Kind of just felt like sparking a discussion thread and thought this might be an interesting one.
For me personally, one of, if not, my most controversial takes is that I will associate with anyone. Regardless of their opinions of if I personally find their opinions to be disgusting or revolting. I will give anyone respect who gives me respect.
Another one which I’ve expressed here before is that I do not think someone simply being a pedophile automatically makes them a pure evil child abuser who can’t help but rape every child that they see. And that some people can have this affliction and not actively seek out abusive content or attempt abusive actions.
My opinions on loli/shota/cub are also fairly controversial, but I imagine those are mostly shared by the majority of people here.
That should probably get us started pretty good!
So, What’s a controversial take that you have that most people would disagree with?
Feel free to have peaceful discussions about other people’s responses.
I think the key difference is that you can have consensual gay relationships in real life, whereas there is no analogous situation for MAPs. I do think that probably makes a pretty big difference in people’s minds, so I’m not sure how we would progress past that. Additionally, normalization was important for the LGBTQ+ movement: media depictions of “normal” gay people. That isn’t possible for MAPs in live-action, so that’s another barrier.
