The Scottish police are under fire, and for good reason, as they attempt to make a language change that would show grace towards child sexual predators and take a step toward normalizing pedophilia.
Instead of using the term "pedophile", the Scots are now going to be using the woke liberal term "Minor Attracted Persons" because, you know, you don't want to offend the pedos.
A controversial move to label paedophiles as "Minor-Attracted People" in a top-level report has been defended by Police Scotland, with the force suggesting the EU was to blame.
Chief Constable Iain Livingstone's annual year end report refers to child abusers as Minor-Attracted People (MAPs). The move comes amid wider concerns by campaigners over what they see as attempts to rebrand paedophilia as a harmless sexual preference.
Yeah, this is NOT a good thing.
When you rebrand the term "pedophile," all you're doing is protecting the feelings of child rapists and child pornographers while encouraging people to accept pedophiles as just another sexual preference.
A spokesman for the force stressed that MAPs is not a term they routinely use to describe child abusers and said that its use in the report had to be understood in context.
He explained that the reference to MAPs was in relation to the force's engagement with the European Union's Horizon Europe Project – Prevention of Child Sexual Exploitation.
Oh! I, for one, am SHOCKED that the EU is behind this move.
The term MAP is contentious because child abusers are trying to escape the stigma attached to paedophilia and maintain they should be regarded as a niche group alongside the LGBT community.
Kenny McAskill, the Alba Party MP for East Lothian and former SNP Justice Secretary, said any use of euphemisms in relation to child sex abusers was "baloney".
He said: "Spouting these euphemisms simply masks the reality and their danger.
"I very much welcome the common sense approach from Police Scotland, though even in commissioning documents these euphemisms should be avoided as they mask the reality and hide the horror. The term in whatever context is baloney."
"Baloney" is the mildest way to put it.
It's actually obscene that Scotland and the EU would ever use the predators' preferred label over an accurate label that emphasizes the perversion and criminality of the sexual deviants.
Allie is right. It's ALL part of the same LGBTQ+ critical studies movement.
