It’s hard to talk about the contemporary left and paedophilia without sounding like a QAnon nutbar. But it’s even harder to ignore the Pedobear in the room.

It’s surely just a coincidence that a convicted paedophile was one of the BLM rioters in Kenosha? Except that it seems less and less a coincidence, the more you look.

Remember the DisruptJ20 riots during the Trump inauguration? One of the key organisers was an open paedophile, who writes about “Why we like young boys”. Micah Rhodes of the Portland Resistance movement? Paedophile. BLM’s Charles Wade? Arrested for under-age sex trafficking. Pro-BLM, gay Democrat mayor Robert Emmanuel Jacob? Arrested on multiple charges of sexual assault against minors. The founder of Drag Queen Story Hour? You guessed it.

This goes way beyond a few creeps on the fringe of a big movement. The mainstream left media — mainstream, not fringe bloggers — are more and more openly promoting paedophilia. The BBC, Salon, the New York Times, the Atlantic, TedX… all have run blatantly pro-paedophilia stories in recent years.

Not even children’s entertainment is safe. “Queer” activists openly boast about pushing LGBTQ agendas in children’s programming. Actress Kirstie Alley warns that “People are becoming so ‘open minded’ that down the road they will support paedophilia as people ‘just loving children.’ You think I’m kidding. I’m not.” A program aimed at toddlers recently included a “pride parade”, hosted by a cartoon drag queen — and featuring a float decorated in the colours of the paedophile flag (yes, there really is such a thing).

The latest gambit of the pro-paedophile left is to tout so-called “NOMAPs”: “Non-Offending, Minor-Attracted Persons”.

An assistant professor at Old Dominion University claims that “minor-attracted people” — those who are sexually attracted to people under the age of 18 — shouldn’t be stigmatized for their attractions and that such feelings are OK as long as they’re not acted upon.

In a very limited sense, we might sympathise with a person who admits that they have a problem — an uncontrollable bent for kiddies — and seeks help for it. But that’s not what we’re talking about, here.

Allyn Walker — whose bio in “Experiences of Trans Scholars in Criminology and Criminal Justice” indicates the sociology and criminal justice prof is “queer” and “nonbinary trans” — recently was interviewed about the “minor-attracted people” topic and said “there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they’re attracted to at all. In other words, it’s not who we’re attracted to that’s either OK or not OK. It’s our behaviors and responding to that attraction that are either OK or not OK.”

See? It’s OK to lust after kiddies, as long as they don’t actually rape them.

Sure — and who wants to take bets on how long that turns into, “Well, if it feels good to them, who’s to say it’s ‘wrong’ to have sex with children”? When you openly campaign to re-frame paedophilia as just another “sexuality”, then the inevitable next step is to seek to legalise it. When we — rightly — stopped thinking of homosexuality as a perversion and an illness, it was the logical step to decriminalise it.

When you seek to do the same with paedophilia, then legalising that is also the next logical step.

Don’t kid me that the pro-paedo “queer” professor doesn’t know that.

After all, it was “queer” academic Gary Dowsett who wrote essays in the 1980s defending paedophilia — essays he later tried to scrub from the public record.

Stigma against MAPs is a problem, in part because it makes MAPs think that they’re monsters. That’s really problematic in terms of MAP well being.

The Blaze

And being raped by a “MAP” is even more problematic for their victims. Because “MAPs” really are monsters.

And so are the people defending them.
