Well done!
I have something old but very relevant to share.
Every once in awhile, some journoscum or academic will put out a pro-pedophilia article to test the waters. Of course, they usually don't
outright endorse pedophilia - rather, they call for it to be "destigmatized", or they whine about how pedophiles are "misunderstood" and should be treated with therapy & compassion. They might also quibble about "virtuous"/non-offending pedophiles and how they're not the same as child molesters. But if you ever see one of these articles, look into the author and anyone interviewed in the piece... the chances are good that Prostasia is involved somehow. It's uncanny.
Here's an example from last year:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/life...philes-pedophilia-sexual-disorder/8768423002/ [
archive] [
A&N]
- This was notable in part because the journalist who wrote this (Alia E. Dastagir) also wrote the infamous USA Today hit piece claiming that Byuu killed himself due to Kiwifarms harassment. Very curious...
The title for this article is "The Complicated Research Behind Pedophilia", but that's not the original title... It was originally "
What the public keeps getting wrong about pedophilia". As you can see from the URL, from looking at an
older archive, and from
this response article from another outlet,
USA Today hastily rewrote the article's title and deleted tweets advertising it when people reacted with outrage.
Here are the
deleted tweets, and here is a
deleted blurb from when
USA Today temporarily put the article behind a paywall:
This is exactly what Prostasia is all about - pushing for the accommodation/destigmatization of pedophiles under some limited circumstances, with the underlying goal of full acceptance in the future (after the slippery slope works its magic).
Now you might ask... where is Prostasia mentioned in the article? You're right! Ctrl+F... zero results.
But look at who was interviewed for the article - a certain man by the name of
James Cantor. He's a member of Prostasia and is covered in this thread's OP.
For some reason (
) the author of the article, Alia Dastagir, went out of her way to avoid naming Prostasia. She simply introduces James Cantor as "a clinical psychologist, sex researcher and former editor-in-chief of,
Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment".
So the journoscum interviewed a Prostasia member and used Prostasia's talking points about how poor pedos are just misunderstood for her article, but she didn't feel the need to name the organization. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
