I thought we left this psuedo-psychology in the 60s, shelved away with Frued. So, uh, because this apparently needs to be said:
COCSA (child on child sexual abuse) is a thing and a form of CSA, it is differentiated from “playing doctor” in by actual genital stimulation, as is being suggested
An adult permitting COCSA is sexual abuse
An adult exposing a minor to pornography is sexual abuse and grooming behavior
Exposure to pornography is one reason, second to having been molested, that a child will initiate sexually abusing another child
I WANT A BULLET PUT IN THE HEAD OF WHOMEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS HEALTHY AND GOOD.
THIS IS JUST LETTING MORE CHILD PORN BE DISTRIBUTED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES AND MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START ACCEPTING IT UNTIL IT BECOMES LEGAL.
And by amazing, I mean, “well, at least this time people are being relatively straightforward that they prefer evangelical propaganda to actual scientific resources on child development and safety.”
But, you know, by all means tumblr, buy into the evangelical fantasy that the entire western world is a modern gomorrah rife with child sex slavery and ready to be burned by the cleansing fires of god.
That surely hasn’t even been used as a way to oppress and fucking murder people, and definitely never caused thousands of children to develop severe mental illnesses and oh yeah, to lack the words to describe being fucking raped so that they are unable to get help or protection. /sarcasm
Being antisexualist gets children hurt, and this kind of alarmist, anti-science claptrap is exactly how.
reblogging for the debunking. I had such a feeling of bafflement as I read the first few replies, wondering why people were accepting this at face value. Then I remembered the hysteria that always accompanies the combination of the word “children” and “sex” even when the latter is part of the phrase “sex education”.
please stop spreading reich-wing propaganda
Debunking time!
Additionally: I didn’t notice until now that if you go to OP’s blog they’re a literal Nazi, but indeed that is the case! Most of the first several commenters also declare right-wing affiliation in their bios.
from just seeing that article, my BS detector instantly went off. I’ve learned how to smell, for lack of a better word, right with tabloid trash. my fisrt instinct was to ask “what does it really say” and go from there, expecting exaderation at best and outright fabrication at worst. I can’t believe people are passing it around unironically.
I wasn’t aware of the Nazi connection, but it makes sense. This isn’t the first time that the alt right has employed pedophilia libel against anyone they dislike, in this case college liberals.
Seriously, look at the notes – they’re filled with URLs such as ‘patrioticwarriors’ or ‘prolifeproliberty’ or ‘tradcatholic’. That should’ve given people at least a fucking clue, on top of all the buzzwords in the ‘article’ itself and actually checking OP’s blog. Seriously, this is amazing – someone can be an outright fucking Neo-Nazi and Tumblr will still lap their shit up, if it’s a bog-standard ‘pedo scare’.
This bears repeating:
This isn’t the first time that the alt right has employed pedophilia
libel against anyone they dislike, in this case college liberals.
And the Tumblr Purity Wankers, that have paralleled the alt-right like a mirror, in turning ‘pedophilia’ accusations into weapons against anyone THEY dislike, believed this whole thing hook, line and sinker.
In Latvia, we’ve been dealing with articles like this, I dunno, for ages. There are stories saying that Norwegians hold incest as cultural norm and that WHO recommends teaching kindergartners to masturbate. Unsurprisingly there are stories where the gay community and human rights NGO’s are blamed for spreading pedophile propaganda and what not. The sources often are shady “traditional values” right wing organisations with ties to Russia. No matter the fact that there have been gazillions of debunks, people still keep reposting these. So I guess… brace yourselves.
This also used to be pretty constant in the US, but everyone to the left of George W. Bush knew to recognize it.
I guess that the right-wing orgs seeding this trash figured out that if they let one generation in the US grow up without constantly being hounded by pedophilia libel, those people wouldn’t know to mistrust them when they brought it back. And sure enough that’s what’s happening.

this is why we check the sources before crying outrage, ppl
