23 Sep, 2024: Our collection of material documenting harassment, doxing and allegations of illegal behavior against MAPs, on the part of a purportedly "MAP" group, is now complete. A second article documenting a campaign of disinformation by said group is nearing completion, and will be shared here.
NNIA
NNIA (nnia.space, f. May 2020, and associated properties) is a fediverse instance and social network for paraphiles that has attempted to assimilate anti-contact parts of the minor attracted community into paraphilia activism since its launch. NNIA stands for "Non-Normative Identities Alliance".
NNIA as a website, is associated with a group of online systems, individuals with multiple identities who feel this is an intrinsic aspect of their personality, or a medical condition. NNIA is sometimes referred to as "MAP Tumblr", owing to its origins on the platform in the mid-10s, and eventual banning from it. When hostile parties and MAPs attempt to describe other groups of MAPs and Paraphiles heavily engaged with political organizing around identity discourse and plurality, they often use "NNIA" as shorthand, referring to said group of online personages.
Fediverse instance and associated properties
NNIA's Mastodon fediverse community has remained on-line in the face of various attacks, and has slowly grown to over 300 "active" users at the time of writing. Self-censorship is one possible reason why it has stayed online, while others have been taken down by way of domain suspension. Other sites run by or predominantly used by the NNIA group are:
- MAP Wiki - Started as a competitor to wiki.yesmap.net, its largest articles now document their campaigns against it.[1]
- paraflags-wiki.org - a repository documenting thousands of identities and flags, including most notably, Nazi, Child/Infant rape, Grooming, Pedosadism and Zoosadism fetishes.
- NNIA.cc (backup instance to nnia.space)
- wierstamann.net (Administrator's personal blog)
- pedohelp.info (one sysadmin's personal site)
- chronic-ally.dreamwidth.org (Iris's personal blog)
- mapresources.info (google-based MAP information site run by a mod)
- any number of carrd.co minisites, e.g. radeviance.carrd.co
- Historical social networks the group most often used: Tumblr, DeviantArt, CuriousCat and X/Twitter.
Doxing, malicious and illegal behavior against MAPs
The NNIA instance manager, Lecter, is known to dox (share private information about) and permit the doxing of MAPs. He was de-federated from freak.university and numerous other instances prior to the demise of said instance. A mentally ill teenager (Iris) who had risen to a high-ranking position with his encouragement, was also de-federated from the influential instance, after having co-operated with Lecter on obtaining private information on MAPs.
Only two years previously, had Iris claimed Lecter was a born-male American conservative, who sexually predates on "children", and threatened to publish their own nude images (these would be Child Pornography in most jurisdictions). While there is nothing to corroborate these claims, they have never been redacted or contested, and Iris remains active on NNIA.
Lecter, nominally at least an anti-contact, admits freely to sharing pornography with minors.
Disinformation campaigns and false claims against MAPs
NNIA has pursued a strategy of attacking various MAP Fediverse (pediverse) instances as tolerating "abuse" and "CSAM", as its own relative influence has began to wane due to high levels of self-censorship. This invariably happens when federated MAP websites are most under-threat from external censorship and shaming campaigns by antis on Twitter and YouTube.
Political campaigns are also a feature of NNIA. In the case of Newgon various false claims, including contradictory claims were made over a prolonged period from 2021. While these are too numerous to list in their entirety, some of the most absurd follow:
- The administrator of Newgon sent a harassing post-card hard copy to a MAP influencer, but at the same time did not know them well enough to assume their pronouns.
- The administrator of Newgon is likely responsible for the domain suspension of the influential fediverse instances Youjo.love (where he ran an account), Lolison and also Ghetti.monster. The closure of freak.university due to a technical flaw, is also related to Newgon.
- The administrator of Newgon is racist and transphobic, and the website promotes those ideologies.
- Newgon explicitly supports child marriage, rape ideology, antifeminism and the incel movement. Sex with babies is deemed natural, while nepiophilia is not tolerated.
- Newgon is anti-LGBT, but in favor of merging the MAP Movement with the LGBT movement.
