In case anyone is wondering, it's rqd2.

The definition of paraphilia is "a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities.", which can inclde pedophilia.

It has recieved 4 censures from fediseer due to the content contained on that instance

Not a good look for Lemmy to be promoting any instance like that.

You can see for yourself here

Well yeah, that's what pro contact means. Pro sexual contact. They don't think there's any inherent problem with sexual relationships between adults and kids.

"Pro contact" is just a polite way to say it, obfuscating what they're really talking about.

To them it seems that pro contact means contact with the person you're attracted to, even if it's not (edit: explicitly) sexual yet. Kinda like how you might talk with someone you're crushing on but not yet banging.

There already is a perfectly acceptable word for this though. It's called 'grooming'. It is called so because it is a precursor to what will inevitably become what they themselves call 'abuse'.

You know how when you've been talking to someone you really want for months and the sexual tension has been ratcheting up higher every minute, then something just makes that explode and suddenly you're just not thinking, just doing? How the everloving fuck do they expect pro contact to end anything other than in an immeasurably fucked up and scarring version of what I just described?

I think you may be using a different definition of terms. Pro-contact MAPs think that having sex with minors is fine, and that it isn't abuse. Here's a link to the MAP wiki on the subject: https://map-wiki.com/index.php/Pro-contact

If you go to the instance being discussed, you'll see people openly saying that sex with kids is okay and that they don't think there's a problem with it.

Well that's disappointing. I was about to spring to their defense about how MAPs/Pedophiles having a sense of community is actually a good thing (see: https://www.thestranger.com/articles/2018/07/20/29453977/online-support-groups-can-keep-pedophiles-from-offending-but-they-keep-getting-shut-down), but I'm not going to spring to their defense if they allow pro-contact views. I only support anti-contact (ie knowing that adult-child sex is wrong). maps
