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

Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon

Holy fuck.

I was a teacher for a private company at 17. I taught kids aged 6-14. A couple of my students I had occasional intrusive sexual thoughts about.

She was 8, which was way below my AoA of 12+, and she certainly hadn’t started puberty. But she was attractive. She made me nervous, I thought about her everyday, I envisioned what we’d do together–she was just like any crush to me, only instead of an adult, she was a kid. But does that really make a difference? She was a person. What should age have to do with love? Eventually shit happened.

They even call it the pediverse.

    Hello! I’m AR15U! I’m the owner of rqd2.net! I’m transgender and transrace, and questioning transage and transabled. I’m a MAP as well

    What in the unmitigated fuck is this? How can someone be so ridiculous... transrace? Transage?! Transabled?!! Is this some sort of weird roleplay to make trans people look silly?

    It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that they are trying to make trans people look bad.

    Yeah, I think Poe’s Law may be in full effect here. The law basically states that without some sort of signifier that it is parody, it’s impossible to create a parody of an extremist that is so extreme that it’ll never be mistaken as genuine. It was originally applied to fundamentalist Christians, but has since been expanded to pretty much any trolling or extremist viewpoints.

    I genuinely hope that it’s a troll trying to make trans people look bad. Because that’s honestly the best-case scenario. The idea of this person actually existing is more gross than the alternative. Because if they actually exist, then it means they’re not just a troll trying to make trans people look bad. It means they’re a goddamned predator who needs to be sequestered away from the rest of society, and should never be allowed near children.

    People like this are guaranteed to exist. With the wide spectrum of sexualities out there plus the sheer numbers of human population, there was more than likely going to be a few that are trans and pedo. Just like how there are Catholic pedos, Buddhist pedos, certainly hetero pedos and yes, some gay pedos.

    Any attempts to hold up a trans/pedo or a gay/pedo as the norm for trans or gay communities needs to be shot down as the disingenuous crap that it is, because we know damn well that we can hold up a cis/pedo or a hetero/pedo as the norm and it would obviously be just as invalid.

    Oh I agree. The issue is that half of the population seems to be convinced that gay people are all pedos, because that’s the narrative that has been pushed lately. And shit like this only helps perpetuate the idea and add fuel to the fire.

    I don't doubt there's people who are trans and also paedo, I expect the same prevalence in that group as any other group. But this list of trans-things is just mental. I'm finding it hard to accept someone could unironically claim to be all those things.

    Though I wonder if the transable thing is reference to those ridiculous people who like, deliberately blind or maim themselves because they 'feel disabled'

    It's Poe's Law in action. I'm mostly fairly accepting, but that is a straight up caricature and joke. Not one in particularly good taste, either.

    Unfortunately, there are actually people like this.

    "Transabled" is a term some people use that wish to be disabled. There were even cases of people who paid doctors illegally to amputate a limb or they hurt themselves.

    "Transage" are people who believe they actually have a different age. For example they feel like they are really 13. Some of them use that to justify relationships with minors.

    They try to piggyback on the trans movement and present mental acrobatics in a whole new dimension of fucked up to explain why they are supposedly similar to people who are trans. (Which they really obviously aren't, I think that doesn't need explaining.)

    And you can bet on it that trolls and right wingers use these obscure group of mentally unwell people to attack LGBTQ people and movements.

    What's horrifying is the amount of pedo apologists on some lemmy instances. They screech that as long as they aren't touching kids they're free to be attracted to kids because it's not hurting anyone. Anyone that looks at a kid and thinks sexual thoughts already crossed a line and should never be allowed access to children or the internet. Horrifying. Pedo is not a sexual orientation.

    The person in the quote you're responding to is saying they actually abused a child and are defending that act. IMO this in particular should be much more harshly condemned; communities of people excusing and telling each other it's ok to abuse children.

    Uuuunfortunately, that turned out to be an easily-accessible post that was barely chopped up probably for brevity more than anything else. Wasn't one of their students, it was some 8yr old at their apartment complex.

    Dunno if you're from there or defensively made assumptions, but the MAP community was gonna come out fairly quick regardless and go over just as well.

    That may be so, but they do have pedo/'MAP' magazines where people openly talk about being...umm...'pro contact'. Fucking yikes.

    OK, that's disgusting, but I can't verify an image. There is not even a hint of the source.

    That is the current front page of the MAP magazine on rqd2. You can look for it yourself or you can use this link. By all means don't just take my word for it.

    I only preface this with one warning.

    I have moderated various platforms over the years, some with kids and some with vulnerable people including troubled teens and disabled people. I've seen just about everything and shaken off everything. The only exceptions involved the sexual abuse of minors. Those are the ones I remember. Dealing with this kind of stuff, even as just a moderator, an outside party if you will, hurt my soul.

    What's on this page is by no means graphic, either in textual details or images, but is instead disturbing in another way. Knowing what kinds of situations the kids these people talk to are inches away from, or heck, possibly are neck deep in already, and they talk about it like you and I might talk on a relationship magazine on any other instance.

    You have been warned

    Thank you, it didn't look so bad on the front page, but I can see what you mean now. There are several posts that try to normalize pedophilia.

    If it was a lot more like 'how do I deal with this so that the people around me are safe?' I'd be a lot more sympathetic to the mag and instance to be honest.

    There are some pedos that do their utmost to deal with it in a safe way, like avoiding kids where possible and getting psychiatric help. I'd have no problem at least leaving that group alone.
