It could be satire, might not be. TBH, If Alberta is doing all of this, then yes, they're actively making it easier and more likely that children will be abused. Opt-in sex education is one that's especially pernicious; that's one of the things that give children the knowledge that what is happening to them is abusive. Without that, they may think that it's 'normal', that it happens to everyone. Teaching children correct anatomic names removes the ability of child abusers to use coded language.

Yes this is all happening. We have an election coming up too and it's looking like it might be what a majority of albertans want.

What are MAPs?

[–] JustLuck@lemmy.world 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it's "minor attracted person". So pedophiles who went all out on: its not me that's the problem, but society...

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I believe the original purpose of that phrase, was to differentiate between people who act on those attractions, and those who understand it's wrong and refrain from doing so.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The issue is using the same kind of language as like "Person of Color", as if pedophilia is an identity rather than an illness.

If we truly want a neutral clinical name, we'd say something like "Minor Attraction Disorder". It's something that's only permissible if you are actively seeking help and self control like any other disorder that's prone to harm.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're conflating pedophilia with MAP, which is the very thing they're trying to combat.

The difference between MAD and MAP would be if you're referring to the person or the condition, obviously. And I'm sure you can see why nobody wants to be referred to as a MAD person.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

That's the thing, you shouldn't be identifying as a person attracted to minors. You don't say "I'm a Person of Depression" you say "I have depression".

If you're serious about outlining the minor attraction as a problem you have to struggle with, don't declare it like an identity to be proud of.

And if you don't see it as a problem, you're just enabling pedophilia. The people inflicted with it need to admit they have an illness to get treated.

a bunch of assholes trying to equate LGBT people to pedos.

false flag operation, or actual pedos? both.

Criminals

Please tell me this is some sort of satire/irony intended to wake up the people of Alberta

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social -1 points 8 months ago

MAP as an acronym is 4chan trolling to link pedophilia and LGBT. This is bait for idiots and conservatives to circlejerk over.

[–] Letsdothis@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"Sport gender checks for minors"??

Is this exactly what it sounds like?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yes.

What does removing child capacity mean?

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

In certain circles, people asking for this are fishing for a doc willing to perform a lobotomy on a child

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Capacity to consent if I understand correctly

[–] unnamedau@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

oh no oh no oh no no no nooooooooooooo no no please no

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The name is blacked out so I'm going to assume it's a UCP MLA.

Looking forward to the trump tariffs forcing people to reckon with how our government is incompetent as fuck. Maybe then people will be able to see through the facade of fake economic populism to the demonic ghoulishness at the core of this party's policies.

Best I can give you is blame Trudeau.

I never knew South Park was in Canada!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social -1 points 8 months ago

Bot bullshit, lmao. MAP is literally a troll acronym made by anon and only fascists pretend to believe it to push their narrative.
