	There is no group in the western world more brutally and blatantly oppressed than [~~MAPs~~ https://www.map-union.org/encyclopedia/glossary]. The problem is now so extreme that, shockingly, we see members of our community internalizing the most absurd of aspersions cast against us. Here you will find an unwaveringly proud and unapologetic manifesto intended as a reference point for aggressive pro-MAP activists.

	There are no concessions made here. I don't believe that any consensual expression of sexuality is ''necessarily'' harmful, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. However, for advocacy purposes, I continue to recommend the [[Essay:Pro-Reform:_The_Rational_Middle_Ground\|Pro-Reform Framework]] I introduced last year, alongside the other proposals at the bottom of the manifesto.

	It is quite horrific that so many MAPs arrive at message boards like MAP Forum, or regrettably at VirPed, hating themselves for their feelings of love and desire toward young people. There is no explanation for this other than the internalization of society's brutally oppressive discourse and treatment with regard to MAPs. What MAPs truly desire is the ability to fully express their love, not to inflict harm. Instead of feeling bad about supposedly 'wanting to hurt children', MAPs should be ''raging'' against society's horrific mischaracterization and criminalization of their beautiful sexual orientation.

	What do 'charities' like the [[Internet Watch Foundation]], law enforcement organizations such as Europol, and governments seeking to push through new laws have in common? They all insist that criminalized depictions of minors must be labeled 'CSAM'. They claim they are fighting the production and trade of horrific images of videos of young children being violently assaulted. The reality? Evidence indicates that most criminalized depictions of minors are of teenagers messing around on camera, or of nudes not that dissimilar to what may be found in grandma's photo album. Contacts familiar with the 'scene' confirm that images and videos of adults having sex with children do exist, but even these are typically not violent or aggressive, and most sites in fact prohibit anything extreme. Of course, the public cannot legally verify the claims made about 'CSAM', so entities who want to make up stories may do so with impunity. Let's call these entities what they are: '''manipulative, profiteering scum'''. Never use the grossly inaccurate term 'CSAM' to apply to criminalized depictions of minors. And when the topic arises, be sure to let acquaintances know that a lot of criminalized material is actually self-produced.

	When 'concerns' about 'abuse' are published in the media, they are often packaged with quotes from charities whose goal is supposedly to prevent abuse. One such charity is the aforementioned Internet Watch Foundation, who have been extremely active in inducing hysteria over AI and 'grooming'. They do this not to protect children, but to ensure their own survival. The IWF, notably, is meaningless in an age of 'CSAM' being mostly AI and kids messing around on camera. Governments are all too happy to work with such organizations to push a hysterical narrative, allowing them to enact extreme draconian laws that give the state sweeping new powers to control citizens. Meanwhile, the psychology industry earns huge sums of money treating 'CSA victims', thus even young people who are not victims must be led to believe they are so at the expense of their well-being.

	Historically, the age of consent around the world varied from 7 to 12 years old. In the late 19th century, social reformists in the UK and US lobbied relentlessly to raise the age of consent to 16 or 18, as part of a broader range of 'reforms' intended to foist puritanical attitudes upon the public and shore up political support for their various other campaigns and ventures. Later, the burgeoning modern psychiatric industry twisted the reformists' puritanical scorn into a pseudoscience, creating an entirely new 'child sexual abuse' industry. The quality of research was poor; it suffered from extreme sample bias, and it failed to distinguish between real and secondary harm. The notion of harm inherent in ''consensual'' sexual activity between adults and minors is almost entirely socially constructed; a result of religious, political and financial profiteering.

	What do 'charities' like the [[Internet Watch Foundation]], law enforcement organizations such as Europol, and governments seeking to push through new laws have in common? They all insist that criminalized depictions of minors must be labeled 'CSAM'. They claim they are fighting the production and trade of horrific images of videos of young children being violently assaulted. The reality? Evidence indicates that most criminalized depictions of minors are of teenagers messing around on camera, or of nudes not that dissimilar to what may be found in grandma's photo album. Contacts familiar with the 'scene' confirm that images and videos of adults having sex with children do exist, but even these are typically not violent or aggressive, and most sites in fact prohibit anything extreme. Of course, the public cannot legally verify the claims made about 'CSAM', so entities who want to make up stories may do so with impunity. Let's call these entities what they are: '''manipulative, profiteering scum'''. Never use the grossly inaccurate term 'CSAM' to apply to criminalized depictions of minors. And when the topic arises, be sure to let acquaintances know that a lot of criminalized material is actually self-produced.
