Pappy: Moved lists of instances each to a separate page.

'''Map fediverse'''<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse Fediverse], Wikipedia</ref> (also called '''pediverse''' or '''pedi''') is a network of communicating social media sites made by maps and for maps.
== History ==
The first map fediverse instance that we know of was called phenomenal.masto.host (a pun of the [[Uncommon MAP identities#Phen | phen]] identity). It was launched in 2019 by an ex member of the Tumblr map community and shut down a few months later due to anxiety around antis and security.

In May 2020 nnia.space was created by Alice together with Lecter, a former member of phenomenal. nnia.space became the foundation of what is now known as map fediverse, after more instances, created by former nnia members, branched off from it.

This is an a list of inactive instances of map fediverse. A list of active instances can be viewed [[List of active instances of map fediverse|here]].

== phenomenal.masto.host ==
Launched in 2019 by an ex member of map Tumblr, this was the first known map Mastodon instance. It never gained publicity and was shut down by the admin after a couple of months.
== dlf.social ==
This instance was run by a pro-contact Twitter activist Rel. It was created in 2020, a couple of weeks after [[#nnia.space|nnia.space]], and existed for a brief period of time.
== pedo.house ==
This instance was made early into map fediverse' development by a member of nnia and suspended by providers after mass reports from antis.
== pedo.school ==
Made after the suspension of [[#pedo.house|pedo.house]] by the same admin. It was unavailable for a long time due to problems with domain transfer ([https://njal.la/ Njalla] soft-suspended the domain) and later co-existed with freak.university as an almost inactive backup.
== freak.university ==
freak.university, the third iteration of pedo.school, was the longest-living instance in a series of vaguely school-themed map instances. It had an anti-bigotry policy, similar to [[#nnia.space|nnia]], but allowed NSFW posts and pro-contact advocacy.
== youjo.love ==
youjo.love was first made in summer of 2021 by a former member of map Twitter, Chizu. This site had much more lax content policy than [[#nnia.space|nnia]] or [[#freak.university|freak.university]] and allowed several openly fascist or transphobic members. At some point it was actively used by Newgon administration and members. After its domain suspension in autumn 2023, it lost most of its users, but retained partial functionality.
== hentai.baby ==
Created as a kodocon sharing instance, and eventually grew to hold many biastophiles and nepiophiles. Suspended (<code>serverHold</code>) by the [https://gen.xyz/ XYZ registry], which considers lolicon to violate their policy of [https://nic.xyz/downloads/xyz-registry-domain-name-policies.pdf?v=2.0 "child pornography or any images of child abuse" (PDF link)]
== rapemeat.shop ==
Created as a successor to [[#hentai.baby|hentai.baby]] by the same admin, suspended (<code>serverHold</code>) by the [https://get.shop/ GMO registry], which deemed lolicon unacceptable "even by ''[sic]'' drawing".
== rapemeat.solutions ==
== rapemeat.express ==
== rapemeat.st ==
== youjo.observer ==
This site briefly served as a replacement after [[#youjo.love|youjo.love]]'s domain suspension, but similarly went down within a couple of months.
== childpawn.shop ==
== cunny.finance ==
== lolison.top ==
This instance was made in the end of 2021 - beginning of 2022 by a former member of childpawn.shop/cunny.finance, Marder. Eventually it started experiencing a range of technical issues and was shut down in the end of 2023. Later its domain redirected to [[#cute.lolison.top|cute.lolison.top]].
== lolison.network ==
A backup for [[#lolison.top|lolison.top]], created as a temporary solution while the original site was malfunctioning. It has been suspended in May 2024 by their domain provider (Epik) after reports of illegal content.
== cute.lolison.top ==
The newest iteration of [[#lolison.top|lolison.top]], made after the old site's shutdown and suspended simultaneously with lolison.network.
== ghetti.monster ==
Spaghettimon's private instance, suspended simultaneously with [[#lolison.network|lolison.network]] as the domain was also owned by Marder.
== childlove.space ==
This instance launched the day [[#youjo.love|youjo.love]] had its domain suspended. It was created and moderated with participation of Newgon members. It was advertised as a free speech space and quickly attracted Nazis, who the administration refused to ban despite multiple complaints. In addition to that, some members used it to post CSEM. The instance went down after a short spike of activity.
== childlove.su ==
This site was meant to serve as a continuation of [[#childlove.space|childlove.space]], but inherited all of its problems and did not stay up for long.
== childlove.top ==
The third site in the series started by [[#childlove.space|childlove.space]], created in July 2024. It featured Nazi dogwhistles right on the main page. It has been taken offline by late August 2024 for unknown reasons.
== tooters.fun ==
== offkey.cat ==
This instance, primarily intended for para art, was made by Ezra in mid autumn 2023 and suspended by the domain provider in December 2023 due to mass reports from antis.
== oddballs.online ==
This was a successor of [[#offkey.cat|offkey.cat]], launched by Ezra in the beginning of 2024. It has been at the center of attention of Twitter and Telegram antis for multiple months after the launch. Eventually repeated DDOS attacks have caused its admin to shut it down in August 2024.
== sing.offkey.wtf ==
This was an activism-focused branch of [[#oddballs.online|oddballs.online]].
== clown.university ==
== cutecatgirls.cafe ==
This instance was made in June 2024 by Lucky, intended as a pro-contact youth-lib aligned AAM safe space. This also marks the first youth-made and operated MAP Fediverse instance. The site's lifetime ran until June 28th, 2024 due to extensive drama and the owner's withdrawal from Fediverse over the span of a few days, and was succeeded by [[#miiverse.cafe|miiverse.cafe]] on July 1st, 2024.
== imouto.pics ==
Created by Rachel as a spiritual successor to [[#lolison.top|lolison.top]] in May 2024, suspended in July 2024 by the .XYZ registry. Note that although the [https://icannwiki.org/.pics ICANN wiki] lists the registry as Uniregistry, WHOIS data lists .pics as being owned by the [https://gen.xyz/ XYZ registry], which also lists .pics as owned by them.
== imouto.exposed ==
Created by Rachel in July 2024 as a successor to [[#imouto.pics|imouto.pics]]. Suspended 2024-08-23 by the Identity Digital registry (<code>serverHold</code>).
== miiverse.cafe ==
This instance was made in July 2024 by Lucky, intended as a spiritual successor to [[#cutecatgirls.cafe|cutecatgirls.cafe]], sharing the same fundamental values as its' predecessor from June. Miiverse was temporarily defederated by a large majority of MAP Fediverse instances due to aforementioned drama. Miiverse.cafe was shut down on August 27th, 2024, and succeeded by [[#kodo.pictures|kodo.pictures]].
== cannibal.cafe ==
== tummy.town ==
This instance was made by Luwa in 2023. It was advertised as a space for chronologically adult maps and other minorities.
== cub.lol ==
This instance was created by Lucky, Rain, and Ulith in August of 2024. It was originally put into the works on August 15th, 2024 before becoming open to the public on August 22nd, 2024. It was eventually shut down but was succeeded by minor.cafe.
== kodo.pictures ==
Created by Lucky as yet another succession in August of 2024, shut down on October 5th, 2024. After over a month of consistent uptime, the admin spoke up about their mental health being severely affected by administration, and posted a shutdown notice on October 3rd, 2024.
== love.is.notacri.me ==

Pappy: /* Contact stances */

[[File:Newgon2007.png|thumb|right|alt=Newgon logo from 2007|Newgon logo from 2007]]

'''Newgon''' is a [[pro-contact]] map organization that calls itself an information center for the map movement. Its website is a MediaWiki-based site archiving talking points and arguments for pro-contact maps.

This article is a general description of Newgon, their affiliations, and activities. For more detailed evidence of claims presented here, see [[Newgon/Records]].
== History ==

Newgon was co-founded in 2007 by the pro-contact map activists Daniel Lièvre and Jillium after Google started censorship of small blogging sites<ref name="J">[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Newgon Newgon], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. Their biggest early project was a magazine titled ''Uncommon Sense'', coming out in 2009-2010. In 2014 the site was disabled, with the ISP requesting the administrator for contact. Soon, the site's domain expired and the site went fully offline.

In 2021 Newgon returned, relaunching by "previous associates of Newgon.com and its network of activists" and resuming editing of the Newgon Wiki with the domain newgon.net. In May 2022, an official Newgon Twitter account appeared<ref name="J" />. In June 2024, the site was altered so that newgon.net links redirect to wiki.yesmap.net. In addition to that, they now run a pro-contact activist group chat and have made several attempts to host a fediverse instance (childlove.space, childlove.su, which have been suspended for illegal content, and fedi.yesmap.net, the most recent one, which is currently active).
== Prominent members ==
* The Strategist. This is the current main admin of Newgon. He is also known as John Holt, Jim Burton, and Jamal Ross.
* Hina (HinamizawaShokogun22). This is a mod at some Newgon projects, such as PCMA and childlove.space and its continuations.
== Affiliations ==
Newgon, as a wiki, is closely affiliated with a number of other sites and social spaces. The administration and userbase of those heavily overlaps, and many of the actions, while done on behalf of different brand names, are directed by the same circle of people. For the sake of this article, next names might be used interchangeably with Newgon:

* '''Yesmap.net''': one of their main domains that also holds '''wiki.yesmap.net''' and '''fedi.yesmap.net'''.
* '''Fstube.net''': a video blog site advertized as a backup of a previosuly existing site '''FreeSpeechTube.org''', funded by Newgon<ref>[https://wiki.yesmap.net/wiki/NewgonWiki:Getting_involved NewgonWiki:Getting involved], via NewgonWiki.</ref>.
* '''PCMA''' ("Pro-c MAP Activism"): a Matrix chat consisting of several channels, previosuly hosted on '''yesmap.net''', currently hosted on '''needsmo.re''' and '''nekos.cafe'''.
* '''Nekos.cafe''': an element server and a fediverse instance, moderated by Hina, an active Newgon project participant.
* '''Map-union.org''': an informatiomal site and a forum, moderated by the main Newgon admin.
* '''Childlove.space''' (now suspended) and its continuations '''childlove.su''' (now suspended), '''childlove.top''' (currently active): fediverse instances, known for accepting nazis and hosting CSEM.
== Political stances ==
=== Contact stances ===

Newgon is a pro-contact organisation. Its stated goals are mostly related to destigmatization of youth attractions and sexual contact down to hebe age range (from 11 and above), as well as legalization of sex and marriage of adults with youth within this range. It promotes biologically and culturally essentialist view of hebephilia and ephebophilia, heavily leaning on the notion that girls are the most attractive and the most reproductively potent in the teen age range, and therefore it is "natural" for adult men to be primarily seeking them as sexual partners<ref>[https://archive.ph/GlukA File:Yessss.png], NewgonWiki via archive.today.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/00HOD File:Beachmeme.png], NewgonWiki via archive.today.</ref>.

Many of the materials on the NewgonWiki heavily suggest much wider spectrum of supported or tolerated views, such as "naturalness" of adult sexual contact with infants<ref name="M">[https://wierstamann.net/2023/06/25/ewgone-on-sex-with-babies/ Ewgone on sex with babies], via wierstamann.net, 25 June 2023.</ref>, rape apologism<ref>[https://archive.ph/6GgnE Rape] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, "Whilst as inherently damaging as any other form of highly intrusive physical assault, the psychological effects of rape often depend on taboo and post-traumatic intervention.".</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/FHZZA List of obfuscatory terms used by authorities] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, "Sex Trafficking - Usually consensual economic illegal immigration related to the sex industry."</ref>.

Newgon is known for its extreme and often conspiratorial viewpoints, suggesting that anti-contact people, among others, are "sex fascists"<ref>[https://archive.ph/ltZSZ Word Trickery], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Acda9 Grooming Reworked], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/0A0b1 Sex Fascist Bingo], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/B8OAZ Sex Fascists through the ages], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/6wtIJ Glass of Water with optimist, pessimist and Sex Fascists], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, control the contact stances of major governments<ref>[https://archive.ph/ERsKH List of CSA/anti-pedophile proponents: Global], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, and take part of a "child abuse industry" or "CSA-industrial complex"<ref>[https://archive.ph/qmkiC Debate Guide: Child abuse industry], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/bNywj The CSA-Industry], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Ofx8l The CSA-Industrial Complex], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Sebri "Grooming" - according to America's insane CSA-Industrial-Complex], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. It is also opposed to equal treatment of many parts of the map community, such as people primarily attracted to children younger than the hebe age range (pedophiles, nepiophiles and infantophiles), people with violent attractions towards youth (sadists, biastophiles, etc)<ref>[https://www.map-union.org/encyclopedia/glossary Glossary] of map-union.org, citing biastomap and pedosadist identities as possible hoaxes.</ref>, and other paraphiliacs<ref>[https://archive.is/UdXJ0 Special Article: Anti-c MAP Tumblr, Twitter and Fediverse - Material for Character Analysis] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, referring to multiple paraphilias as a "freak show".</ref>.

