2 I assume your evidence that they don’t work is “trust me bro” So im gonna have to call that question begging.
3 We want to protect by children by convincing pedophiles to be non offending instead of offending and we do this by building a community. So pedophile communities and only allocated to pro abuse forums that convince pedophiles to perform sexual abuse.
4 I don’t even know what a slur against pedophiles is, so probably not, seems like you need to be more skeptical.
5 That’s not a question, and your assertion is factually inaccurate.
Our side of the story… our side of what story exactly?
And how do you exactly do you aim to find our side of the “story with this hodgepodge of malformed questioning and bald assertions?
It’s pretty clear you came here with asinine weak sauce expecting to score an easy layup. @Freyr addresses what you had to say quite well, but if there’s anything else that you would like to add which mind you I sincerely doubt, we would be more than happy to address those too.
There are many reasons why MAP is a much better term to use than pedophile in almost all cases. The most important one in my opinion, recently restated by Elizabeth Letourneau of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, is that most people falsely assume that a pedophile is a child sex offender, and use the terms synonymously. Even while some will grudgingly admit that a pedophile may not have offended “yet”, they tend to downplay the distinction between those who have and those who haven’t, treating them as equally bad, and they falsely assume that there is no way to prevent one from becoming the other.
This is an abhorrent view that treats sexuality rather than the act of abuse as the key problem… and it is deeply embedded into the language that we use. As such, it creates a misallocation of resources towards manifestations of the sexuality of pedophilia (such as ownership of sex dolls), and away from the prevention of child sexual abuse by those who don’t identify or present as sexually non-normative (such as the epidemic of abuse within the foster care system, churches, and child marriage).
The conflation of “deviant sexuality” with abuse is also the root source of the current wave of hate being experienced by LGBTQ+ people. Since they too are deemed by the mainstream as being sexually deviant or “degenerate” (the term that fascists prefer), and since actually abusing a child isn’t a prerequisite to being called a pedophile (this much is true), they too are being targeted with this slur.
The term MAP avoids all of these problems: it refers to all those who identify as being preferentially attracted towards minors (not only those with attractions towards prepubescent children), it doesn’t imply that they have committed or will commit any act of abuse, and it’s definition isn’t so elastic that it expands to include LGBTQ+ people.
That a thing doesn’t fix things doesn’t justify punishing.
It’s not an evil fantasy to think that what someone does to any lifeless object in private cannot harm anyone and that what one does in private with the same object one could otherwise hand to a dog as a chew toy or use as a door stop is no one’s concern.
Claiming that doll use somehow objectifies the precious makes no more sense than calling a pumpkin shaped toaster a fruit. That assertion is invalid.