- Newgon claimed antis want boylovers to "survive and prosper".
- Newgon was offline at various times convenient to NNIA's narrative of MAP Flag development.
- AttractedToChildren.org is irrelevant to MAP discourse development, as not to be mentioned with other historical research.
In addition to paranoid and conspiratorial theories centering on Jim Burton and unrelated campaigns against individuals such as Lilitha and Kay Faraday,[2] NNIA have also circulated conspiratorial claims about Newgon and other MAP organizations. In the case of Mu, for example, said organization was described as a Newgon project after it was founded with the assistance of Jim Burton and three non-Newgon members, including the founder of AttractedToChildren.org. A technician involved with the Mu website was also involved with the Newgon website, and vast swathes of the MAP community. If such criteria are deemed sufficient to class projects as part of "Newgon", large portions of the community could indeed be included under this banner.
Language-control and separatist provocations against MAPs
As mentioned above, NNIA's power and share of the community has slowly waned. One answer to this has been to double down on a separatist ideology that seeks to emphasize deviance from the norm and incompatibility, rather than merely accepting difference. To protect their community and sense of moral virtue, admins have created a private instance (NNIA.cc) invisible to all other instances, and taken to lashing out at others, accusing them of tolerating "abuse" and "CSAM".
NNIA has also been implicated in the creation of false identities to slander other servers, with one such identity appearing on the freak.university server to accuse pro-c's in PCMA of supporting "sex with babies". These claims were immediately disproven when the PCMA admin conducted a 5-minute search of his server.
Another point of concern for community cohesion, is that NNIA's administrator, Lecter, once stated that older MAP communities were "mostly hebe and ephebo oriented [...] and we don't need it back".
Use of language
Language is tightly policed on NNIA, with certain terminology deemed off-limits for simply having been used in "problematic" venues such as imageboards and chansites. Neologistic language has been employed to describe antis as "anti-contact people", even in cases where homophobia and other forms of violent prejudice are indicated. A term "violent attractions" appeared in 2024, to describe sexual arousal in response to the rape of children, deliberately conflating it with physical attraction to the child themselves. Various pride flags and coinages have appeared in order to conflate attraction to minors with violent impulses, attracting next to no apparent interest from MAP onlookers.
Pro-c conspiracy theories about NNIA
The bizarre nature of NNIA's posturing and provocations have led to conspiracy theories among radical pro-c's, some of which are barely supported and likely unwarranted. A median view in the pro-c MAP community is that the administrators of NNIA and content creators of MAP Wiki are antis who happen to be self-confessed MAPs for whatever reason.
More extreme views have been aired by radicals, suggesting NNIA is run by federal agents and/or consciously "self-loathing" MAPs, although these would seem unlikely given NNIA's low profile, and lack of online marketing and presentational skills.
One argument supporting NNIA conspiracy theories is the deliberately provocative actions of its userbase towards selected targets, in that it might be said to represent an attempt to distract and divide.
In 2024, Newgon found no evidence for these conspiracy theories, and some to the contrary.
2024 Newgon investigations
Following the non-consensual publication (by NNIA) of sensitive information about three MAPs[3] on the MAP Wiki platform, Newgon undertook an investigation into NNIA's activities and rogue administrators in the wider pediverse. While illegal and malicious behavior was indicated (and in some cases confirmed), some claims of pro-c's were found to be unsupported:
- Special Article: Anti-c MAP Tumblr, Twitter and Fediverse - Material for Character Analysis (supporting evidence)
- Essay:"Newgon Man Bad", and the "Lecter Cult": Two permanently online myths reviewed (investigation/breakdown of claims by Jim Burton)
Notes
- ↑ Longest pages on MAP Wiki
- ↑ The former assumed to be the work of Iris, who made the claim a whole year later, as documented in the investigation.
- ↑ Iris provided misleading information to obtain membership in PCMA and collect the information. One individual was a user of the B4U-ACT forum facing legal difficulties, another a suicidal former PCMA interface admin, and the third, a transgender woman who posted angrily after being provoked on PCMA. NNIA were requested to remove the information, but refused.