Newgon also has been criticized for bigotry, such as misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, mapmisia, as well as ethnonationalist views, perpetuated on the wiki and in personal communication (see [Newgon/Records]).

== Activities and strategies ==
=== Wiki ===

Newgon collects information, including studies, quotes, opinion pieces, memes, and infographics. Some of the content they collected has been identified as bigoted, intentionally misleading, or promoting various types of abuse<ref>[https://nnia.space/@comrade_lecter/110616766395547688 A fediverse post by Lecter] from June 21, 2023, citing " removal of all ableist, fatphobic, transphobic, anti feminist, and otherwise degrading for marginalized people rhetoric; removal of positive and uncritical references to and quotes from people known for bigotry, abuse, and medical malpractice; separation from right wing ideologies and termination of attempts to appeal to right wingers and "bridge the gap"; termination of spreading deliberately incorrect information with the purpose of recruitment or generating outrage" as a list of demands towards Newgon.</ref>.

=== Trolling campaigns ===

One of the active strategies Newgon uses is trolling, "visibility campaining" or "tactical operations"<ref name="K">[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/PCMA PCMA], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, mostly done through disingenuous tactics such as fabricating credentials or other significant information, impersonating antis, impersonating anti-contact map activists (especially those who were visible opponents of Newgon) to attack or delegitimize them, spreading "ironic" bigoted rhetoric, arguing for stances they did not actually believe in, claiming certain opinions or events were far more common than they actually were, spreading false information, recycling pre-written lines<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Debate_Guide Debate Guide], via NewgonWiki.</ref> while passing them off as organic and spontaneous, and pretending to be engaged in entirely independent activism efforts rather than encouraged and backed by and working for an entire organization.

Early post-revival Newgon activities included spreading links to their wiki on Twitter while pretending to be reasearchers, sometimes specifically [[Child sexual abuse | CSA]] researchers<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211118085253/https://twitter.com/Alfred__Vincent/status/1461256014796398599 Alfred__Vincent on Twitter], via Wayback Machine.</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220317012125/https://twitter.com/JamalRossJr/status/1504266488571645960 JamalRossJr on Twitter], via Wayback Machine.</ref>. Efforts such as these are designed to boost Newgon and pro-contact visibility as much as possible thorugh negative attention from public<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231105142737/https://www.newgon.net/wiki/MAP_visibility_on_Twitter#2021_and_onward:_The_pro-c_renaissance MAP visibility on Twitter: 2021 and onward: The pro-c renaissance], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. Newgon members mainly targeted Twitter for these campaigns, but some also tried to do such activism) on other sites<ref name="L">[https://archive.is/AVKMS "Recruitment Drive for PCMA MAP Activist Team" on FreeSpeechTube], via archive.is, 11 August 2022.</ref>.

</gallery>

The "Yesmap" Matrix server and its "Pro-c MAP Activist" ("PCMA") workgroup have been used to share choices of targets and coordinate such activity, along with distributing anonymous, cryptocurrency-bought Twitter accounts to members. The server is also used to coordinate attacks on and harassment campaigns of anti-contact maps on the fediverse. Newgon claims that "In 2023, PCMA and the Yesmap server, having achieved most of its publicity goals via the prior strategy, each moved independently towards a model of increasing visibility via community-building efforts such as expansion of the Fediverse"<ref name="K"/>.

According to the Newgon wiki page "PCMA", "PCMA (and some of its predecessors) have been criticized, mainly by anarcho-communist MAPs, for tolerating lively debate (eventually this was moved to a separate space) and controversial opinions. Some members have also sought to mobilize chan culture"<ref name="K"/>. This article uses euphemistic terminology to relativize PCMA's common usage of bigotry, harassment, and alt-right tactics, and criticisms of it—throughout 2021 and 2022, Newgon and its associated projects did indeed begin to be heavily criticized by many leftist-aligned map activists, both anti-contact and pro-contact.

=== Exaggerating own importance ===

Upon joining the modern map community and map activism, Newgon members perpetuated several false claims regaring own role in the development of the map activism.

<blockquote>We have introduced new writers to NewgonWiki – founded in 2007 – the birthplace of the modern MAP Movement</blockquote>

- Newgon's Strategist on FreeSpeechTube<ref name="L" />

<blockquote>Founded in 2007, as the information center for the MAP Movement (coining the term and originating a flag concept);</blockquote>

<blockquote>We started the whole "MAP" thing</blockquote>

Both these claims are not true. See: [[Minor attraction|the history of the term "MAP"]] and [[MAP flag|the origins of the MAP flag]].

=== Misleading terminology ===

Other Newgon initiatives include misuse of terms "pro-choice", "anti-choice", "anti-offending".

* '''Renaming "pro-contact" to "pro-choice" and "pro-consent"'''

<blockquote>Pro-contact (or simply "pro-c") is a term used to describe a person - often an [''sic''] MAP or ally, as favoring the permittance of minor-adult physical/sexual relations - at least hypothetically.</blockquote>

- "Pro-c" on NewgonWiki as of 27 September 2021<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pro-c&oldid=7673 Pro-c], NewgonWiki as of 23:55, 27 September 2021.</ref>

<blockquote>Pro-c, (pro-consent/choice or contact) is a term used to describe a person - often an [''sic''] MAP or ally, as favoring the permittance of minor-adult physical/sexual relations - at least hypothetically.</blockquote>

- "Pro-c" on NewgonWiki as of 24 May 2022<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pro-c&oldid=12213 Pro-c], NewgonWiki as of 01:18, 24 May 2022.</ref>

On its Twitter accounts NewgonOrg<ref name="E">[http://web.archive.org/web/20220511194112/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg/status/1524474615745105928 Tweet by NewgonOrg], via the Wayback Machine, 11 May 2022. NewgonOrg's bio is visible in the background.</ref> and NewgonOrg2007<ref name="F">[http://web.archive.org/web/20221125122816/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg2007 Twitter account NewgonOrg2007], via the Wayback Machine, 25 November 2022.</ref>, Newgon claimed to be "pro-choice" in lieu of labeling itself as "pro-contact."

On the same page with responses to accusations Newgon has claimed: "'Pro choice' (which some of us do use) was an initiative of Allyn Walker, and possibly even the MAPs they were referring to in their book"<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Debate_Guide:_Newgon%27s_History&oldid=16581 Debate Guide: Newgon's History], NewgonWiki as of 23:27, 20 January 2023.</ref>. The book is unambiguously pointing towards maps as the source of this term.

<blockquote>When I asked them about this label during interviews, those who were referred to as pro-contact by anticontact MAPs pushed back against being labeled as such, preferring the term ''pro-choice''.</blockquote>

- Allyn Walker, ''A Long, Dark Shadow''<ref>[https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=05A801E49078F7FA7E535D1306D52D37 ''A Long, Dark Shadow'' by Allyn Walker], via Library Genesis.</ref>

That claim has also been removed after criticism from the wider community.

* '''Renaming "anti-contact" to "anti-choice"'''

This text by JohnHolt refers to anti-contact maps as "anti-choice"<ref>[https://www.boychat.org/messages/1591530.htm Paradox/fatal flaws of the Virped/NOMAP position.] by JohnHolt, via BoyChat, 4 May 2022.</ref>.

<gallery>

File:Antichoice.png|JohnHolt's text

</gallery>

* '''Ambiguous use of "anti-offending"'''

On its Twitter accounts<ref name="E">[http://web.archive.org/web/20220511194112/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg/status/1524474615745105928 Tweet by NewgonOrg], via the Wayback Machine, 11 May 2022. NewgonOrg's bio is visible in the background.</ref><ref name="F">[http://web.archive.org/web/20221125122816/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg2007 Twitter account NewgonOrg2007], via the Wayback Machine, 25 November 2022.</ref> and "Ethos of Newgon" page<ref name="C">[https://archive.ph/08rh9 of Newgon], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, Newgon has claimed to be "anti-offending" to mean being against contact when it breaks the law (although still pro-contact for when it is legal). However, "anti-offending" is typically used in contact discourse synonymously with "anti-contact".

=== False accusations ===
Newgon staff and members have repeatedly accused their opponents of various forms of abusive and disruptive behaviors. The following topics were featured:
* Doxxing accusations targeting admins of fediverse instances (Lecter, Kay);
* Implications that other map sites are funded by antis (nnia.space, the Map Wiki);
* Grooming and emotional manipulation accusations (with metaphorical comparisons to castration rituals);
* Plariagism accusations (covered further in the [[Newgon#Flags]] section).
In some cases the material for accusations has also been sourced from KiwiFarms.

=== Enabling CSEM ===

One of Newgon's affiliate sites, '''childlove.space''', contained multiple accounts posting images of children that failed the Dost test<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dost_test Dost test], Wikipedia.</ref>, with full awareness of the site administration. This has resulted in the site's domain being suspended. The admins soon rebuilt it as '''childlove.su''', and its old userbase migrated to the new address. Newgon activists were aware of these problems, since some of them were a part of childlove.space/su staff and others were active on these sites as users. However, NewgonWiki recommended childlove.su as a "generally safe" fediverse instance.
== Symbolism ==
==== Flags ====

In 2009 Newgon attempted to hold a contest for a map flag. The contest received several entries, but never reached the voting stage. None of the flags presented for the contest were used till 2021, when Newgon reemerged from the hiatus.

Pappy: Optimized version of the page. Part of content moved to Newgon/Records.

[[File:Newgon2007.png|thumb|right|alt=Newgon logo from 2007|Newgon logo from 2007]]

'''Newgon''' is a [[pro-contact]] map organization that calls itself an information center for the map movement. Its website is a MediaWiki-based site archiving talking points and arguments for pro-contact maps.

This article is a general description of Newgon, their affiliations, and activities. For more detailed evidence of claims presented here, see [[Newgon/Records]].
== History ==

Newgon was co-founded in 2007 by the pro-contact map activists Daniel Lièvre and Jillium after Google started censorship of small blogging sites<ref name="J">[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Newgon Newgon], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. Their biggest early project was a magazine titled ''Uncommon Sense'', coming out in 2009-2010. In 2014 the site was disabled, with the ISP requesting the administrator for contact. Soon, the site's domain expired and the site went fully offline.

In 2021 Newgon returned, relaunching by "previous associates of Newgon.com and its network of activists" and resuming editing of the Newgon Wiki with the domain newgon.net. In May 2022, an official Newgon Twitter account appeared<ref name="J" />. In June 2024, the site was altered so that newgon.net links redirect to wiki.yesmap.net. In addition to that, they now run a pro-contact activist group chat and have made several attempts to host a fediverse instance (childlove.space, childlove.su, which have been suspended for illegal content, and fedi.yesmap.net, the most recent one, which is currently active).
== Prominent members ==
* The Strategist. This is the current main admin of Newgon. He is also known as John Holt, Jim Burton, and Jamal Ross.
* Hina (HinamizawaShokogun22). This is a mod at some Newgon projects, such as PCMA and childlove.space and its continuations.
== Affiliations ==
Newgon, as a wiki, is closely affiliated with a number of other sites and social spaces. The administration and userbase of those heavily overlaps, and many of the actions, while done on behalf of different brand names, are directed by the same circle of people. For the sake of this article, next names might be used interchangeably with Newgon:

* '''Yesmap.net''': one of their main domains that also holds '''wiki.yesmap.net''' and '''fedi.yesmap.net'''.
* '''Fstube.net''': a video blog site advertized as a backup of a previosuly existing site '''FreeSpeechTube.org''', funded by Newgon<ref>[https://wiki.yesmap.net/wiki/NewgonWiki:Getting_involved NewgonWiki:Getting involved], via NewgonWiki.</ref>.
* '''PCMA''' ("Pro-c MAP Activism"): a Matrix chat consisting of several channels, previosuly hosted on '''yesmap.net''', currently hosted on '''needsmo.re''' and '''nekos.cafe'''.
* '''Nekos.cafe''': an element server and a fediverse instance, moderated by Hina, an active Newgon project participant.
* '''Map-union.org''': an informatiomal site and a forum, moderated by the main Newgon admin.
* '''Childlove.space''' (now suspended) and its continuations '''childlove.su''' (now suspended), '''childlove.top''' (currently active): fediverse instances, known for accepting nazis and hosting CSEM.
== Political stances ==
=== Contact stances ===

Newgon is a pro-contact organisation. Its stated goals are mostly related to destigmatization of youth attractions and sexual contact down to hebe age range (from 11 and above), as well as legalization of sex and marriage of adults with youth within this range. It promotes biologically and culturally essentialist view of hebephilia and ephebophilia, heavily leaning on the notion that girls are the most attractive and the most reproductively potent in the teen age range, and therefore it is "natural" for adult men to be primarily seeking them as sexual partners<ref>[https://archive.ph/GlukA File:Yessss.png], NewgonWiki via archive.today.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/00HOD File:Beachmeme.png], NewgonWiki via archive.today.</ref>.

