    BTW, the justification for using different names for pedophiles - like minor attracted person - isn’t to normalize child abuse.

    Rather its to get people to seek and accepted help.

    The real goal for us should be protecting kids. Not punishing people with dirty thoughts.

      I think that’s a good cause, but isn’t the definition of a pedophile meaning one who likes young aged people? Minor attracted person is the same thing with extra steps. Same stigma, same thoughts, same people.

      Get the help but unfortunately it may be one of the things that shouldn’t be vocalized in a normal setting as most people are too narrow minded to help.

        Removing stigma helps us talk about the issue. That’s why MAP phrasing is promoted by those more concerned with child protection than virtue signalling.
