The angry people showing up with guns screaming "THIS IS DANGEROUS" are the ones making it dangerous

"The group’s core values are simply peer support so that people with a horribly stigmatized identity have a safe space to share good times and bad times – and an environment that doesn’t allow illegal behavior." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

Hope this helps.

"This article was written just over two years ago, but the truths in it are very relevant in today’s culture wars where the LGBTQ+ community is accused of “grooming,” and the harshest insult conservative moralists can think of is “pedophile.”" https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

A buried lede in last week's @CommonSenseMedia report on young people's experience with adult content — less than a third of parents are using even basic filtering on devices or home internet. Would love to see how that breaks out demographically.

"As a kink, ageplay isn’t about hurting anyone; it’s about safe and fully consensual interactions with other adults." https://buff.ly/3kTLugo

"So, without further introduction, here are our top ten posts that are controversial but shouldn’t be – or, if you prefer, ten quick articles you can read to learn a little bit more about the prevention of child sexual abuse." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

How religious you are determines, whether or not you think you have a porn addiction regardless of actual porn consumption.

The fight against child abuse and the fight to protect human rights are fundamentally entwined because all children have a right to a life without abuse. This simple belief drives every aspect of our work. Learn more about who we are and what we do: https://buff.ly/31a7UKZ

"By scaling back our activities in other areas such as events, consulting, and advocacy, Prostasia was able to focus on its most distinctive contribution: the primary and secondary prevention of child sexual abuse" https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

"Our social media team also highlighted some particularly egregious examples of misdirected accusations of 'grooming' this year, including attacks against therapist Miranda Galbreath, and against LGBTQ+ orgs such as @Mermaids_Gender and the @TrevorProject" https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

Anti-prevention commentators are continuing to attack child protection experts, this time directly conflating efforts to spread accurate information about pedophilia, which can be used to guide prevention work, with "normalization."

"Now that the alt-right's 'groomer' campaign has become better understood for what it is, and as Prostasia Foundation prepares to introduce its new Executive Director for 2023, the time is right for us to return to the field of political advocacy." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

"We also completely revamped our online deterrence campaign in 2022. This program now includes a new series of ads aimed at helping people who encounter illegal content by accident to report it to law enforcement." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

"a major challenge during 2022 was the increasing misuse of the term “grooming” to justify violent rhetorical and physical attacks on marginalized LGBTQ+ communities, sex educators, sex workers, and even CSA prevention researchers and clinicians." https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a

Masturbation is normal for children and adults alike. Shaming or denying child sexuality does not help stop abuse, it just makes children feel bad for something natural.

When conservative anti porn lobbyists encourage financial discrimination against porn & sex workers, they aren’t “rescuing” anyone. They’re pushing vulnerable people into even more precarious economic situations. It ruins lives.

"“This legislative attempt to redefine obscenity is likely to be met with a constitutional challenge since it seeks to create a new category of unprotected speech that is inconsistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent,” attorney Larry Walters told YNOT." https://buff.ly/3iCPz84