Many of the materials on the NewgonWiki heavily suggest much wider spectrum of supported or tolerated views, such as "naturalness" of adult sexual contact with infants<ref name="M">[https://wierstamann.net/2023/06/25/ewgone-on-sex-with-babies/ Ewgone on sex with babies], via wierstamann.net, 25 June 2023.</ref>, rape apologism<ref>[https://archive.ph/6GgnE Rape] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, "Whilst as inherently damaging as any other form of highly intrusive physical assault, the psychological effects of rape often depend on taboo and post-traumatic intervention.".</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/FHZZA List of obfuscatory terms used by authorities] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, "Sex Trafficking - Usually consensual economic illegal immigration related to the sex industry."</ref>.

Newgon is known for its extreme and often conspiratorial viewpoints, suggesting that anti-contact people, among others, are "sex fascists"<ref>[https://archive.ph/ltZSZ Word Trickery], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Acda9 Grooming Reworked], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/0A0b1 Sex Fascist Bingo], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/B8OAZ Sex Fascists through the ages], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/6wtIJ Glass of Water with optimist, pessimist and Sex Fascists], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, control the contact stances of major governments<ref>[https://archive.ph/ERsKH List of CSA/anti-pedophile proponents: Global], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, and take part of a "child abuse industry" or "CSA-industrial complex"<ref>[https://archive.ph/qmkiC Debate Guide: Child abuse industry], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/bNywj The CSA-Industry], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Ofx8l The CSA-Industrial Complex], via NewgonWiki.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Sebri "Grooming" - according to America's insane CSA-Industrial-Complex], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. It is also opposed to equal treatment of many parts of the map community, such as people primarily attracted to children younger than the hebe age range (pedophiles, nepiophiles and infantophiles), people with violent attractions towards youth (sadists, biastophiles, etc)<ref>[https://www.map-union.org/encyclopedia/glossary Glossary] of map-union.org, citing biastomap and pedosadist identities as possible hoaxes.</ref>, and other paraphiliacs<ref>[https://archive.is/UdXJ0 Special Article: Anti-c MAP Tumblr, Twitter and Fediverse - Material for Character Analysis] on NewgonWiki via archive.today, referring to multiple paraphilias as a "freak show".</ref>.

Newgon also has been criticized for bigotry, such as misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, mapmisia, as well as ethnonationalist views, perpetuated on the wiki and in personal communication (see [Newgon/Records]).
== Activities and strategies ==
=== Wiki ===

Newgon collects information, including studies, quotes, opinion pieces, memes, and infographics. Some of the content they collected has been identified as bigoted, intentionally misleading, or promoting various types of abuse<ref>[https://nnia.space/@comrade_lecter/110616766395547688 A fediverse post by Lecter] from June 21, 2023, citing " removal of all ableist, fatphobic, transphobic, anti feminist, and otherwise degrading for marginalized people rhetoric; removal of positive and uncritical references to and quotes from people known for bigotry, abuse, and medical malpractice; separation from right wing ideologies and termination of attempts to appeal to right wingers and "bridge the gap"; termination of spreading deliberately incorrect information with the purpose of recruitment or generating outrage" as a list of demands towards Newgon.</ref>.

=== Trolling campaigns ===

One of the active strategies Newgon uses is trolling, "visibility campaining" or "tactical operations"<ref name="K">[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/PCMA PCMA], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, mostly done through disingenuous tactics such as fabricating credentials or other significant information, impersonating antis, impersonating anti-contact map activists (especially those who were visible opponents of Newgon) to attack or delegitimize them, spreading "ironic" bigoted rhetoric, arguing for stances they did not actually believe in, claiming certain opinions or events were far more common than they actually were, spreading false information, recycling pre-written lines<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Debate_Guide Debate Guide], via NewgonWiki.</ref> while passing them off as organic and spontaneous, and pretending to be engaged in entirely independent activism efforts rather than encouraged and backed by and working for an entire organization.

Early post-revival Newgon activities included spreading links to their wiki on Twitter while pretending to be reasearchers, sometimes specifically [[Child sexual abuse | CSA]] researchers<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211118085253/https://twitter.com/Alfred__Vincent/status/1461256014796398599 Alfred__Vincent on Twitter], via Wayback Machine.</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220317012125/https://twitter.com/JamalRossJr/status/1504266488571645960 JamalRossJr on Twitter], via Wayback Machine.</ref>. Efforts such as these are designed to boost Newgon and pro-contact visibility as much as possible thorugh negative attention from public<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231105142737/https://www.newgon.net/wiki/MAP_visibility_on_Twitter#2021_and_onward:_The_pro-c_renaissance MAP visibility on Twitter: 2021 and onward: The pro-c renaissance], via NewgonWiki.</ref>. Newgon members mainly targeted Twitter for these campaigns, but some also tried to do such activism) on other sites<ref name="L">[https://archive.is/AVKMS "Recruitment Drive for PCMA MAP Activist Team" on FreeSpeechTube], via archive.is, 11 August 2022.</ref>.

</gallery>

The "Yesmap" Matrix server and its "Pro-c MAP Activist" ("PCMA") workgroup have been used to share choices of targets and coordinate such activity, along with distributing anonymous, cryptocurrency-bought Twitter accounts to members. The server is also used to coordinate attacks on and harassment campaigns of anti-contact maps on the fediverse. Newgon claims that "In 2023, PCMA and the Yesmap server, having achieved most of its publicity goals via the prior strategy, each moved independently towards a model of increasing visibility via community-building efforts such as expansion of the Fediverse"<ref name="K"/>.

According to the Newgon wiki page "PCMA", "PCMA (and some of its predecessors) have been criticized, mainly by anarcho-communist MAPs, for tolerating lively debate (eventually this was moved to a separate space) and controversial opinions. Some members have also sought to mobilize chan culture"<ref name="K"/>. This article uses euphemistic terminology to relativize PCMA's common usage of bigotry, harassment, and alt-right tactics, and criticisms of it—throughout 2021 and 2022, Newgon and its associated projects did indeed begin to be heavily criticized by many leftist-aligned map activists, both anti-contact and pro-contact.

=== Exaggerating own importance ===

Upon joining the modern map community and map activism, Newgon members perpetuated several false claims regaring own role in the development of the map activism.

<blockquote>We have introduced new writers to NewgonWiki – founded in 2007 – the birthplace of the modern MAP Movement</blockquote>

- Newgon's Strategist on FreeSpeechTube<ref name="L" />

<blockquote>Founded in 2007, as the information center for the MAP Movement (coining the term and originating a flag concept);</blockquote>

<blockquote>We started the whole "MAP" thing</blockquote>

Both these claims are not true. See: [[Minor attraction|the history of the term "MAP"]] and [[MAP flag|the origins of the MAP flag]].

=== Misleading terminology ===

Other Newgon initiatives include misuse of terms "pro-choice", "anti-choice", "anti-offending".

* '''Renaming "pro-contact" to "pro-choice" and "pro-consent"'''

<blockquote>Pro-contact (or simply "pro-c") is a term used to describe a person - often an [''sic''] MAP or ally, as favoring the permittance of minor-adult physical/sexual relations - at least hypothetically.</blockquote>

- "Pro-c" on NewgonWiki as of 27 September 2021<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pro-c&oldid=7673 Pro-c], NewgonWiki as of 23:55, 27 September 2021.</ref>

<blockquote>Pro-c, (pro-consent/choice or contact) is a term used to describe a person - often an [''sic''] MAP or ally, as favoring the permittance of minor-adult physical/sexual relations - at least hypothetically.</blockquote>

- "Pro-c" on NewgonWiki as of 24 May 2022<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pro-c&oldid=12213 Pro-c], NewgonWiki as of 01:18, 24 May 2022.</ref>

On its Twitter accounts NewgonOrg<ref name="E">[http://web.archive.org/web/20220511194112/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg/status/1524474615745105928 Tweet by NewgonOrg], via the Wayback Machine, 11 May 2022. NewgonOrg's bio is visible in the background.</ref> and NewgonOrg2007<ref name="F">[http://web.archive.org/web/20221125122816/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg2007 Twitter account NewgonOrg2007], via the Wayback Machine, 25 November 2022.</ref>, Newgon claimed to be "pro-choice" in lieu of labeling itself as "pro-contact."

On the same page with responses to accusations Newgon has claimed: "'Pro choice' (which some of us do use) was an initiative of Allyn Walker, and possibly even the MAPs they were referring to in their book"<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=Debate_Guide:_Newgon%27s_History&oldid=16581 Debate Guide: Newgon's History], NewgonWiki as of 23:27, 20 January 2023.</ref>. The book is unambiguously pointing towards maps as the source of this term.

<blockquote>When I asked them about this label during interviews, those who were referred to as pro-contact by anticontact MAPs pushed back against being labeled as such, preferring the term ''pro-choice''.</blockquote>

- Allyn Walker, ''A Long, Dark Shadow''<ref>[https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=05A801E49078F7FA7E535D1306D52D37 ''A Long, Dark Shadow'' by Allyn Walker], via Library Genesis.</ref>

That claim has also been removed after criticism from the wider community.

* '''Renaming "anti-contact" to "anti-choice"'''

This text by JohnHolt refers to anti-contact maps as "anti-choice"<ref>[https://www.boychat.org/messages/1591530.htm Paradox/fatal flaws of the Virped/NOMAP position.] by JohnHolt, via BoyChat, 4 May 2022.</ref>.

<gallery>

File:Antichoice.png|JohnHolt's text

</gallery>

* '''Ambiguous use of "anti-offending"'''

On its Twitter accounts<ref name="E">[http://web.archive.org/web/20220511194112/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg/status/1524474615745105928 Tweet by NewgonOrg], via the Wayback Machine, 11 May 2022. NewgonOrg's bio is visible in the background.</ref><ref name="F">[http://web.archive.org/web/20221125122816/https://twitter.com/NewgonOrg2007 Twitter account NewgonOrg2007], via the Wayback Machine, 25 November 2022.</ref> and "Ethos of Newgon" page<ref name="C">[https://archive.ph/08rh9 of Newgon], via NewgonWiki.</ref>, Newgon has claimed to be "anti-offending" to mean being against contact when it breaks the law (although still pro-contact for when it is legal). However, "anti-offending" is typically used in contact discourse synonymously with "anti-contact".

=== False accusations ===
Newgon staff and members have repeatedly accused their opponents of various forms of abusive and disruptive behaviors. The following topics were featured:
* Doxxing accusations targeting admins of fediverse instances (Lecter, Kay);
* Implications that other map sites are funded by antis (nnia.space, the Map Wiki);
* Grooming and emotional manipulation accusations (with metaphorical comparisons to castration rituals);
* Plariagism accusations (covered further in the [[Newgon#Flags]] section).
In some cases the material for accusations has also been sourced from KiwiFarms.

=== Enabling CSEM ===

One of Newgon's affiliate sites, '''childlove.space''', contained multiple accounts posting images of children that failed the Dost test<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dost_test Dost test], Wikipedia.</ref>, with full awareness of the site administration. This has resulted in the site's domain being suspended. The admins soon rebuilt it as '''childlove.su''', and its old userbase migrated to the new address. Newgon activists were aware of these problems, since some of them were a part of childlove.space/su staff and others were active on these sites as users. However, NewgonWiki recommended childlove.su as a "generally safe" fediverse instance.

