I still can't believe Baraag froze me for ONLY SAYING I'm a MAP. NEWS FLASH! IF YOU LIKE LOLI/SHOTA, YOU ARE A MAP! It's insane to pretend otherwise. It's like if someone spends all day drawing and fantasizing about food and then says they're not a foodie and have no interest in food irl and that they only fantasize about food "as a fictional concept".
We as a society need to remove the sigma surrounding being a MAP. So that people aren't afraid to admit to being one. People must, absolutely come to understand that Attraction does not equal Action, and that fantasy is not the same as reality. Wanting to do something, and actually doing that thing, are two very different things. Reading an erotic story, and indulging in a fantasy in your head, or on paper, alone, or with consenting observing adults, must be allowed to occur, must be allowed to be talked about with consenting adults, for a functioning healthy society to exist in which individuals respect each other and feel safe and secure amongst their fellows.
*stigma not sigma obviously but lmao at that typo
And this same logic applies to all subjects and topics. We must be free to think, and free to discuss those thoughts with our fellows, if we are to exist as a society. Punishing people for thoughts (not actions, but thoughts alone) socially or legally is horrific, and a society can not function this way for very long without metastasizing and inhibiting its own function. In the worse case scenario this results in complete dissolution of the "society" (defined here as a collective of individuals with a shared language and value system who interact in functional symbiosis) in question, either because all the individuals in it have died off or were absorbed by other societies.
