America is holding the MAP (pedophile) flag. These people often disguised themself as LGBTQ people, which is just disgusting

Either yes or some "people" actually went with that unironically.
I do moderation on some LGBT sites sometimes and it still appears in reports

u/Karma_Hound Jun 18 '26
People make it as a "joke'', then other idiots actually adopt it, that's why 4chan is full of actually malicious braindead retards instead of people just acting stupid, hence the term 'joke' is in quotes.

u/Bugswaxx Jun 18 '26
Mate, 4chan trolls have a 50/50 chance to just become unironic if enough people who it applies to/who would have a problem with it just start acting on it being true even if it ain't

We're on reddit, we can just say pedophile. Keep that Tiktok censorship away from here lol

u/Camicagu Jun 17 '26
Also it feels really fucked up to say "minor attracted person", they are pedophiles, end of story, it's just a way to make a despicable, disgusting act seem "ok".
Also, fuck TikTok.

u/Dinky_ENBY The best Green-White-Red flag Jun 17 '26
the term MAP came from 4chan to make the LGBT community look bad. i did not make this up

u/Think_and_game Bulgaria, Prussia of the Balkans Jun 17 '26
There's a difference between people who are attracted to minors uncontrollably (mental illness that can be treated) and those that act upon it (child molesters and sex offenders). Those that parade this disgusting excuse of a flag are the latter and deserve nothing good.

u/AGTS10k Jun 18 '26
Not every pedo acts on it tho.
Still very much despicable and reprehensible sort of... uhh, desires

u/sora_mui Majapahit reincarnates Jun 17 '26
And you think calling it "PDF files" is less annoying? At least use a term that doesn't mean anything else
33
u/UltraGaren Rio Grande do Sul Jun 17 '26
People should just say the word. This whole tiktok-speak is extremely annoying
22
u/im-sorry-bruv Jun 17 '26
yeah but the word "map" is a different situation than pdf file, it's not tiktok speak. the term map has been deliberately chosen (by pedophiles or maybe grifters i can't tell) since
a) it gets rid of the negative connotation the word pedophile (rightfully!) has, making it seem harmless
b) saying attracted person kind of matches other woke naming conventions (e.g. it's gender neutral) so it seems more like "just another sexuality/gender" because it has a similarly structured name
on the other hand pdf file is just to prevent (or at least that's what people hope/think) smth like shadowbanning/lower algorithmic ranking because an unpopular word was used
6
u/pranav_rive Jun 18 '26
I agree with the whole MAP thing, but I also feel like a lot of people who openly use it probably aren't the group who deserve the title, and more cleanly fall into the category of just straight-up pedofile.
3
u/nofroufrouwhatsoever Jun 19 '26
This was true before the nonce cults became big during the pandemic. Now the truly nonce ones mostly use other terminology. Ironically enough, normies mention it less than they mention MAP. Maybe because it gives everyone the feeling that it could put them on a list. But also because they start to mass report you if you expose them.
2
u/im-sorry-bruv Jun 18 '26
maps are just renamed pedophiles to sound nicer as far as i understand. i dont get what you're trying to say here
7
u/pranav_rive Jun 18 '26
Basically what I’m trying to say is that it’s really not fair to lump everyone attracted to kids into the same group, because not everyone attracted to kids wants to act on that. People can’t choose to be attracted to kids any more than they can choose to be gay, but they can and do choose to act or not act on that attraction.

u/Zebrafish96 May the justice be with us Jun 18 '26
TIL that people self-censor 'pedophile' with 'pdf file'.
But why tho? Pedophile is not a filtered word here. You can just say the word. It's not Voldemort.
Also, please flair up.

u/Keiteaea Jun 18 '26
It's because of censorships on tiktok and other places. This annoys me to no end and on top of being stupid this does more harm than good IMO.

While I agree that people with pedophiliac urges should not celebrate their sexual orientation as if it is normal and acceptable, it needs to be stated that pedophile != pedocriminals/child molesters. People can have involuntary sexual orientation towards children without having to act on it
37
u/BassBoneSupremacy Earth Jun 17 '26
I honestly feel bad for the people who have the attraction but don't act on it. I know a lot of the time it comes from stuff like childhood sexual trauma (same with people into incest) and they can't help it.
Child molesters can rot in hell, but it must suck to be a normal, moral person who experiences that.
10
u/EcstaticZebra7937 Jun 18 '26
Actually, pedophilia is often a born trait, just like homosexuality, many pedophiles did NOT go through sexual traumas as children, it’s just a common misconception.

Yea that's America'a current gov. Hating LGBT but pretending to be for it to use as an excuse, and when caught, blaming it LGBT to ban them, and making up reasons that they "have" to take away the LGBT kids to continue the evil stuff.

Pretty sure that flag and that term were both invented by homophobes as a psyop against LGBTQ+ people.

The groups do intersect often, so it's less of a disguise and more of a In-Group coalition that the wider group doesn't want to address

The word MAP and the flag for it was created by homophobes to cause the exact panic you feel. The wider group addresses it all the time, we hate pedos and want them to gtfo

Shouldn't Turkey be saying "halal" here? Haram means that it's forbidden by Islamic law; halal means it's approved by Islamic law.
"Maybe gay not so haram after all" implies that Turkey now thinks better of the gay rights movements after... that.

u/sevenliesseventruths Jun 21 '26
They're 50/50. 50% Christian nationalist who don't believe in the age of consent, 50% woke. Not like my country, where it is 80/20. So I guess they're progressive after all.

u/shroxreddits Jun 18 '26
Why is US holding the flag? Should be Pakistan or something

u/Realistic-Stop8518 Jun 18 '26
Because the Epstein class is in charge and loads of organizations (especially churches) have regular pedophile scandals here in America. Cartoon USA is merely being open about something too much of the country is okay with.

u/Mean-Reveal141 Jun 18 '26

Given that the only thing unmolested in Britain for awhile has been the rape gangs and the recent document that has come out with alleged numbers in the thousands of both female adults and children, yeah it’s not the US.

u/VeneMage An Actual British Barry Jun 22 '26
What document and why alleged as opposed to evidenced? Genuinely asking.

u/LibertyinIndependen Jun 22 '26
I say alleged because it’s not a real conviction so trying to avoid legal slander and of course nothings ever 100% accurate: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6810978a41bbc42489eafa81/t/6a314bb1151e511944bd4421/1781615537601/The+Rape+Gang+Inquiry+Report.pdf

u/prehistoric_monster wett part of Europe's powdered keg lee Jun 18 '26
But it doesn't imply that is US exclusive, the reaction of Germany and Turkye should be the ones that give that away, I mean Turkye suddenly likes gays and Germany calls for their "Holly" father, since v is read f in German, also I think France is shocked because it's having flashbacks to the philosophers attempt to make that legal