List of paraphilias

2024-07-27T00:25:08Z

Pappy:

This list of [[Paraphilia|paraphilias]] is inspired by the Wikipedia paraphilia list<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paraphilias List of paraphilias], Wikpedia.</ref> and includes content from several sources that were previously used by members of paraphiliac communities<ref>[https://archive.is/nTrQ0 A "Comprehensive" List of Paraphilias. 547 Entries.

This list is meant to respond to a need for a resource that is inclusive of nonsexual paraphilias and free of medicalizing and stigmatizing language.

== Welcome to MAP Wiki ==

MAP Wiki is a resource for maps, allies, and other interested people. Its main purpose is preserving information about minor/youth attraction, defining map terminology and describing relevant figures and events.

Social media have been notorious for deleting and erasing knowledge collected by map activists, so it’s time to put what we learned somewhere more permanent, for it to be accessed by new people in the community. There are only a few pages here now, but we welcome new contributors.

Map Emoji of the Month

2024-05-08T12:41:00Z

Pappy: /* List of emojis */

'''Map Emoji of the Month''' was an ironic trend among Twitter maps in 2020. It consisted of collectively choosing an emoji by vote and adding it to display names for a month.

== Background ==
This trend was caused by spite. [[Mapmisia | Antis]] would periodically make claims that maps use a specific emoji to identify each other - most commonly pear (🍐)<ref>[https://twitter.com/morimoomoo/status/1316826845971652608?lang=en morimoomoo] on Twitter.</ref>, which is actually used by sex workers and porn artists<ref>[https://tariqk.tumblr.com/post/188601611644/the-maps-coined-a-new-term-to-call-themselves tariqk] on Tumblr.</ref>, and clown face (🤡)<ref>[https://twitter.com/AvgNetflixUser/status/1071797194469064704?lang=en AvgNetflixUser] on Twitter.</ref>. Inaccuracy of these claims prompted several map Twitter bloggers to play into it in an absurd fashion. This trend was started and largely organized by Grumpy.

== List of emojis ==
* January - alien (👽)
* February - two hearts (💕)
* March - cherry blossom (🌸)
* April - bug (🐛)
* May - crayon (🖍️)
* August - likely white up-pointing triangle (△)
* October - likely cat (🐈)
* November - US flag (🇺🇸)

Nepiophilia

2024-05-02T21:40:56Z

Pappy:

[[File:Nepio flag.png|thumb|right|The nepiophile flag]]
'''Nepiophilia''' is an attraction to newborns, infants and toddlers under five years of age. Sometimes it is defined only as an attraction to toddlers, with '''infantophilia''' being a separate term for an attraction towards even younger ages. Sometimes these terms are seen as synonymous.

== History of the term ==
According to most researchers, the word "infantophilia" in its modern interpretation was first mentioned in "Infantophilia—A New Subcategory of Pedophilia?: A Preliminary Study" by David Greenberg<ref>Greenberg, David M.; Bradford, John; Curry, Susan. (1995). [https://jaapl.org/content/jaapl/23/1/63.full.pdf Infantophilia—A New Subcategory of Pedophilia?: A Preliminary Study]. ''Bull Am Acad Psychiatry Law'', Vol. 23, No. 1.</ref>, described there as "a sexual orientation for children less than five years old." This was later elaborated upon in "A Profile of Pedophilia: Definition, Characteristics of Offenders, Recidivism, Treatment Outcomes, and Forensic Issues"<ref>Hall, Ryan C. W. and Hall, Richard C. W. (2007). [https://archive.org/details/sim_mayo-clinic-proceedings_2007-04_82_4/page/457 A Profile of Pedophilia: Definition, Characteristics of Offenders, Recidivism, Treatment Outcomes, and Forensic Issues]. ''Mayo Clinic Proceedings'', Vol. 82, No. 4.</ref>. Previously it was interpreted along with the term nepiophilia by John Money as: "If the eligible partner is an infant, 'infantophilia' is the diagnostic term. If it is essential that the infant be wearing diapers, however, the Greek-derived term for the diapered infant, 'nepiophilia,' applies"<ref>Money, John. (1990). Pedophilia, New Phylism Theory, and Paraphilic Lovemaps. In Jay Feierman (Ed.), ''Pedophilia, Biosocial Dimensions'', 451. Springer. Retrieved from [https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=3CA15750CD7EC06C3052B55B5E16C76D Library Genesis].</ref>. However, this interpretation was later rejected because of the vagueness of the origin of such a peculiar and unconfirmed definition. Greenberg, on the other hand, is an exceptionally reliable source, as he studied actual MAPs rather than relying on theoretical assumptions.
== Etymology ==
The term consists of the Greek "νήπιος" (népios) meaning "infant" or "child," which derives from "ne" and "epos" meaning "not speaking." This is worth clarifying, as it is no less common for the variation of the origin of the term from an another Greek root "νέπους" or "νέποδες" meaning "children," or Latin "nepos," "nepotis" meaning "nephew" or "grandson," which does not explain the letter i in "nepio." And φιλία (philía) in turn means "love."

== Symbols ==
The nepiophile flag (pictured above) was designed by Pappy in March 2022. They also made a nepio caterpillar in 2020, taking inspiration from the [[childlove]] butterfly.

</gallery>

== Misconceptions ==
Empirical studies show that in the vast majority of cases nepiophilia does not overlap with [[Pedophilia|pedophilia]] and that among pedophiles the attraction to children of the nepiophile age group occurs in less than 10% of cases<ref>Bernard, Frits. (1985). [https://www.ipce.info/booksreborn/bernard/factual.htm#IV ''Paedophilia: A factual report'']. Enclave.</ref>, so the identification of nepiophilia and pedophilia or calling the former a sub-type of the latter is fundamentally wrong. In fact, nepiophilia is much less common than [[Hebephilia|hebephilia]] and [[Ephebophilia|ephebophilia]], making it the least common of the minor attractions. Due to that non-prevalence, there is much less publicly available information on it than on any other chronophilia. Although according to Howells (1981)<ref>Howells, Kevin. (1981). Considerations Relevant to Theories of Etiology. In Mark Cook and Kevin Howells (Eds.), ''Adult Sexual Interest in Children''. London: Academic Press.</ref>, Bernard (1982)<ref>Bernard, Frits.

MAP flag

2024-05-02T21:38:02Z

Pappy: /* Map and ally chevrons by Lecter */

'''Map flags''' are symbols, usually abstract, which represent [[minor attraction]] and [[Minor attraction|mapness]]. They are most often created in the style of other pride flags<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_flag Pride flag], Wikipedia.</ref>. When talking about a map flag, people most commonly refer to Stenna's seven stripe flag.

== Stenna's flag ==
[[File:MAP by Stenna.png|thumb|right|Stenna's map flag]]

=== Appearance ===
The flag appeared on Tumblr, June 13, 2018. It was posted on the blog ''dont-mistake-our-geography''. The original text of the post went as follows<ref>[https://archive.md/j2ZsP Stenna's post].</ref>:

<blockquote>ANTIS DO NOT INTERACT. The NOMAP community doesn't really have a pride flag, so in honor of pride month I designed a NOMAP pride flag. The top two stripes are blue to represent NOMAPs attracted to young boys. The bottom two stripes are pink to represent NOMAPS attracted to young girls. The inner stripes are yellow to represent childhood and general attraction to minors, regardless of their gender. The middle stripe is white to represent our innocence and unwillingness to offend. Please feel free to use this flag and make icons out of it etc! Hope you enjoy</blockquote>

The flag initially went unnoticed by the map community, but antis found this post and harassed the owner of the blog to deactivation within the following couple of days. Their username was picked up by an anti, which eventually led some sources, such as Snopes<ref>[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/maps-pride-flag/ Does This Image Represent a 'MAPs Pride Flag'?], Snopes.com.</ref> to claim that the flag was a hoax. Tumblr maps noticed this flag when Stenna was already deactivating, and picked it up largely out of a feeling of protest and desire to support a fellow community member. In a short while a large amount of edits and flag variations appeared.

Stenna themself, who was a nonbinary questioning map, did not disappear after deactivating their account. For a month or two afterwards, they co-moderated the blog ''cryptidsagainstantis''. That blog was eventually suspended by Tumblr, and Stenna hasn't openly appeared in the community since.

=== Influence ===
As the most popular flag, Stenna's flag spawned a lot of variations. These include thematic flags such as ocean map flag, usually based off aesthetics or fandoms, or overlapping identity flags that typically feature various queer identities such as the asexual map flag<ref>[https://paraflags-wiki.org/index.php/Queer_map_flags Queer map flags], Paraphilia+ Flags Wiki.</ref>.

A separate mention should concern a "yesmap" flag edit, made on [[Newgon]] in 2021, presumably as an ironic attempt at correction. Later Newgon tried to rebrand their flags as "united" map flags<ref>[https://wierstamann.net/2023/05/28/on-the-flag-drama/ On the flag drama], Wierstamann.</ref>.

Some people have attacked this flag for supposed support of laws and police, expressed by the "non-offending" part of "nomap," [[NOMAP|but on map Tumblr this word had a much more broad meaning, not tied to any particular legal system]].

== Other map flags ==
Like any other movement, maps periodically felt the need for a flag, and several versions have always coexisted.

=== 2009 Newgon flags ===
This flag has emerged during a contest on an online forum Newgon<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Flag_proposal_2009 Flag proposal 2009], NewgonWiki.</ref>. It was just one of the multiple entries, and the contest has never gotten to the voting stage. In a Newgon Wiki article edit dating 2021 there was an attempt to claim this flag as a "predecessor" of Stenna's flag, calling it the "initial concept" and referring to the 2018 flag as a "contrast version"<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=MAP_Flag&oldid=9881 Map Flag], NewgonWiki revision as of 19:23, 8 December 2021.</ref>. Visual differences between the two flags, as well as lack of communication between largely [[pro-contact]] Newgon and largely [[anti-contact]] map Tumblr make this attempt look rather questionable.

=== Glimmer and Kankri’s shield flags ===
These flags were created soon after Stenna's in the second half of 2018 in response to a demand for an alternative. The initial concept belonged to Glimmer, while Kankri is responsible for the lime-colored redesign.

=== Kinderfolk flag ===
This flag was designed by Steve Diamond on the May 19, 2019. It was connected to the Kind/Kinder identity, a pun on the German word for "child" and the English adjective "kind." It was meant to make a more "inclusive" alternative to Stenna's flag, primarily used by anti-contact maps<ref>[https://ourlovefrontier.wordpress.com/2020/05/19/the-kinderfolk-map-flag/ The Kinderfolk Map Flag...] Our Love Frontier.</ref>.

=== Acnomap flags ===
These flags were proposed in August of 2020 specifically for the anti-contact and non-offending part of the map community. They received some criticism for erasure of LGBT maps and capitulation to mapmisic pressure for maps to reassure that they do not consider mapness LGBT by default in any interaction mentioning LGBT, to reaffirm themselves as "the good ones" instead of malicious infiltrators.

Enbylove

2024-05-02T21:09:58Z

Pappy: /* History */

[[File:Enbylove new.png|thumb|The enbylove symbol]]
'''Enbylove''', '''enby child love''' or '''enby kid love''' is a MAP attraction to nonbinary youth. A person experiencing such an attraction is called an '''enbylover''' (commonly abbreviated as EL).

== Definition ==
Just like [[boylove]] and [[girllove]], enbylove is an orientation that does not indicate the map's own gender or any co-occurring attractions. Enbylovers who are attracted to particularly young enby children may call themselves little enby lovers, commonly abbreviated as LEL.
<gallery>
File:Little enby love new.png|The little enby love symbol
</gallery>

== History ==
Enbylove as a term was created as a nonbinary counterpart to existing map identities because attraction to nonbinary children cannot be grouped together with attractions towards boys or girls or made synonymous with [[childlove]], as it is not necessarily gender-blind and can exist as a clear preference.

The term has been in use since early 2019. It is unclear whether it was coined previously, and one of the coiners recalled it did not feel like making up something new, but filling a self-evident gap.

The first image, featuring the enbylove symbol, is a draft made by Pappy in July 2019 that also depicts experimental and discarded childlove symbols. A high quality EL logo appeared in March of 2020. In May of 2022, Pappy changed its shape to resemble the girllove symbol less. In June of 2023 Pappy and Lecter co-designed a teen enby lover symbol, meant for those who are attracted to nonbinary teenagers.

