I decided to make a main page-type post for myself with relevant information. I am Lecter, a map activist with multiple paraphilias and other stigmatized identities. This is my main post with misconceptions about minor attraction, debunked through scientific means - Common Misconceptions About Maps. This is an Archive.org copy of the Carrd I made with … Continue reading Main page
A more nuanced approach to sexuality
A few years ago I made this infographic, trying to explain to myself and to other people how attractions work and can be classified. Soon after publishing it, I started noticing random flaws and omissions, for example, it doesn't reflect a wider spectrum of criteria in the “beings” category, because, surely, you can single out … Continue reading A more nuanced approach to sexuality
Common Misconceptions About Maps
These are the misconceptions: Pedophilia is an "abuse fetish"/a treatable mental illness.“MAP” is a politically correct term made up to normalize pedophilia.DSM listed pedophilia as a sexuality by mistake.Pedophilia is illegal.All child molesters are pedophiles.All pedophiles offend.Therapy for MAPs involves building disgust towards the attraction.Communication with children increases risk of offense.Minors can’t be pedophiles.Pedophilia = … Continue reading Common Misconceptions About Maps
Paraphilia as an identity
Recently I started noticing more disdainful attitudes to paraphilia as an identity, as an umbrella term for non-normative attractions. The general accusation typically is that "paraphilia" is stigmatizing and medicalizing language, that people who identify as paraphiliacs are favoring antis and conversion therapy. Yesterday I made a post about this on one of my nnia.space … Continue reading Paraphilia as an identity
My contact stance
A little over two years ago I wrote a post here that I titled «My anti contact manifesto». Despite its name, it was intended solely for inner arguments in the anti contact community and is not very useful for anything else. It's still a semi decent argument for when I need to tell people that … Continue reading My contact stance
Zoo flags
Sometime before I promised someone to make a post, explaining current zoophilia flags. There already exists a post about map flags on Map-Wiki - here it is - but since a zoo wiki does not currently exist, this will be a WordPress entry. There are two deviantart accounts, posting various zoophilia flags, ZooFlags and ZoophileFlags. … Continue reading Zoo flags
Map rights
Several months ago I tried to define map rights, and I came up with the following four: The right to good faith assumption, privacy, and safety, equal to those granted to peer attracted people in similar circumstances.The right to information and education on map topics, available freely and to everyone.The right to gather and give … Continue reading Map rights
Against child/adult marriage
Several years ago, while writing my “Rebellion vs assimilation” post, I referred to gay marriage legalization as an example of rebellion – because for me, with all my Russian social experience, it seemed like something outstanding and very not in line with what the normative society is ready for. Since then I learned more about … Continue reading Against child/adult marriage
What are the non-normative identities?
As most of you know, I co-admin a social media site, called nnia.space. NNIA stands for “Non-Normative Identities Alliance”, and it is an ideological moment, started by me and Kamil Beylant in 2019 on Twitter. I already wrote before that I believe the norm to be one of the most oppressive social institutions. What is … Continue reading What are the non-normative identities?
Zoosadist community guidelines
In this post I want to talk about a need for a zoosadist community and some basic guidelines by which it could function. First of all, what is zoosadism? I define zoosadism as fantasies of violent and/or forceful nature about the animals one is attracted to. Zoosadism can be understood as an overlap of two … Continue reading Zoosadist community guidelines
On sexual stereotyping
A little bit different from my usual topic, I want to talk about social interactions in spaces, centered around sex, and the rhetoric from these spaces leaking into non-sexual social life. I will preface this by saying that I do not believe any paraphilia or more vague sexual preference is inherently unethical. People like all … Continue reading On sexual stereotyping
Zoophilia, zoosadism, ZETA
A couple of years ago I made a post where I outlined the problems I found within the Twitter zoo community. Now it is March the 8th, 2022, and nothing changed. The past few days were marked by discourse, surrounding zoosadism and Zeta principles. Zeta – Zoophiles for Ethical Treatment of Animals – is a … Continue reading Zoophilia, zoosadism, ZETA
