Regarding:

  • Consequentialist anti-c (c-anti-c). In this instance, celibacy is called for in the present climate. Further, such an individual might maintain that:
    • They are not presently interested in age of consent reform. Supporters of very limited reforms sometimes also self-describe as anti-contact.
    • They oppose age of consent reform."

Would consequentialist anti-contact MAPs really argue the latter two positions? If the argument is that adult-child sexual activity is harmful due to society's reactions to it, surely reforming age of consent laws and battling the stigma would be a positive? --Time Has Passed (talk) 03:29, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

I presonally prefer anti reform vs pro choice/pro reform, but I think we have to reflect and develop on the present terminology. "Pro-contact" seems to have evolved into a way for NOMAPs to take out a loan on the public image of other MAPs. I know 15 years ago, it was used in a naive way, but that seems to have been weaponized.
I will modify it slightly, see if it works. --The Admins (talk) 19:12, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
I also like the 'pro-reform' term, but I'm not sure about 'anti-reform'. We need something that emphasises the point that these people are not engaging in sexual activity with children. I also doubt that the NOMAP people would accept 'anti-reform', for this very reason. Time Has Passed (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