Pappy has also made an EL flag, following the line of CL/BL/GL [[MAP flag]] redesigns, started by Charles in 2018.
<gallery>

== Usage ==
Enbylove is an identity most popular with nonbinary MAPs, who make up a large percentage of online MAP spaces – around 30%, according to some polls<ref>[https://wierstamann.net/2023/03/20/maps-lgbt-and-strategic-erasure/ Maps, LGBT, and strategic erasure], Wierstamann.</ref>. There exists a sublabel of this identity, [[xiplove]], describing an attraction specifically to xenogender nonbinary youth.

Pro-consent or pro consent is an identity in contact discourse that has no independent meaning on its own. It spread due to a misunderstanding and gained popularity among both anti-contact and pro-contact ideologues who tried to make it synonymous with their political positions.

== History ==

It is unclear when term "pro-consent" was first used. In the beginning of 2020 an anti-map Twitter user that has misread "pro c" in a map's bio has popularized it for the first time. It is possible to assume that this blogger deabbreviated "pro c" in such a way because that map was talking about children consenting. Other sources point at NAMBLA as the origin.

Pro-contact map bloggers of Twitter liked this term and decided to use it. Anti-contact maps joined in a few days later, and since then "pro-consent" has had several short spikes of popularity among all camps of [[contact discourse]].
== Meanings ==
=== Pro-contact ===
Pro-contact ideologues define "pro-consent" as a position in defense of children being able to give consent to adults; pro enthusiastic relationships with children, anti forced sex with children.

=== Anti-contact ===
Anti-contact ideologues define "pro-consent" as respect for the fact that sometimes consent cannot and will not take place; against all relationships where consent is absent or dubious, including relationships between adults and children.

== Criticism ==
The term has been criticized as unnecessarily inflammatory, because it forces the "anti-consent" label onto the opponent.
In addition to that, its popularity among people across the entire contact discourse spectrum, as well as individual differences in the definition of "consent", decrease its usefulness as a political group label.

Its creation is periodically credited to an activist going by AP<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/AP AP], NewgonWiki.</ref>, who significantly invested in its promotion. According to his explanation of the symbol, the inner small heart represents a girl, but the outer heart, unlike the [[boylove]] logo, symbolizes a gender neutral adult. AP’s own site, Puellula, was also dedicated largely to girllove and girls and has been since suspended and excuded from the Wayback Machine.

</gallery>
It's possible to assume that at some point in the 00s the first design of the listed above was widespread in girllover communities. In 2007 it was recognized by a hostile-sounding commenter in someone's scarification result<ref>[https://news.bme.com/2005/09/12/assorted-trivia/ Assorted Trivia], BME News, see the comment by zeph at the bottom.</ref>. The commenter provided the following link: http://graphics.puellula.com/Spike.html. It is unclear whether this variant of the GL logo was referred to as the "Spike" logo, but it is not unlikely.

On some early sites, for instance, GirlWiki<ref>[https://archive.ph/fSlUp GirlWiki] via Archive Today. GirlWiki (childlover.org), despite not containing any illegal content, was removed from Wayback Machine, and now exists only as a zip archive in several places, including here https://faraday.quest/static/box/activism-archive/.</ref>, the outer heart is depicted as blue, presenting the adult as a man.

== Modern times ==
The little girl lover symbol was designed by Pappy in mid March 2020 on basis of the [[Boylove logo|little boy lover symbol]].
<gallery>
File:LGL symbol.png|The little girl love symbol
</gallery>

Nowadays some members of the map community draw parallels with [[Boylove_logo#The_Main_Logo|the boylove logo's history]] and regard the girllove logo as symbol, rooted in lesbian love (lesbian map attraction is called [[Uncommon_MAP_identities#Korephile|korephilia]]). However, almost everyone agrees that a map of any gender may use it.

Hebephilia is attraction towards people who appear to be young, pubescent adolescents. Typically, this word applies to adults or fully postpubescent adolescents, but prepubescent children with an attraction to the signs of puberty can also be called hebephiles, even though it is not necessarily abnormal. In literature, the age range of the people hebephiles find attractive is defined as 11-14 but in practice, it can be as high as 13-16 for people that go through male puberty. 

Hebephilia is much more widespread than younger [[minor attractions]].

== History ==
The term was first used in 1955 in ''Psychodynamic Patterns In The Sex Offender: Fear Of The Adult Female Sex Object And Feelings Of Genital Inadequacy''<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/10310639_Psychodynamic_patterns_in_sex_offender_I_Fear_of_the_adult_female_sex_object_and_feelings_of_genital_inadequacy HAMMER, E & GLUECK, B. (1955). Psychodynamic patterns in sex offender. I. Fear of the adult female sex object and feelings of genital inadequacy]. Proceedings of the annual meeting of the American Psychopathological Association. 157-68. </ref> by researchers Hammer and Glueck who sought to differentiate it from [[ephebophilia]]. 

Hebephilia and its validity as an age preference separate from [[pedophilia]] or ephebophilia is still a heated debate topic among scientists. However, there are multiple people whose reported life experiences fit this term, and hebephilia is now accepted as an independent identity in the [[MAP]] community. 

However, earlier MAP sources also occasionally confused it with other attractions. For instance, GirlWiki<ref>[https://archive.ph/fSlUp GirlWiki] via Archive Today. GirlWiki (childlover.org), despite not containing any illegal content, was removed from Wayback Machine, and now exists only as a zip archive in several places, including here https://faraday.quest/static/box/activism-archive/.</ref> used to say: "A hebephile (hebephilia/ephebophilila) is someone who has a sexual attraction to adolescents" and listed its upper [[age of attraction]] boundary as 16-17.

The most well-known hebephile is likely the fictional character, Humbert Humbert from “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov. Even though he is often characterized as a pedophile in literary analyses, he described his own attractions as attractions to girls “between the age limits of nine and fourteen” <ref>[https://onlinereadfreenovel.com/vladimir-nabokov/page,2,31638-lolita.html Nabokov V., “Lolita”].</ref>

== Prevalence ==
As with all MAP spectrum attractions, numbers greatly vary, and it is impossible to establish the exact percentage of hebephiles, but it is possible to estimate. According to data, presented by Tozdan S, Dekker A, Neutze J, et al. in ''Sexual Interest in Children Among Women in Two Nonclinical and Nonrepresentative Online Samples'', 9.5% women have sexual fantasies about pubescents <ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339794031_Sexual_Interest_in_Children_Among_Women_in_Two_Nonclinical_and_Nonrepresentative_Online_Samples Tozdan, Safiye & Dekker, Arne & Neutze, Janina & Santtila, Pekka & Briken, Peer. (2020). Sexual Interest in Children Among Women in Two Nonclinical and Nonrepresentative Online Samples], Sexual Medicine. 8. 10.1016/j.esxm.2020.01.007.</ref>. And Dr. Seto states that hebephilia is more common among men than attraction to middle-aged people <ref>[https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Puzzle-of-Male-Chronophilias-Seto/1b3a92af5906eb90956a11a003e0432b7d4aaf19 Seto, M.C. (2017). The Puzzle of Male Chronophilias], Archives of Sexual Behavior, 46, 3-22.</ref>. It is possible to say that at least 10-15% of the human population is naturally hebephiliac.

== Misconceptions ==
Hebephilia is frequently lumped together with other chronophilias both by people that believe adolescents are biologically children and by people who believe adolescents are biologically adults. The former think that hebephiles, by affirming their identity, are merely trying to opt out of pedophilia to escape the stigma. The latter claim the hebephiliac experience is normal, often by stereotyping all pubescent teenagers as physically developed girls in the ephebophiliac age range and denying the existence of exclusive teleiophilia.

Miao

[[File:Miao.svg|thumb|right|Miao]]
Miao is a minimalist drawing of a yellow cat. Their name means "mapness is an orientation". They have been actively used as a symbol of minor attraction on Twitter in 2020.

== Origins ==

=== The image ===

Initially nameless and apolitical, Miao was drawn by Lecter on the first of July, 2020. This drawing was meant to function as a custom cat emoji on nnia.space and in a map discord server, and it was inspired by several existing minimalist cat face emojis. Later that month Lecter used this image as an avatar on Twitter. It briefly became an inside joke on map Twitter, and several other people also set it as their avatar, which caught antis' attention.

=== The name ===

The cat remained nameless till October 2020, when Twitter updated their terms of service to outlaw "promoting or normalizing sexual attraction to minors as a form of identity or sexual orientation"<ref>[https://prostasia.org/blog/twitters-pedo-populism-setback-prevention/ Twitter’s pedo-populism is a setback for prevention], Prostasia.</ref>. The cat's name, an abbreviation from "mapness is an orientation", was meant to oppose this new policy. "Miao" is also how cats' meowing is written down in some languages, such as Italian<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meow Meow], Wikipedia.</ref>.

There also appeared a slogan "miao with me", but it did not gain wide popularity.

Anarcho-MAPism

2024-04-30T01:32:39Z

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

{{Clickable button 2|Русский|url=https://ru.map-wiki.com/index.php/Анархо-мапизм}}

[[File:Anarcho-MAP Flag (necromqncer).png|thumb|right|The Anarcho-MAP Flag]]

Anarcho-MAPism is an ideology which combines anarchist principles with the advocacy for the rights of minor attracted people.

== Definition ==
Anarcho-MAPism has been defined by its founder as an anarchist school of thought that focuses on MAP liberation in the context of anarchism, and advocates anarchism and social revolution as a means of MAP liberation and the abolition of mapmisia<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105129399025453677 Definition of Anarcho-MAPism]</ref>.

== History ==
The term was first coined by ComradeDeath on [[Online_map_communities#cite_note-11|nnia.space]] in October of 2020<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105129338122506946 First usage of the term]</ref>. This was preceded by several posts about how he believes anarchism and MAP liberation are inherently linked. 
The Anarcho-MAP Flag was created shortly afterwards by necromqncer on nnia.space<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105130243808642322 Anarcho-MAP Flag]</ref>. Another anarchist MAP Flag was also created by an unknown user on the same site<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ParaphiliaFlags/105129650621993853 Anarchist MAP Flag]</ref>.

== Basic Beliefs ==
The founder has outlined the primary focuses of Anarcho-MAPism as MAP liberation, sex and kink positivity, youth rights and an opposition to purity culture, the concept of thought crimes and the concept of normalcy.<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105129643183333893 The primary focuses of Anarcho-MAPism]</ref>. He also considered including CSA prevention as a secondary goal<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105136182794197885 CSA prevention as a focus of Anarcho-MAPism]</ref>. He further stated that the goal of Anarcho-MAPism isn't to "get an oppressive and bigoted system to accept [MAPs] by playing by its rules", but to "destroy that system"<ref>[https://nnia.space/@ComradeDeath/105136510733322582 Goal of Anarcho-MAPism]</ref>. 
 
Many goals of anarchism would, if implemented, inevitably benefit MAPs too. The abolishment of law enforcement would mean that MAPs can be open about their attraction without having to worry about being reported to the police, and that MAPs who struggle with staying non-offending can seek help without being locked up against their will. Prison abolition and the replacement of punitive justice with rehabilitation would mean that MAPs who do offend are still treated with dignity and kindness. The decriminalization of victimless crimes would mean that harmless expressions of minor attraction, such as fictional child pornography, would be completely legal.

== Criticism ==

Because Anarcho-MAPism is currently a very niche ideology, there has been very little criticism of it directly. However, there have been some instances of MAPs criticizing anarchism as a means to achieve MAP liberation<ref>[https://pawoo.net/@Liminal/108321802078857863 Criticism of anarchism as a means to achieve MAP liberation]</ref>, and many instances of anarchists criticizing MAP liberation<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/ Mapmisia in anarchist communities]</ref>. Because anarchism advocates for the liberation of all, anti-MAP anarchists often end up arguing against their own ideals.

Childlove

[[File:CL sun symbol.png|thumb|right|The childlove symbol]]
Childlove is a MAP attraction to children. There are two ways to define childlove. As an attraction to children without a gender preference and as an umbrella term for [[girllove]], [[boylove]], and [[enbylove]]<ref>[https://www.boywiki.org/en/Childlover Childlover], BoyWiki.</ref>. A person experiencing such an attraction is called a childlover (commonly abbreviated as CL).

