    I don’t think there are any billionaires who are actually MAPs. If there were, we might actually see some pushback on all these anti-MAP narratives in the media. They’re likely mostly teleios and peer-attracted people who get off on abusing people who can’t fight back like children and their workers.

    I don’t know. Maybe that’s a hot take.

      Im talking about people being just monsters to MAPs until its someone important, then suddenly they find justifications for it and worry for that person’s wellbeing, but if its not someone important they just want them to rot in jail at best

      I think since MAP just means minor-attracted person, sexual attraction doesn’t mean they can’t be abusive. It’s a neutral term. Like, I would call Jeffrey Epstein a MAP. I wouldn’t call them “child-lovers” or “teen-lovers” though, since there is no love there. Edit: Also, I think Epstein had a vested interest in minor attraction NOT being normalized because he used it to blackmail other people

        I disagree with this, though. The data shows that the VAST majority of people who commit CSA aren’t MAPs, but rather get off on having power over others. The youngest person that Epstein trafficked was 14, and while it’s possible to argue that he was just an ehebophile (and therefore still a MAP), it seemed way more likely that he just targeted young girls because they were easier to control, adding to his lust for power.

        I’m not saying that MAPs don’t start relationships with children (which is still counted as CSA, regardless of consent), but when I’m determining whether someone is a MAP or just an abuser with a power kink who targets the most vulnerable members of our society, I tend to guess the latter, as that’s just statistically more likely. Again, I’m not saying MAPs don’t commit heinous acts (especially given our positioning in society driving some of us to dark places), but I generally assume that if the child wasn’t consenting, then it wasn’t a MAP. I’m okay with being wrong 1%-2% of the time.
