Validity Policing

Social Media LGBT Validity Policing is a trend of conspicuous and dedicated, single issue advocacy and "calling out campaigns" initiated by sexual minorities who are attempting to reinforce their position within the modern LGBTQ+ movement and express their disapproval towards supposed attempts by others to join.

Sometimes referred to as "validity sadists", these individuals typically set up alt-accounts to attack MAPs, Zoophiles and sometimes Lolicons. Validity policing uses the highly questionable "identity validity" hypothesis to exclude selected sexual minorities to the benefit of others, while maintaining pretenses of social justice. This self-appointed policing has been particularly visible on Twitter.com, where there are highly ambiguous rules against MAP Advocacy, resulting in wild-west mass-reporting campaigns.

Individual motivations

It can be assumed that much of the activity classified as validity policing is the result of projection and reaction-formation, as well as personal insecurity among minorities who may feel they are at risk of ostracism. Many such actors are in their teens and early 20s, and have been pursued by antis of various sorts who attack their own communities. They are typically of middle-intelligence (thus not seeing the hypocrisy of becoming an anti), and are in the process of forming their own social identities. Validity sadists are typically overinvested in social media and the unhealthy values of externally-derived self-worth it promotes. They may include:

• The Anime and Lolisho community - see Lolicon-MAP Equivalence Debate. So-called "pro-fiction" or "proshippers".
• Furries, attempting to distance Zoophiles. This is a common Zoo-analogy for the above Lolicon-MAP trend.
• Trans and nonbinary (NB) people. Fear of ostracism, and fear caused by adjacency of trans and nonbinary MAPs are pertinent themes here.
• "Reformed" anti-contact MAPs and Zoophiles. Insecurity/projection is highly indicated in these instances.
• Roleplayers of various sorts, including age-regressors (agere).
• People within eating-disorder (ED) circles.
• Suspect attempts by antis to present a "safe space" for those who intend to treat their pedophilia or zoophilia as a mental illness.

Examples

There are many examples of LGBT validity-policing campaigns against MAPs, going right back to NOMAPs such as Enderphile. Examples from late 2021 include Sappho (a Zoophile with minor followers who came out as an MAP, and then supposedly entered a psych-ward after being attacked online), Lecter (a well-known anti-contact MAP personality), and the example of a seemingly anti-contact, out trans MAP who posted openly for some time, and was then "ratioed" by members of her own community.

There have also been unsubstantiated claims that a 14-year old female Zoophile has taken her own life after a campaign of harassment. The anti-Zoophile accounts who had hounded her were quick to blame the older Zoophiles for seducing her.

Questioning the identity validity hypothesis

This system of thought is easily deconstructed as an SJW re-hash of the 1980s respectability politics and shaming/boycotting campaigns embraced by the religious-right moral majority. Similar startegies were also used by the Nazis against gays and Jews. The aim of the identity validity hypothesis is to provide a framework for the erasure of other minorities by more powerful or state/corporate-allied minorities.

The philosophy is however, hard to engage with because people treat it like a religion. However, it is hypocritical on a number of grounds to claim that chronophilias are invalid sexualities, on the basis of "age not being a gender":

• What makes gender preference a valid determinant of sexuality? Identitarian validity sadists whould be pressed for an answer that is not normative. They must be ased if they believe that gender is socially constructed and what this spells for the validity of sexualities based solely around gender. If they claim that pedophilia is a mental illness and therefore invalid, they should be congratulated on confirming that pedophiles are entitled to care, respect, protection, social interaction and safe spaces. An LGBT person must surely not be an ableist.
• Homosexuality has been age structured throughout history. Normative, modern-day teleio-homosexuals would be invalid by most classical standards, as they date exclusively within their own adult age group. However, in reality, modern homosexuals take differing roles indicative of classical pederasty, attempting to power structure their sexual interactions. This rather desperate role-play, trying to claw back something quite fundamental to gay history. For more examples of hypocrisy, see historical examples of LGBT-MAP unity.
• Usually, people who make the invalidity argument also believe in corresponding age attraction among children/youth. They will assume this flawed hypothesis when trying to defend youth on youth sexual activity or attractions as "normative". So, if by their own admission, normative chronophilias exist, non-normative/stunted chronophilias must also exist, just as homosexuality does.
• It has also been normal to refer to gerontophiles or men who chase cougars and milfs for many years, so why this sudden panic over classification of MAPs as a sexual minority? It is clearly for political reasons.

Telling examples

Validity-policing members of the LGBT community neglect to address the fact that it is often easier to run a social media account as a Zoophile than as a Hebephile, despite the prevalence and historical normativity of the latter. This can be raised as a telling example of how the identity validity scheme of reasoning is based upon envy and political expediency as opposed to a properly developed model of social justice.

Methods used

• Calling-out of MAP and Zoophile e-celebs (300-1000+ followers) - usually focusing on their interactions with minors or other "invalidated" groups. "Inappropriate" behaviors are identified, although there is no clear, identifiable trend as to what is considered inappropriate.
• Mass-reporting campaigns and mass-unfollow campaigns are used as a form of psychological warfare (eroding a personality's influence and connections).
• Violent and threatening rhetoric. Even among supposedly social-justice aware members of the LGBT community, it is not unusual to see promotion of/calls to violence, or violent fantasies. It has to be mentioned that many of these individuals are seething with their own insecurity.

"Queer" policing

Some activity has taken place around policing of the term "queer", within the full LGBTQIA+ (etc) alphabet. While social media MAPs are generally unwilling to agitate for inclusion within the LGBT movement, they often question the "queer" category by suggesting that it must, by virtue of its history include MAPs. Queer Theory is also suggested by MAPs and mainstream Conservatives alike as the foundation for a re-appraisal of the 1990s rejection of MAPs from the LGBT movement. Indeed, many of the principal figures of Queer Theory have already made arguments concerning MAPs, or as in the case of Michel Foucault are often said to have practised intergenerational relations themselves.

Jargon

• DNI (do not interact) - as in "MAPs" or "Minors DNI" - the standard tag used to distance other minorities deemed to be "invalid" or a legal risk. Anarchists and other supposed freedom-fighters are often ridiculed for using these tags in their bios - since they appear give assent to state/corporate classism by distancing subjugated groups.
• "Child/age is not a gender".