== Definition ==
“Childlove” is a literal translation of the term “[[pedophilia]]”. A now deleted Wikipedia entry titled “Childlove movement” states that “The movement seeks to eliminate… the use of the term "pedophilia" over the relatively unknown terms childlove and childlover.”<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051101165116/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childlove_movement Childlove movement on Wikipedia], via Wayback Machine.</ref> An entry “Childlover” (also deleted) describes the difference between a childlover and a pedophile as “while pedophiles are normally grouped four categories: homosexual male and female, and heterosexual male and female; childlovers identify themselves by the gender of their objects of attraction, thus homosexual male pedophiles and heterosexual female pedophiles who self-identify as childlovers are both "boylovers", while heterosexual male pedophiles and homosexual female pedophiles who self-identify as childlovers are "girllovers".”<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051031040826/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childlover Childlover on Wikipedia], via Wayback Machine.</ref>.

This term seems to have appeared both as attempt to bring the [[boylove]] and [[girllove]] communities together and to replace "pedophilia" with a less stigmatized word (which is not a popular idea in the contemporary MAP movement). Nowadays some maps use the word "childlove" to mean love towards children in the general sense, including wishing children well and trying to positively engage with their lives. This serves the same purpose as the Zeta zoos' attempts to define zoophilia as care and respect towards animals<ref>[https://wierstamann.net/2023/03/18/zoophilia-zoosadism-zeta/ Zoophilia, zoosadism, ZETA], Wierstamann.</ref> - softening the public image of this paraphilia and making it sound more virtuous than just a plain attraction. Such cases sometimes cause controversy within the community.

Childlovers who are attracted to particularly young children may call themselves little child lovers, commonly abbreviated as LCL.

== History ==
The first childlove symbol, also referred to as CLogo, was developed by a group called the “CLogo Team” in the Netherlands. They made it in late June of 2001<ref>[https://ourlovefrontier.wordpress.com/page-the-clogo-historical-documents/#top The CLogo Historical Documents, The Official Introduction], Our Love Frontier.</ref> and have trademarked it on 15 February, 2002<ref>[https://archive.ph/U1I9X#selection-659.1-659.275 CLogo.org] via Archive Today.</ref>.

== Criticism ==
Some MAPs have criticized the childlove identity as excluding aromantic maps. It is also unclear whether hebephiles and especially ephebophiles are included under this term, since the age groups they are attracted to are not children.

Contact-neutral

{{Clickable button 2|Русский|url=https://ru.map-wiki.com/index.php/Контакт-нейтральность}}

Contact-neutral or contact neutral is an identity in [[contact discourse]]. Contact-neutral people do not consider themselves either [[pro-contact]] or [[anti-contact]] and typically oppose being grouped with either.

== Meaning ==

Being contact-neutral can mean not having strong opinions on the ethics of youth age gap relationships or refusing to express opinions and pick a side. Those who hold this label agree that they don't identify as neither pro-, complex- nor anti-contact, and usually do not associate their personal stances with those listed. The underlying reasons are highly individual. Very often contact-neutral people dislike contact discourse and consider it counterproductive and irrelevant, and sometimes this label is adopted by those who used to align with either pro or anti-contact positions, but ended up no longer wanting to engage with this discourse. Some contact-neutral people actively invest in other spheres of activism, such as creating support networks for maps or educating people about youth liberation, and simply avoid political statements on the topic of relationships between adults and children as way less important. Some choose to exist in the map community apolitically. 

== Subjective interpretations ==

Contrary to popular belief, contact-neutrality does not necessarily denote apoliticality. One may consider oneself contact-neutral, but support one or more, sometimes even all of the other sides of contact discourse, their concepts or ideas, yet refrain from directly campaigning for any of them or spreading as objectively true. For example, many contact-neutral people put map unity first, preach tolerance of all maps, and view contact labels and radical representatives of either stance as a potential threat. 

This fully applies to those who believe that contact discourse is the cause of disputation between maps, and therefore seek to prevent aggressive contact discourse in order to avoid the separation of one side or the other, as well as any kind of social polarization within the community. At times this implies the use of any means, and thus the possibility of political agitation for unity regardless of the contact label, rather than for the ideas of acceptability or unacceptability, healthiness or unhealthiness of relationships with youth. 

== Misconceptions ==

Pro-contact and anti-contact radicals both falsely accuse contact-neutral people of secretly belonging to the opposite side. Being contact-neutral is also different from being [[contact-complex]], because the latter implies a system of complicated and sometimes rather detailed views

=== Difference from contact-complex ===

As noted above, a person who positions themselves as a contact-neutral may at the same time support or adhere to any other already existing position, so there can possibly be an overlap between contact neutrality and the views that fall under the definition of [[contact-complex]] or any other ideology in some instances, which does not create any contradictions with the lexical and sociological definitions of the contact neutrality concept. However, these terms per se are not identical.

Contact discourse

2024-04-30T01:20:00Z

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

'''Contact discourse''' is discourse<ref>Discourse. (n.d.). In Wikipedia. Retrieved May 13, 2022, from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse]</ref> about sexual, romantic, or occasionally sadistic, discourse-context, social, emotional, platonic, queerplatonic, or familial interactions, contact, and/or relationships between certain demographics of individuals. The term has only been applied so far to discourse about contact with other individuals, beings, or agents whose ability to consent is in contention; or acting on certain paraphilias—and by extension, the behaviors associated with acting on those paraphilias in general, even if the individual performing the same behaviors is motivated by factors other than the associated paraphilia.

There are several debated aspects all commonly lumped under “contact discourse”: whether the aforementioned contact can be consensual; whether or not it is moral; whether or not it is ethical; whether or not it is harmful; how likely it is to be physically or psychologically harmful; how harmful it is likely to be; how physically or psychologically beneficial it is likely to be; whether or not it is significantly likely to be harmful; whether or not it poses a sufficiently high risk of harm as to be unethical; whether or not it is abusive; whether or not it is nonconsensual, unethical, risky, or abusive in some cases but not in others, and if so, in which cases; whether or not it is advisable to engage in contact; whether or not it should be prevented or stopped by outsiders through informational, persuasive, forceful, coercive, legal, or carceral means; whether or not the above conclusions would be different in a past, present, or future environment in which external conditions are vastly different; and whether or not conclusions regarding the above adhere to principles of other political, moral, ethical, or metaethical philosophies.

== Labels ==

Most contact discoursers (individuals who participate in contact discourse) label themselves as [[anti-contact]], [[contact-neutral]], [[contact-complex]] or [[pro-contact]]. Many also assign significant personal, moral, ethical, emotional, social, cultural, or political relevance or value to their or others’ contact discourse labels.

=== Label abolition ===

Some contact discoursers find contact labels too vague or rigid to define their own stances. Some apply this universally, and believe the labels are too vague or rigid to define any stances in contact discourse. Some do not believe the labels should exist at all, as they are meaningless, useless, or create or define a discourse which unnecessarily and harmfully divides otherwise-united paraphilia communities. Several of these individuals identify as (contact discourse) label abolitionists.

== Youth contact discourse ==

The most common discourse currently labeled “contact discourse” is discourse about sexual or romantic relationships with youth which involve significantly large age gaps, commonly labeled “MAP contact discourse” because of the common association between mapness and offending against youth, and because anti-contact MAP activists want to distinguish themselves from historical and currently widespread MAP movements which were and are primarily pro-c. For some anti-c’s, this is just a practical distinction, while for others, it is necessary for assimilation and destigmatization.

=== Its adjacence to MAP discourse ===

Several MAP contact discoursers disagree with the association of youth contact discourse with MAP discourse, instead deeming it exclusively a youth rights issue. Both anti-contact and pro-contact MAPs have expressed disagreement. Some anti-contacts believe youth contact discourse is an inherently MAP issue because, according to them, MAPs are overly and harmfully stereotyped as pro-contact and/or are more likely to offend. Some pro-contacts believe youth contact discourse is an inherently MAP issue because, according to them, the ability to act on their attractions is also their right as MAPs.

=== Terminology meta-debates ===

MAP activist and prominent contact discourser Lecter has criticized usage of the term “interactions” in the context of youth age gap discourse for being too broad, and thus potentially including instances which he does not consider relevant to the discourse or which are considered unethical when they should not be; he believes that “relationships” is sufficient, as he believes the defining factor of whether a relationship in such cases is problematic is the presence “pair-bonding” or intimacy<ref>Lecter. (2020, May 10). My anti contact manifesto. MAP Science Archive. Retrieved May 13, 2022, from [https://wierstamann.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/my-anti-contact-manifesto/ https://wierstamann.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/my-anti-contact-manifesto/]</ref>.

Pro-MAP activist FinR has emphasized on several instances that “non-contact” is a term denoting non-contact child sexual offenders such as CSEM offenders, online offenders, or flashers, implying that using “anti-contact” to denote being against all of the above is etymologically inaccurate or politically insufficient, as they believe it is optimal or necessary to primarily adhere to technical definitions, and under those definitions the above are not technically considered “contact.” Multiple anti-MAP anti-contact activists adhere to a conspiracy theory that the “anti-contact” label is an attempt to subtly promote non-contact offenses, as it, if its definition is taken at technical face value, might not technically condemn non-contact offending and thus could be a way for secretly pro-c MAPs to manipulate vulnerable anti-c MAP sympathizers into becoming pro-contact while still appearing to outsiders to be anti-c.

At least one person has attempted to redefine the discourse as “anti-offending” versus “pro-offending” for clarity. Several MAPs have criticized such initiatives, as well as other attempts to use “offending” as a relevant or necessary term in contact discourse, because it is even more ambiguous or because they believe the most correct or optimal definition of “offending” in this context is its legal definition, and they disagree with legalism, the current laws’ definitions of what constitutes a sex offense, or the legal system’s treatment of people they deem sex offenders. Most contact discoursers who participate in what they are aware is commonly termed “contact discourse” in certain circles agree that “contact” is the most politically useful and potentially inclusive umbrella term they could come up with for now.

Occasional people have brought up the question of whether queerplatonic relationships should be included in contact discourse. Lecter, to whom it was brought up in a few instances, stated that since he does not experience queerplatonic attractions or engage in queerplatonic relationships he is not qualified to speak on them; no further conclusion has been reached regarding the question by anyone else in any other instances.

Many anti-MAPs consider any nonsexual nonromantic interactions between MAPs and minors at all, such as platonic or social contact, as “offending” and “pro-contact.” MAPs and allies generally agree that this is an inaccurate, over-broad, and entirely useless expansion of the terms, based on blatant bad-faith misinterpretations of their intended meanings when they were initially coined as well as how they are actually used by MAPs and allies.

Many anti-MAPs fell for a 4chan psyop which claimed it believed contact between “clovergender” or “kindergender” chronological adults and chronological children is ethical, harmless, or otherwise acceptable, and proceeded to ascribe that belief to every instance of pro-transage<ref>Angel. (n.d.). Trans-age info carrd [Carrd]. Carrd.co. Retrieved May 13, 2022, from [https://trans-age.carrd.co/ https://trans-age.carrd.co/]</ref> activism. However, actual youth contact discourse almost always takes into account only the individuals’ chronological ages when evaluating whether or not the contact is consensual, moral, ethical, harmful, risky, or abusive. Every known self-identified anti-contact transage MAP believes in only drawing the lines based on chronological age, and every actual pro-contact transage MAP believes all contact in the above cases is safe/ethical regardless of whether or not the individuals involved are transage or cisage.

For convenience, “contact” in this section of this article will be used to refer to sexual or romantic interactions, contact, or relationships, “safe” will be used to mean “has a sufficiently low risk of resulting in physical or psychological harm,” and “risky” will be used to mean “has a significantly high risk of resulting in physical or psychological harm.”

=== Parameters ===

A variety of conflicting opinions exist within youth contact discourse sphere on what constitutes “contact” and what constitutes “youth.” Some anti-contacts take issue with any age-gap relationships, including age-gap relationships between consenting adults; a few wish to raise the age of consent to twenty-five years old. This stance is not popular in many progressive spaces.

Many people wish for contact discourse to be defined based on opinions regarding contact between adults and minors. Some contact discoursers point out that “minor” is an oppressive legal and social construct rooted in morality and not biology which does not even exist in every country, and thus many youth to whom the discourse is relevant and who are not technically minors are therefore excluded by the above definition. Furthermore, in a country where an eighteen-year-old is considered an adult and a seventeen-year-old is considered a minor, for example, a relationship between them would also technically fall under “adult-minor contact.”

