       Next piece of text. Thoughts?"Maps are stigmatized for their attractions. One cause of the stigma is the conflation between pedophilia and sexual acts with children, which makes people perceive maps as abusers/potential abusers. Another cause is connected to the inferior social position of children - taking a lot of interest in children that aren't "yours", prioritizing children is frowned upon, because it is a challenge for the age hierarchy. One of the ways in which adult supremacy is enforced is promotion of the belief that children are inherently uninteresting and incapable of contributing to a conversation.An attempt to restore this order of things takes place when mapmisiacs claim that nobody can genuinely find children attractive, and that pedophilia is just an opportunistic act. They conceptualize wanting to be with living human adults as some sort of a basic trait everyone initially has, and any deviation from it - as settling for less when you failed at gaining an adult partner. By this logic, not only maps are potential rapists, they also have some fundamental character flaws that make them unlovable. Another approach to mapness includes recognizing that it is an attraction that actually exists, but treating it as an outcome of something pathological. They point at childhood trauma and delayed development, porn or sex addiction. This idea lies at the core of conversion therapy for maps, since they believe the attraction would go away by itself when the underlying causes are removed or lessened. Even somewhat supportive therapists who don't seek to promote conversion may still make such assumptions about a map, if they did not unlearn perception of mapness as inferior."

       @comrade_lecter re: paragraph 2Would you be interested in mentioning how that notion contributes to CSA culture too? (Might also be useful to mention aphobia?)
