of it, THIS IS A LIE. They see you as a child. If an adult tells you that they see you, who is underage, as an adult, stay away. That person is attracted to children. That person is a pedophile.

If you’re a non-offending pedophile and you keep yourself far away from anyone you could hurt, are seeking therapy, etc. I think that’s a good thing. I support your efforts.

That being fucking said,

“MAPS”, no, you’re a pedophile. Stop giving it a little acronym name to try and make it less horrifying. “Map positivity” is fucking stupid. “There isnt anything wrong with you/them!!” “Youre not dangerous!!” “You’re not messed up!!” Bullshit. You are attracted to children. There is something wrong with you. Very wrong. You are very dangerous. You should NEVER be around people who you could potentially hurt. You should not “accept” it. See a therapist. Get some help. Something is very wrong with you.

Don’t even get me started on “pro contact” or “being a pedophile is a valid sexuality/lgbt” you all specifically need to die in a fire.
