	Terminology tends towards [[Minor Attracted Person\|MAP]], [[NOMAP]], [[Adult Attracted Minor\|AAM]] and old staples such as [[Boylove]] and [[Girllove]]. Others identify as [[Youthlove]]rs, and many identify with differing terms depending upon the audience (fellow MAPs, vs "Normies"). The commonly accepted symbol is the [[MAP Flag]], initially popularized as the ''NOMAP Flag'' of 2018. Efforts to design such a flag had began in 2008, and older symbols exist, such as the [[BLogo]] and [[GLogo]] - each generating their own controversies. The downward-pointing pink triangle used to identify homosexual/pederast men in Nazi concentration camps has also been adapted - for example in the NewgonWiki logos past and present. The Mu (μ) symbol has been used on social media in the late 10s and 20s, as has a map emoji.

The present (second-wave) MAP Movement

← Older revision		Revision as of 15:47, 3 September 2023
Line 7:		Line 7:


	Second-wave activity started with the widening availablity of the internet<ref>Tremblay, Pierre. ''"Convergence Settings for Non-predatory 'Boy Lovers.'"'' Situational Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse (Crime Prevention Studies, vol. 19). Ed. by Richard Wortley and Stephen Smallbone. Monsey, NY: Criminal Justice Press, 2006. pgs. 145-68 (pg. 145).</ref> at around the turn of the century, and developed considerably in the late 00s and 10s, as the actual term MAP came into use. The first nominally second-wave activist was probably the hugely divisive [[BoyChat]] user [[David Riegel]], in the year 2000. Others followed, such as [[AP]], Rookiee and Clayboy - mainly [[pro-c]], and referring to themselves as [[boylove]]rs/[[girllove]]rs, or by other novel terms of identification. [[IBLD\|International Boylove Day]] was set up, and some real life meetings took place - with as many as 50-100 attendees. Organizations such as [[B4U-ACT]] started to work more closely with the community, and sites such as [[Newgon]] sought to make the literature published by 1st-wave predecessors (i.e. [[Ipce]]) more accessible. "Minor Attracted Person" started to be used as an umbrella term, and increasingly as a term of self-identification. By around the mid-10s, as [[Virtuous Pedophiles]] and social media [[NOMAP]]s emerged from the shadows, a small but cohesive movement using MAP as a term of self identification had finally formed. By the 20s, after numerous publicity incidents, "Minor Attracted" was responsible for at least three times as many impressions as the [[NAMBLA]] keyphrase on American social media platforms.

The first nominally second-wave activist was probably the hugely divisive [[BoyChat]] user [[David Riegel]], in the year 2000. Others followed, such as AP, Rookiee and Clayboy - mainly [[pro-c]], and referring to themselves as [[boylove]]rs/[[girllove]]rs, or by other novel terms of identification. [[IBLD\|International Boylove Day]] was set up, and some real life meetings took place - with as many as 50-100 attendees. Organizations such as [[B4U-ACT]] started to work more closely with the community, and sites such as [[Newgon]] sought to make the literature published by 1st-wave predecessors (i.e. [[Ipce]]) more accessible. "Minor Attracted Person" started to be used as an umbrella term, and increasingly as a term of self-identification.