Some choose to define the debate as regarding contact between adults and children. Many of the above individuals consider all minors, including teenagers or adolescents, to be children. This is biologically inaccurate<ref>Iris. [Post]. Tumblr. Retrieved May 13, 2022, from [https://web.archive.org/web/20220227203904/https://anankastia.tumblr.com/post/672214691231170560/biologically-socially-yes-you-are-still-a-child https://web.archive.org/web/20220227203904/https://anankastia.tumblr.com/post/672214691231170560/]</ref>. Those who do not usually equate adolescents with teenagers, despite “teenager” being an English-language-based social construct not inherently based in biology either. Some contact discoursers, such as FinR, believe the line between childhood and adolescence nevertheless happens to fall between ages twelve and thirteen by coincidence. Others, such as Lecter, believe the line is between ages ten and eleven. Others believe it is even lower, such as eight or nine, or dislike strict age delineations of developmental stages in contact discourse because every individual begins and ends puberty at a different age, and the average ages thereof can vary across different time periods and locations. Intersex contact discourser Necryssa has criticized attempts to draw the line at physical developmental stages, as they exclude individuals like her who went through puberty much later than average. Others have criticized the excessive and sole focus on physical developmental stages rather than mental or psychological ones, as the latter are likely far more relevant in determining psychological harm.

Varying opinions exist regarding the definition of “adult” as well. Lecter believes the ideal definition is that of biological adulthood, which he states begins at the end of puberty and certain mental stages of development, which according to him conveniently coincide with his local AoC of sixteen<ref>Lecter. (2020, May 10). My anti contact manifesto. MAP Science Archive. Retrieved May 13, 2022, from [https://wierstamann.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/my-anti-contact-manifesto/ https://wierstamann.wordpress.com/2020/05/10/my-anti-contact-manifesto/]</ref>. Some other contact discoursers define adulthood as beginning from age eight, age fourteen, or some other age in between. Far more define an adult as someone who is legally or socially an adult by current popular conceptualizations; individuals who believe this believe someone becomes an adult when they turn eighteen, twenty, twenty-one, or twenty-five years old because of USA-like age of consent/age of majority laws or social norms, or the belief that the brain “finishes developing” when one turns eighteen, twenty, twenty-five, etc. respectively.

Some believe contact even between adolescents who are of the same age is inherently immoral, unethical, nonconsensual, harmful, risky, abusive, necessary to prevent, or otherwise wrong. Some believe that all contact between similar-in-age children is risky but no contact between similar-in-age adolescents is. Some believe some contact between similar-in-age children is risky, but the same contact is safe when between similar-in-age adolescents. Some believe some contact between similar-in-age adolescents is risky, but is not when it is between adults. Some make different specific distinctions for infants, toddlers, and children of varying ages. There have been numerous debates attempting to delineate exact ages between which the age gap is sufficiently small so that all parties involved could be considered “peers” and thus their interactions safe.

Some pro-c’s draw the line at age seven, five, or even younger and support contact with extremely young children, sometimes even including toddlers, infants, or newborns, citing body language and indicative of consent and/or harmlessness.

=== Stance definitions ===

Some contact discoursers, primarily anti-contacts, view support of enjoying, masturbating to, downloading, or distributing CSEM as pro-contact. Some anti-CSEM anti-contacts view CSEM discourse as separate from contact discourse, or as something whose stances should be defined separately from those of contact discourse regarding direct contact itself. Varied opinions among individuals of all contact stances exist regarding whether or not viewing, enjoying, masturbating to, downloading, or distributing CSEM produces tangible harm. Some anti-CSEM anti-contacts view CSEM consumption as unethical, but no more unethical than consumption of any other product of capitalist exploitation. Some law-enforcement-abolitionist anti-CSEM anti-contacts view law enforcement internally viewing, downloading, or distributing CSEM as unethical as well, while the more pro-law-enforcement Some pro-contacts support contact but not the existence of records thereof because of a general anti-porn stance, including porn of consenting adults; some pro-contacts support the existence of recordings of contact they deem consensual/moral/ethical/safe/harmless/non-abusive; some pro-, neutral-, and anti-contacts support viewing, enjoying, masturbating to, downloading, and/or distributing what they deem to be “actual CSEM” as mostly or entirely harmless and only condemning the production thereof as harmful or unethical; a few pro-contacts support all of the above. Differing opinions exist regarding whether or not CSEM of dead children should be allowed to continue to exist, whether or not it is ethical to view, download, distribute, and/or refuse to remove CSEM of victims who retroactively consent for it to be viewed, downloaded, and/or distributed; what is sufficiently sexual to technically constitute CSEM; whether or not nudity is inherently sexual; whether or not an unrelated individual sexualizing a previously-nonsexual photo of a child makes it into CSEM; whether or not borderline-CSEM such as certain family photographs, modeling photographs, films, should be censored; whether or not it is ethical at all to share any photographs or videos of youth without their full informed consent; whether or not youth can consent to being recorded for work or public image purposes; whether or not youth can consent to working under capitalism at all; whether or not sexual imagery taken by youth of their own accord and only kept to themselves or distributed consensually to other youth similar in age can be considered CSEM; whether or not sexual art of an unaware youth kept private constitutes CSEM; whether or not publicly distributing the aforementioned art or directly showing it to its subject retroactively makes it into CSEM; whether or not sexual art depicting youth actors constitutes CSEM; whether or not the aforementioned art is harmful, unethical, should be censored, or should be discouraged; et cetera. Some contact discoursers dislike the term “CSEM” because they adhere strictly to official definitions and current official definitions define as “CSAM” what this article calls “CSEM” while defining “CSEM” to include items they do not consider CSAM or harmful or exploitative, such as self-taken nudes by youth or art of fictional characters. Other contact discoursers disagree with both official definitions as insufficiently broad. Contact discoursers who are against fictional art depicting fictional child sexual abuse often call the art “CSEM” as well.

Some behaviors in contention regarding whether or not they constitute “romantic interactions,” “romantic contact,” “romantic relationships,” or “romantic abuse” include a significantly older individual casually flirting with a youth without intent to pursue an actual romantic relationship, a significantly older individual telling a youth they experience romantic attraction to them, a significantly older individual not reacting appropriately to a youth telling them they experience romantic attraction to them, hugging with or without romantic intent while not explicitly mentioning romantic intent, hugging from a significantly older MAP while having romantic thoughts regarding the youth which they do not mention, hugging from a significantly older individual with intrusive non-attraction-based thoughts about dating the youth, kissing which in some cultures is considered inherently romantic or a romantic gestures while in other cultures it is not, et cetera.

In general contact discourse (not necessarily by individuals who are aware of the existence of the term “contact discourse”), even more behaviors are commonly in contention (even among “radical anti-contacts”) regarding whether or not they constitute “sexual interactions,” “sexual contact,” “sexual relationships,” or “sexual abuse.”

Some statist anti-contacts view one’s stance on AoC laws as the final arbiter of whether or not someone is pro-contact or anti-contact; anarchist anti-contacts who do not support the existence of any state-enforced laws at all have pushed back on this, citing alternatives for preventing and stopping contact from occurring.

Every pro-c identifies as pro-c because they believe contact has a sufficiently low risk of psychological harm to the youth, or would in a future in which adultism has been abolished; no self-identified anti-c holds such beliefs. Many also consider the contact’s supposed ability to be consensual, universal harmlessness, benefit, ethicalness, or adherence to anarchist/youth-liberationist/radical-autonomist ideals, or the unethicalness of attempting to prevent or stop contact, as the reasons why they are pro-contact. However, there are individuals who identify as anti-contact and believe occasionally contact will not produce harm; that youth can consent but will still likely be harmed; that contact does fall under what their own personal philosophical frameworks consider moral or ethical, but still is risky; or that contact is wrong, but should not be resolved through punitive, coercive, legal, or carceral means as they are opposed to the latter on principle as a whole, and there are pro-contacts who believe contact is always harmful in adultist worlds or cultures but would not be harmful in worlds or cultures in which youth are liberated. Thus, when reduced, the fundamental cornerstone or single common denominator among pro-contacts is a belief in lack of inherent harm—that is, harm based on differences that would occur between youth and significantly older individuals regardless of surrounding environment, such as the inherent age/time/number-of-years-in-experience difference (or unless the youth or significantly older individuals were drastically physically altered through technological means we do not have currently available).

Attempts at delineating strict definitions of contact discourse stances that are to be generally agreed upon for purposes of convenience and making the discourse less confusing and messy have never been successful, as each attempt generates several more rounds of discourse, with multiple different people holding different opinions about which definitions are optimal, and many refusing to adhere to the proposed definitions because their own stances do not fit neatly into their recommended guidelines.

=== Social, cultural, and political implications ===

Neutral-contact MAPs have expressed feeling alienated by both sides of the debate. Anti-centrist anti-contacts and pro-contacts alike have expressed feeling frustration at neutral-contacts' refusal to fully or properly take a side in what they view as an extremely morally important discourse. Anti-contacts and pro-contacts, particularly if they are radicals, often aggressively exclude or harass people on the other side of the discourse. Social ostracization, shaming, and callouts over contact discourse also frequently occur. Many anti-contacts view opposition to pro-contacts as necessary for their goal of assimilation, and some pro-contacts view opposition to anti-contacts as necessary for their goal of assimilation.

Pro-contact MAP activism, both online and offline, increases motivation to and rates of offending, often directly. Many pro-contact individuals have been arrested for their pro-contact activism and their organizations forcibly disbanded. Some countries censor pro-contact rhetoric. Many former pro-contacts have expressed that they might have offended had they not encountered anti-contact rhetoric.

== Incest contact discourse ==

While incest is not technically considered a paraphilia under most official psychiatric definitions, it does fall under “non-normative attraction,” and paraphiles generally agree that a pattern of knowing attraction to one’s close relatives does constitute a paraphilia. The terms “pro-contact” and “anti-contact” have been used for incest discourse. Incest discourse stances usually specify, or at least specify when questioned, different stances when considering different specific incestuous relationship dynamics.

== Bestiality contact discourse ==

Contact discourse regarding bestiality, particularly bestiality between humans and non-human animals, as well as romantic relationships between humans and non-human animals, is often termed “zoo[phile/philia] contact discourse” because of the association between zoophiles or zoophilia and the aforementioned interactions, contact, and relationships. Some contact discoursers support romantic relationships with animals but not sexual ones. Some contact discoursers believe the former cannot exist, while the latter does. Some contact discoursers support both, but not attractions to what they deem as actually harming or abusing animals. These people struggle to answer coherently when asked about their stances regarding sexual contact between humans and small animals who would be physically harmed by sex. Most or all pro-bestiality individuals are not pro bestiality for all species. Discourse also occurs claiming some specific types of sexual behaviors with animals are okay but not others, or that certain behaviors indicate consent on the part of the animal. Some discourse has occurred regarding whether or not it is ethical to adopt and raise young animals with the intent of having sex with them later.

Many pro-bestiality zoophiles reject the label “pro-contact,” instead opting for “pro-practicing” as it carries fewer negative connotations. Lecter proposed that “contact” labels remain, but that “offending” versus “non-offending” should be reserved for discourse surrounding contact which is nonconsensual, unethical, abusive, or risky, and “practicing” versus “non-practicing” for discourse surrounding contact which is consensual, ethical, non-abusive, safe. Some necrophiles and corpse contact discoursers have also adopted the terms “practicing” and “non-practicing.” Pro-contact MAPs have not however, to date, attempted to use “practicing” to mean engaging in contact with youth.

== Sadism contact discourse ==

Discourse surrounding consensually-acted-upon sadism fetishes, kinks, or paraphilias is not generally labeled “contact discourse.” There is discourse labeled “contact discourse,” however, about the ethics of nonconsensually physically or psychologically harming youth or having certain interactions with them while having attractions to harming them, and about the ethics of nonconsensually physically or psychologically harming non-human animals or having certain interactions with them while having attractions to harming them.

Suspended Twitter user @zoosunited, possibly a troll, made a series of viral tweets arguing for why torturing animals should be considered ethical. Their statements were heavily criticized by both anti-zoos and zoophiles themselves. Others have discoursed about whether or not it is ethical to kill animals, torture animals such as bugs, factory-farm them, consume meat, have sex or other sexual interactions with them even if they do not consent or actively express discomfort, et cetera.

