「支持改革」是一套主張應透過審慎的法律改革,為 MAP 們及青少年提供更多權利與保障的框架。此框架反映了 Mu 兩位編輯的立場,但未必獲得 Mu 所有成員的認同。
支持改革的活動人士主張,MAP 與年輕人的公民自由無需以犧牲未成年人的安全為代價。我們支持採取理性且合乎邏輯的方針,避免在未造成實際傷害的情況下將人送進監獄,同時有效預防對兒童的實際虐待。政策不應僅基於厭惡感或主觀道德觀來禁止某些行為,也不應盲目假設哪些措施能有效預防傷害,這一點在監管「未成年人禁忌影像」(PIM)的政策上尤為明顯。本文延續我們先前提出的 AMSC(成人-未成年人性接觸)改革提案(連結),該提案旨在平衡未成年人的保護與自主權,同時也呼應我們關於「軟性」社會改革的文章。我們將探討PIM政策,並說明我們對法律改革的理念。
本文將使用的術語
在 Mu,我們使用縮寫「PIM」(未成年人禁忌影像)作為一個中立的術語,以反映並非所有違法的未成年人影像都是色情或虐待性質,且這些影像往往描繪的是年齡較大的未成年人,對他們而言,「兒童」一詞未必適用。我們並不否認存在色情、虐待性質且以極年幼兒童為主角的影像。然而,我們選擇採用精確的術語來處理此事,以涵蓋「被禁止的」範圍之全部內容,從對學步兒的駭人虐待,到由AI生成的、穿著比基尼擺姿勢的青少年卡通圖像等皆包含在內。若用「CSAM」(兒童性虐待材料)等術語用於指稱後者是非常荒謬的,此類充滿情緒色彩的語言,除了...
This article discusses a controversial pro-reform essay and concept titled The Push, introduced on Yesmap Wiki by BLueRibbon in May 2024.

Foreword (Percy Shelley)
When Brian Ribbon returned to the MAP activist community in 2024 after a 14-year-long hiatus, his first piece entitled The Push generated a lot of controversy. It was intended as a warning that MAPs, facing all the various pressures arrayed against us, might act out of desperation in ways that hurt themselves and others. The essay was written from a place of frustration over trag...

Earlier this month, I wrote an article focusing on the need for greater tolerance within our own community. I discussed various points of contention, such as alliances with other paraphiles, contact stances, and generational differences. The article generated a fair amount of criticism, which was inevitable. Let's consider some of the issues raised.
Identity politics within the community
One of the main criticisms in response to my article was my focus on identity politics, in particular the discussion of 'woke' ideology. Personally, I would not describe myself as 'woke...

Much of my writing on MAP issues is focused outward, looking at how horribly the world treats us. Given the shocking extent of misunderstanding, oppression, murder, and all the other nastiness, this is hardly surprising. However, sometimes it's important to look inward. In a recent essay on Newgon Wiki, I asked MAPs why our community is so apathetic. In this relatively brief article, I will be discussing ways in which we need to chill.
Contact stances
One of the major divides in the MAP community is 'pro-choice' (or pro-contact) versus 'anti-contact...

This article was published in October 2024. At the time, the authors were not aware of Mr. Prosper's horrific plan to attack a school. As MAPs who are romantically attracted to young people in much the same way that 'normal' adults are attracted to other adults, we can't fathom how Mr. Prosper could possibly have chosen to target a school. In this instance, we are very thankful to the police for preventing such an awful atrocity.

Pro-Reform is a framework arguing that cautious legal reforms are needed to offer greater rights and protections to MAPs and Youth. The framework being proposed is a personal position and not necessarily agreed upon by all members of Mu.
The pro-reform position is focused on maintaining a balance of freedoms, responsibilities and protections for MAPs and young people. Obviously, one of the most contentious issues is AMSC (Adult-Minor Sexual Contact). Almost always viewed through the negative lens of child sex abuse, legal definitions of what constitutes criminal sexual contact are highly arbitrary and vary significantly around the world....

Pro-Reform is a framework arguing that cautious legal reforms are needed to offer greater rights and protections to MAPs and Youth. The framework is endorsed by myself as an individual, and the opinions expressed here are not necessarily agreed upon by all members of Mu.
Going forward, my editorials will feature discussions on MAPs, Youth, AMSC, PIM, and what I call 'The Push', where left-behind/ostracized MAPs might become a risk for criminality, violence or extremism. All of my writings will ultimately be underpinned by my pro-reform framework and consent philosophy.
Position statement on MAPs
The Pro-Reform position supports the destigmatiz...
