Memes and graphics allow for visual impact and short-attention span messaging online. You may modify any of the following images with your own provocative messaging. The material reproduced here is experimental, not necessarily endorsed, and not subject to any editorial guidance. Research graphics can be found at this index, or on their respective research pages.
The concept underlying the MAP Flag was seen as early as 2009 and it resurfaced (or was spontaneously recoined) in 2018, gathering widespread social media attention after a campaign by NOMAPs on Tumblr. We have made some minor modifications such as color harmonization, smaller white band and flipping the graphic for a more subliminal, naturalistic appeal. Simply flip the graphic back, and it becomes a NOMAP flag. As can be seen, some of these flags have anti-alias for on-screen aesthetic reasons.
Originals
2021 MAP Flag presented without anti-alias (i.e. for making an actual flag)
2018 post-publicity "MAP Flag" - i.e. original Stenna "NOMAP Flag"
2009 Newgon "Gradient" Flag: First known use of this, or a related concept
MAP Flag key phrase memes, variations and proposals
The MAP Flag has already been used in campaigns that use a defensible message to deliberately troll opponents. Other variations exist, although these are rarely adopted and often the subject of scare stories.

#MAPsAreBased
Faded 2021 MAP Flag
2022 "Yesmap Flag" - exclusive pro-c symbol first published here
Gay MAP Flag (contrary to popular claims, these have barely been adopted by MAPs)
Lesbian MAP Flag (contrary to popular claims, these have barely been adopted by MAPs. Supposedly, Girllove and Boylove versions exist, too)
Pedophile Lives Matter was a highly successful and provocative Twitter campaign intended to inflame the left, as it invoked the Black Lives Matter campaign. #MAPsAreBased (deleted by Twitter as of 2021) was another successful meme, which attempted to enrage conservatives by presenting MAPs as compatible with traditionalism. Its creator made the following statements:
MAPs are obviously based. They support a return to pre-victorian Age of Consent laws, resisting the influence of the British, i.e. MAPs are pro-independence!
MAPs are promoting value-neutral, objectivist terms and just want to be left alone. They don't invent unicorn identities like the LGBT movement!
MAPs also support religious freedom and family privacy. #MAPsAreBased.
Graphics
Traditional graphics convey a short and salient message in a graphic. Research graphics can be found at this index, or on their respective research pages.
Graphics In Relation To Antis
Anti Logic
Graphics that simplify their irrational way of thinking.
Sex Fascists through the ages (hypocrisy, gay, lgbt, history, historical, slut shaming, female, modesty, prudery)
Believe the Children (consent, abuse, trauma, testimony, trust, children, courtroom, legal, doctor, hypocrisy, medicine - alternative inside re. conversion therapy)
Reality vs Media (hypocrisy, teens, minor-adult sex, journalism, distortion, bias, standpoint)
These memes have been produced by antis, however, we believe that they might efficiently spread the discourse via hysteria in a way that frames debate favorably to us. Using this overclaim/black propaganda method may reduce the risk of censorship on some websites.
William A Percy - Consenting Juveniles (14-17 male with multiple males, gay sex, initiated by minor)
Ivo Von Hove - Positive Memories (early teen male with older male, gay sex)
James Dubro - Positive Memories (14 male with 22 male, gay sex) with a long-time pederast who he never knew to act abusively
Kirk Read - Positive Memories (13 male with adult male, gay sex - a relationship that helped him accept himself and convinced him that an age gap does not automatically mean abuse)
Beth Kelly - Positive Memories (8 female with female (great aunt, widowed), lesbian sex, close, long-term relationship)
Kate Winslet - Positive Memories (15 female with 28 male, straight sex)
Clarissa Dickson Wright - Consenting Juveniles (6/7 female with male seaman, straight sex, masturbation, discovery, but absence of secondary harm)
Heather Corinna - Consenting Juveniles (15 female with 25 male, straight sex, suicide caused by secondary harm)
Karin Spaink - Consenting Juveniles (13 female with 21 male, straight sex, minor took initiative)
These are small publications that can be emailed to target groups, such as media organizations, or sent to their social media accounts.

Pamphlets
Our pamphlet, "Minor-Attracted People (MAPs), Just the facts", is intended to look like plain and dowdy propaganda (until you look inside). Previews and PDF available. You may have to experiment with "fitting to page width" or "scaling" to get the folds to go bang down the center, but we have done most of the work for you.
We have a short guide on pamphleting, and some of our older material is still archived there. Hopefully, this will be an inspiration for future efforts, or reworking of old material.
Unused
This is the workspace for new memes and overflow/duplicate concepts. It might contain some usable material and some material that needs to be worked on. As per the main project, none of this material is endorsed, and it is experimental/user-generated with no editorial guidance. Annotations might reflect editorial recommendations, however.
Editors wanting to discuss the development of a particular idea should open up a thread on the Memes and Graphics talkpage (repost the file there too, so we can see it while it is discussed).
Love Quote with adult-teen [unfortunately all these graphics repositories have pics of adults being intimate with kids in what appears to be a parental role. As a result, they focus on a pretty big age gap and kids who look like they barely hit puberty]
This is potentially a good application of the cartoon. But it needs to start from the premise "So who is writing our explainer on the effects of CSA?", then progress through "I studied under David Finkelhor", "5 Years at Mayo Clinic", "My teacher sucked me o..."
Now there is a combined version of these, I removed to save space [consider linking them from the statutory rape combined file, as alternative versions, or even deleting and reuploading as alterversions]
