So apparently “meet/find likeminded people” is a covert phrase people use to find others to trade and distribute CSAM/CSEM to, as in stuff that fails the DOST test. Undercover feds may use it as well.
This is kind of embarassing to admit, but I have used that phrase before, unbeknowst of its connotation. I feel torn about it, because I liked using it. For me it was a way to say “I’m looking for fellow accepting freaks with similar humour, values, etc.” I guess being more specific is more beneficial anyway.
So yea, be careful!
That is the most vague dogwhistle I have ever heard… Like I feel like that’s a common phrase outside of MAP or Radqueer??? Or am I tripping myself out?
Yes, it’s used regularly too. I just thought it might be useful information to be aware of. It’s likely vague on purpose so it goes under the radar.
Peculiar, of all the dogwhistles I’ve seen I don’t think this was one of them.
Like you said it has a pretty broad/non-sexual connotation in general so even if you want to use this phrase I don’t think you’d be put on a list or smth.
Nah, It’s more meant as a warning when encountering such individuals. And it feels uncomfortable for me to keep using the phrase since discovering this.
the fact that you used the phrase without knowing about this connotation means there’s probably lots of people using it in a completely innocuous and innocent way, just like you, so i really wouldn’t worry about it.
Yes, but that isn’t my point. I’m trying to bring awareness to the fact that the other meaning exists within paraphilic communities.
ah okie
