TRIGGER WARNING

Mentions: paedophilia, manipulation.

DISCLAIMER

I do not support harassment of any kind towards anyone.

You should be reporting this user to Game Jolt instead of harassing them if you find them somehow.

Moreover, my intention behind this post is to bring awareness to the issue in general and the precedent it may set if left unattended, not to the user(s) in specific.

Therefore, I have censored their name and handle, and I will not mention them by name either to comply with Game Jolt's rules against harassment.

AND PLEASE DO NOT HARASS THE MODERATORS OVER THIS, THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS DISCLAIMER.

What is a MAP?

The noun "MAP" stands for "Minor Attracted Person", it refers to a specific group of paedophiles that attempt to use the LGBTQ+ community as a scapegoat to "excuse" their sick actions.

Why must we report these users?

Because MAPs may manipulate minors on this site into performing sexual acts.

Which is bad, obviously.

But how has this user violated the rules (or arguably the law)?

By attempting to argue that "it is better for adults to have sexual relationships with children". No, I'm serious.

I sure do wonder why we have the age of consent, especially when it was created to stop grown men from hurting, coercing and manipulating little kids into performing acts they can't consent to in any way.

I do not know how many times I have to say this; children cannot and should not consent to sexual acts under any circumstance.

I hope that I have made my stance clear.

Conclusion

I personally believe that if users who spread these kind of dangerous paedophilic views are not reported or banned for their sick, disgusting actions; that it will be incredibly dangerous for the reputation of Game Jolt going forward.

But I will say this before ending my stance on this matter.

It is not okay to spread paedophilic or dangerous views, but it is also not okay to send hundreds of random "vigilantes" after them.

If you see someone doing something bad, you must always call the police, or report them on the site that they did it on.

Thank you for reading this.
