	The predominant theme in social-political ACNOMAP ideology is [[destigmatization]], which is focussed on to the exclusion of other themes embraced by [[pro-c]] MAPs and Allies. You can find examples of a destigmatization information scheme on NewgonWiki - for example, in the [[research]] sections devoted to pedophilia as an orientation, and "NOMAP" tagged [[Memes and Graphics]]. [[AttractedToChildren.org\|ANU]] (the first website to repeatedly refer to [[Minor Attracted People]] and a predecessor to [[Newgon]]) was an early example of a team blog devoted to accuracy and destigmatization. ANU was, albeit, a pre-NOMAP website, and did not exclude [[pro-c]] members.

The medicalism present within anti-contact NOMAP circles has been compared to [[Wikipedia:Transmedicalism\|Transmedicalism]], in that dysphoria/dystonic personality features are sometimes seen as necessary to the identity.
