IM SORRY BUT THE CONCEPT OF A PLACE WHERE MAPS CAN GUSH ABOUT THEIR CRUSHES REAL LIFE CHILDREN ONLINE JUST SEEMS REDFLAGGY AS FUCK TO ME.


First ask: http://eeveelutionsforequality.tumblr.com/post/172073700552/im-an-anti-anti-and-belive-in-ship-and-let-ship-am

Why do you keep using the term “gush”? I haven’t seen much that would really go past what only a nun could call “gushing”. Gushing is when you get me talking about one of my best friends, and I can’t finish a sentence because by the time my mouth has gotten out half the words there’s another point trying to spill out of my brain. Gushing isn’t “I saw somebody today, they were pretty hot.”

The MAP community isn’t about talking about crushes either. 99.9% of the posts have absolutely nothing to do with talking about personal feelings about people - like I said, most people are there to combat pro-cs, to talk about psychology, to share studies, to talk about CSA prevention, to give advice on talking to professionals if you need that, to give advice on building willpower and practicing mindfulness, to talk to outsiders about what anti-contact means and how they aren’t bad people, to combat the suicide baiting, and stuff like that. The MAP community isn’t “a safe space to gush”, its primary goal and function is conversation on a particularly hard topic to aid in achieving the goal of preventing the abuse of children, and that’s what it does, that’s what posts in the community are mostly about. The miniscule fraction of posts that do talk about kids exist because it’s also a support network, to get thoughts off your chest and get the support you need to get through things.

What you’re saying is that they only deserve to be able to voice those thoughts in the secluded and cruel forums of pro-cs on the deep web, rather than being able to voice them somewhere where there’s an explicit goal of protecting children and providing practical mental health support for them - which, in turn, also has the goal of protecting children.

It seems “redflaggy” because you’re misrepresenting what it is.