== Corpse contact discourse ==

Some antis and assimilationist paraphiles have “neutral/pro-contact necrophiles” on their DNIs. Some paraphiles identify as “anti/neutral/pro-contact for necrophilia/corpses” or “anti/neutral/pro-contact necrophiles.” Many people, particularly antis, are against contact with corpses for moral, virtue-ethicist, religious, spiritual, or disgust-reflex-based reasons, or because they believe diseases will result and that people do not have the right to harm themselves. Some people are against contact only when the owner of the corpse does not consent, or when people such as the dead person’s family or friends who would be distressed knowing contact took place do not consent or are distressed by it. Some people are against contact only if the owner of the corpse did not consent to it beforehand. This stance also raises questions about whether or not other nonconsensual postmortem actions are ethical either. Contact stances regarding the corpses of dead non-human animals vary as well.

== Contact discourse regarding exclusively inanimate objects ==

Some paraphiles have jokingly labeled themselves as “pro-contact” in cases in which the other item one is dating or having sex with is an inanimate object which was always an inanimate object, such as a plushie. To date, no one against such behaviors has chosen to label themself as “anti-contact” over their stance.

[[File:Enbylove new.png|thumb|The enbylove symbol]]
Enbylove, enby child love or enby kid love is a MAP attraction to nonbinary youth. A person experiencing such an attraction is called an enbylover (commonly abbreviated as EL).

== Definition ==
Just like [[boylove]] and [[girllove]], enbylove is an orientation that does not indicate the MAP’s own gender or any co-occurring attractions. Enbylovers who are attracted to particularly young enby children may call themselves little enby lovers, commonly abbreviated as LEL.
<gallery>
File:Little enby love new.png|The little enby love symbol
</gallery>

== History ==
Enbylove as a term was created as a nonbinary counterpart to existing MAP identities because attraction to nonbinary children cannot be grouped together with attractions towards boys or girls or made synonymous with [[childlove]], as it is not necessarily gender-blind and can exist as a clear preference.

The term has been in use since early 2019. It is unclear whether it was coined previously, and one of the coiners recalled it did not feel like making up something new, but filling a self-evident gap. 

The first image, featuring the enbylove symbol, is a draft made by Pappy in July 2019 that also depicts experimental and discarded childlove symbols. A high quality EL logo appeared in March of 2020. In May of 2022, Pappy changed its shape to resemble the girllove symbol less.

Ephebophilia is attraction to freshly postpubescent young people, typically in the age range from 15 to 19.

== Inclusion in MAP Attractions ==
Despite being an attraction to biologically developed individuals, ephebophilia is frequently grouped together with attractions of the MAP spectrum. This happens because of the stigma shared by older people who find themselves attracted to the youth in the Western society, as well as an [[Ageism|ageist]] idea that older teenagers are in some ways equivalent to children, and associated with that legal status of a minor a large fraction of this age group has. Ephebophiles are not inherently classified as MAPs, but may identify as such.

== History of The Term ==
The term itself comes from the Greek word “ephebos” (ἔφηβος), denoting a young man (17-20) training to become a full citizen<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebos Ehebos], via Wikipedia.</ref>. It was coined by French doctor Georges Saint-Paul in his work ''Tares et Poisons: Perversion et Perversité Sexuelles'', where he was attempting to classify male homosexuality<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4595948/#fnr94 Janssen D. F. (2015). 'Chronophilia': Entries of Erotic Age Preference into Descriptive Psychopathology]. Medical history, 59(4), 575–598. https://doi.org/10.1017/mdh.2015.47</ref>. This term gained more traction and relative popularity in the middle of the 20th century.

== Misconceptions ==
Some, including prominent researchers <ref>[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-021-02271-7 Lievesley, R., Swaby, H., Harper, C.A. et al. Primary Health Professionals’ Beliefs, Experiences, and Willingness to Treat Minor-Attracted Persons]. Arch Sex Behav 51, 923–943 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-021-02271-7</ref>, occasionally cut off the upper edge of ephebophilia and equate it to attraction to 15-17 year olds. This is done to validate separating age attractions into two monolithic groups, with 18, the age of consent in multiple USA states, as the dividing line.

Exclusive and non-exclusive

2024-04-30T01:17:25Z

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

'''Exclusive''' and '''non-exclusive''' describe whether someone's attraction only includes one particular group of people, or extends further. For example, an exclusive [[Pedophilia|pedophile]] is only attracted to prepubescent children, while a non-excluive pedophile may be attracted to adolescents or adults in addition to that.

== Usage ==

Typically these adjectives are applied to [[minor attraction]]. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders makes a reference to exclusive and non-excluisve types of attraction while describing [[pedophilic disorder]]<ref>[https://www.docdroid.net/1TkXiNH/dsm-5-tr-pdf#page=1485 Pedophilic Disorder], DSM-5-TR.</ref>, but it is unclear whether this terminology originated there. Phrases like "exclusive [[Non-MAP|teleiophile]]" may also be used while talking about normative age preferences. 

On some occasions people that know map terminology poorly mistake "exclusive" for "exclusionist" or "exclus", which denotes a person who believes in excluding someone from activism and support groups because they do not fit the definition of who these groups are intended for accurately enough<ref>[https://mogai.miraheze.org/wiki/Exclusionist Exclusionist], MOGAI Wiki.</ref>. These misunderstandings have led to conflicts.

Fictomap

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

[[File:Fictomap.png|thumb|right|The fictomap flag]]

Fictomap (ficto-map, ficto map) stands for “fictophiliac map”. It is a map attraction towards fictional youth. 

The alternative name for the fictomap identity is kodocon and its subcategories (lolicon, shotacon, chronacon). The kodocon identity gives more spotlight to attraction to youth from anime and manga.

== History ==
This term was coined on Tumblr in 2021 by Soulqueer Schlatt. Schlatt also made the fictomap flag. As it writes in its own wiki, “Most people [that experience attraction to fictional youth] would call themselves a Kodocon, but this term was specifically made to have solidarity with MAPs.”<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220122064159/http://queerpedia.info/index.php?title=Ficto-MAP Ficto-MAP], Queerpedia via Wayback Machine.</ref>

== Controversy ==
The fictomap identity received some backlash from mapmisiac [[Shipping discourse|proshippers]], who saw it as validation of the antiship position (namely, “being attracted to fictional children is pedophilia, therefore it is bad”). It is important to note that this identity is not enforced by maps onto anyone unwilling and its usage in pro map spaces is strictly neutral or positive.

Girllove

2024-04-30T01:15:44Z

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

[[File:GL symbol.svg|thumb|right|The girllove symbol]]

Girllove is a MAP attraction to girls. A person experiencing such an attraction is called a girllover (commonly abbreviated as GL). Another word for this attraction is korephilia, although it is most often applied to girlloving women in particular<ref>[https://amapin.love/2022/04/18/korephilia/ Korephilia], A Map in Love, Katie Cruz.</ref>.

== Definition ==
Girllove is an attraction towards significantly younger children or adolescents who are girls. People who find this attraction personally important to their identity may call themselves girllovers. 

Girllove does not need to be exclusive or preferential, girllovers may also be attracted to boys and non-binary children, as well as women, men, and non-binary adults. Their own gender may also vary. A girllover may have other identities, such as boylover or childlover. Girllovers who are attracted to particularly young girls may call themselves little girl lovers, commonly abbreviated as LGL.

== History and Community ==
The girllove identity emerged much later than boylove. It appears that before late 80s girllovers were mostly referred to as "hets" or "hetpeds" by their BL counterparts (following the common assumption that these people were all men)<ref>[https://heretictoc.com/2022/05/17/maps-are-queer-but-are-we-in-here/ MAPs are queer, but are we in here?] Heretic TOC, a comment by Tom O'Carroll: ">am I right re. the heteroped > "girllover" thing being around the start of the 90s? Depends what you mean by "thing". It looks as though you mean the term itself, in which case I think you are right. I cannot recall us talking about GLs in PIE. To the extent that we had a term, in the 1970s it was "hets", or "hetpeds". One of our magazines, called Magpie, had a section for GLs but the terms "GL", or "girllove" were not used. Instead, it was called "Hets Corner"."</ref>. One of the first written pieces, mentioning girllove, is a third issue of a magazine ''Uncommon Desires'', out in 1989<ref>[https://www.brongersma.info/images/UD_03.pdf Uncommon Desires, 3].</ref>. This text also gives us one of the first definitions of girllove:

<blockquote>By "girl-love," we mean a loving and nurturing erotic/affectional (though not necessarily sexualized) attraction to girls and women under the age of 18, always mindful of the developmental needs and desires of the subjects of our attraction.</blockquote>
- Uncommon Desires

Historically, girllove and [[boylove]] communities were often separate, due to common beliefs about inherent differences between boys and girls. Tom O'Carroll recalls that GLs were even looked down at:

<blockquote>In these circumstances, much to my disgust, GLs were often disparaged by the BLs in PIE. All too often I found it necessary to challenge self-righteous BLs who would claim outrageously, without any evidence, that BLs are the nice guys and that "the real molesters" are the GLs. This allowed them to scapegoat GLs as the cause of society's hatred, just as many gays would point the finger at all CLs. The rationale for this discrimination, insofar as there was any, often invoked the newly fashionable feminist thinking of the time: men were being portrayed as oppressive and exploitative towards the traditionally "weaker sex." BLs perspicaciously noted that boys were not members of the weaker sex. Ergo, men did not oppress or exploit them! Or something like that.</blockquote>

The gap was significantly lessened through creation of inclusive initiatives, such as mental support space Life Line<ref>[https://www.lifeline.chat/ Lifeline].</ref>, and later through appearance of less homogenous, more diverse MAP communities on mainstream social media platforms.

Currently the main places for GLs to socialize together are GirlChat<ref>[https://annabelleigh.net/ GirlChat].</ref> and Visions of Alice<ref>[https://visionsofalice.net/ Visions of Alice].</ref>.

== Symbols ==
The [[girllove logo]] (pictured above) was developed somewhere around 2000. Some of its original designs included presenting the outer heart as blue, assuming the girllover to be a man by default.

== Girlloving Women ==
There isn't much known about women in MAP activism due to decades of erasure, but the bits of information that we do have indicate that many MAP women are GLs.
<blockquote>We're aware of only two books about female childlove. "Op een oude fiets moet je het leren" ("Special Women's Issue" of Paidika) is MOSTLY about female girl-love, "Daar sta je dan... alleen!" is ONLY about female girl-love:

An interesting Dutch book about female childlove is "Op een oude fiets moet je het leren" (1992), written by feminists Marjan Sax and Sjuul Deckwitz (and others). It is about erotic and sexual relationships between women and young girls and boys. It includes interviews and discusses the historic, psychological and sociological aspects of women-child relationships. The ISBN number of the book is 90-6012-885-0. The English version, "Special Women's Issue" of Paidika, includes almost the same articles as this book.

Another good, but also sad, Dutch book about female childlove is "Daar sta je dan... alleen!" (1984), by Danielle Vandenbosch. It is the diary of a sixteen year old girl, describing her discovery of her special feelings for and relations with young girls. The ISBN number of the book is 90-71033-01-5, but the book can only be bought via Stichting Jep, Eindhoven (the Netherlands). Their phonenumber is +31-(0)40-434434.</blockquote>

The Female Childlove site also posted a letter from a female GL Isabella with a following confession: "It wasn't before I was past 30 that I realized I was also pedophile. I always thought of age as being unimportant and of homosexual pedophilia as being part of homosexuality, so I never put any borders between ages or who I fell in love with or felt attracted to."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010215023918/http://www.fpc.net/pages/fcl/isabel.html Female Childlove, Isabel] via Wayback Machine.</ref>

MAP

Pappy: Restored from Wayback Machine.

A '''MAP''' (alternatively, '''map''') is a person who has [[minor attraction]]. "MAP" stands for "Minor-Attracted Person." There are two distinct ways to pronounce the word "MAP." The most common one is constructed as an acronym, the word is pronounced just like "map," the object of cartography. The second one, constructed as an initialism, requires reading it as [em ei pi]. In writing, they are differentiated by the choice of article: "a" or "an." Historically, the second way to read and pronounce came first.

All information about the phenomenon of minor attraction is [[minor attraction | on its proper page]].
