Well, the season peace and love has had a sprinkling of hate. It started when Tumblr started its purger of adult content. Many people notice a lot of MAPs, the term they're using, were migrating to Twitter. It wasn't just that wnich angered them, but that many of the MAP claimed to be "no contact." Despite supposedly being open minded, they equate all of MAPs with molesters. So "no contact" is impossible. This hate spilled onto YouTube and now I see it Reddit. The target varies depending on the platform, with YouTube focusing on attacking GLers and Reddit and Twitter on BLers. The attacks included calling our predilection a sick fetish or mental illness that needs to be treated or have the afflicted institutionalized and trying to hijack the LGBT movement. Since commenting on these platforms requires registration, I haven't engaged them and try to refute their ideas. Yes, I teach them history and expose their hypocrisy, but I doubt they'll listen. They say they "accept" everyone's differences, but it must be the correct difference.



Sincerely,

Shaper of Worlds


We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamer of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
