Notes: It has come to our attention this file is used by another resource (map-wiki.com/index.php/Newgon) to make unsupported claims about our editorial.

First, some background:

This article is largely written by Iris, a seasoned doxxer/harasser who forged said reputation under the name "Chronic". Iris is a self-describing biastophile (rape fetishist), and sadist - including in relation to animals, (chronic-ally.dreamwidth.org/671.html WA). Iris describes themselves as mentally ill, and after having harassed a number of MAPs in their past, they also detail their support for vigilantism (chronic-ally.dreamwidth.org/4035.html WA). Further information regarding Iris and Lecter's history of doxxing has come to light since we published this rebuttal, and will eventually be documented in one master-post.

In a series of bizarre and unhinged edits written since this rebuttal was published, Iris has rushed to accuse Newgon.net of misgendering an influencer, only to find out that they have since changed pronouns. <--bookmark-->They further attempted to scold as bigotry, attempts to question the usefulness of a newly-coined paraphilia based on the idea that "it's hot to groom kids".

MAP Wiki and its funding entity (pedofur) are connected to members of the NNIA paraphile Fediverse instance - a social community of MAPs and others who were banned from the Tumblr networking site in the late 10s. Staff at NNIA follow strongly anti-contact norms, and are just like our members, not representative of the MAP community as a whole. NNIA and MAP Wiki staff have been connected with a number of questionable actions and statements regarding MAP History and Organizations:

• Toleration of hostile anti-MAPs, doxxers and harassers on NNIA as per above, is a common occurrence, often marked by favoritism (another famous example being LoganTheACNOMAP). Individuals leaving the NNIA instance for alternatives such as Freak University have often provided testimony that appears to describe the functioning of a cult, or cult-like environment.
• Stating that prior to the modern MAP Movement, spaces were "mostly hebe and ephebo oriented [...] and we don't need it back".
• Defederation (selective censorship) of politically inconvenient opponents using the rationale of anti-harassment, while harassment of MAPs is tolerated from actual antis.
• Scolding other MAPs for critiquing/meming antis, reinterpreting this as undue criticism of so-called "anti-contact people", even in cases where the commentary so critiqued is blatantly pedophobic, even homophobic.
• Posting fake comments in an attempt to discredit their opponents - for example, using another MAP's Fediverse server, maliciously claiming to be an "anonymous" ex-member of Yesmap who has been party to glorification of sex with infants (something that basic, public-level searches of the server completely disprove).

The article itself fabricates false claims:

A false claim or imputation inherent to the MAP-Wiki article as a whole, is that reproducing memes (among multiple other Memes and Graphics observed in online spaces) equates to the production or endorsement of material - confusing it with our editorial. In some instances, graphics have been created by members of a chatserver (Yesmap) part-financed by Newgon - but this only applies in a handful of cases.

• Falsely stating that Newgon had no online presence in the years 2014-21 - supposedly in order to claim ignorance towards historical manifestations of MAP Flag development they find inconvenient within their own limited historical narrative. Historical archives exist.
• Falsely stating that information resources at Newgon argued for re-integration into the LGBT community (now erased).
• Failing to include crucial information concerning the 2009 gradient-flag rationale (map-wiki.com/index.php/MAP_flag) to minimize the possibility of it being related to the later design. Making a further false claim that our treatment "[admitted] independent origins of the [2018] map flag" following their supposed corrections. We simply removed the assertion that the graphics were likely related from the article's editorial voice and continued to acknowledge the varying designs proportionately.
• Uncredited use of our own research on MAP language development, yet complete ignorance of the ANU Blog's role in their own article (map-wiki.com/index.php/Minor_attraction) despite their having been informed about it. The presence of secondary archives is apparently not good enough here, anything related to Newgon must be hushed-up to "own the pro-c's".

• Calamitously doctoring a completely accurate statement made by us on a Twitter bio (that we were in a way the initiators of the MAP paradigm), only to accidentally source it with a screencap proving they doctored it in their article.

• Stating on MAP Wiki that Newgon also claimed to be "anti-offending", which possibly means anti-forceful contact, however, "anti-offending" is typically used in contact discourse synonymously with "anti contact", thus betraying a general inability to distinguish anti-offending from anti-contact. This is unusual, as other parts of MAP Wiki acknowledge that distinction, but it apparently can not be entertained with respect to Newgon.
• A series of bizarre false claims about philosophies underpinning Newgon as a project. These tend to show a general ignorance towards the purpose, scope and editorial voice of encyclopedic resources, and confuse perspectives gleaned from projects we fund with official or predominant positions. Tolerance of intellectual diversity is thus misrepresented, as the NNIA server famously does not even permit debate over the merits of pro-c.
• Questioning (via Pediverse) Newgon's on-wiki criticism of serial, commercially opportunistic anti-MAP homophobe Moira Greyland, by incorrectly stating that no evidence of her homophobia exists, and then defending her as a "rape victim", despite the accused being dead and no evidence existing.
• Questioning (via their MAP-Wiki article on Newgon) Newgon's on-wiki criticism of The Leadership Council's discredited expert witness Joyanna Silberg, ([1][2]) whose organization collaborated with notorious neoreactionaries such as Laura Schlessinger. Silberg is a pedophobe ([3]) who co-authored a paper that misrepresented Rind et al and recycled lazy tropes and accusations about pedophile authorship in the sciences. MAP-Wiki's criticism is tellingly based upon Newgon.net's skeptical treatment of DID, a highly controversial and lucrative diagnosis whose purported existence is likely a function of personality types and sociogenic factors, rather than the traumas said to underpin it. The pedophobia associated with the said organization has since been acknowledged.
• Finally, the insane nit-picking over the term "pro-choice", whose use the anti-c NNIA site manager finds offensive due to its broader political significance. This started with the historically illiterate claim (on the MAP Wiki article on Newgon) that a page we created included a novel attempt to use the language "pro-choice" in place of "pro-contact". This is easily revealed as untrue. A highly-circulated 2021 book published by Allyn Walker (prior to the de-archiving of our site) mentioned "pro-choice" as a theoretical construct at the very least.

This claim has now been erased and corrected, but the article reorients its accusatory tone. At the time of writing, the article now implies that after having pointed to the use of "pro choice" in the aforementioned book, we minimize its use by those community members MAP Wiki previously believed were uninvolved with the initiative. Language development is a nuanced process in any event. If MAP Wiki's energies were redeployed toward historical research as opposed to attempts to smear opponents, they would have seen that "pro choice" was used by one person (at the time unaffiliated with Newgon) in essays over a decade prior. While this individual also used it on forums, its use was not widespread at the time. Language development is a complex process, and can rarely be reduced to the inanity of single novel coinages - something NNIA users obsess over daily as if it were a life-and-death matter.
