Following a mini drama with my 'brother' Liam Bennett Smith, better known as Sly Boy, my blog has been getting a bit more attention. Some of my new readers clearly don't like me, which has resulted in a couple of tips to the NCMEC in fairly quick succession. In this article, I'll share a few brief thoughts about the matter.

This site is 100% unquestionably legal

Despite my tendency to stray over to quite dramatic invective when perturbed, I am extremely careful about what I say and how I say it. My blog deals with incredibly contentious issues, like MAP rights, AMSC, and criminalized images of children. My views on these issues are deeply unpopular, but the manner in which I express those views does not constitute a crime. There is no illegal content on this site, and I am not counseling anyone to violate the law. An American reporting this project to the NCMEC might as well just rip up the first amendment.

Being a MAP teacher is also 100% legal

There is no law against being a MAP teacher. Yet clearly, many of my detractors are horrified at the simple fact that I'm a teacher in Asia, defaulting to some quite ridiculous assumptions. One of them even suggested I'd turn up in the news as a leader of a child prostitution ring! These people are incredibly fucking stupid. They seem to think MAPs are magical, mythical creatures that exist only in scandalous child abuse rings exposed on Fox News. The reality is much more banal.

Furthermore, the motivation behind my choice of location is rather more complex than my haters believe. The fact that I'm a responsible MAP is definitely a part of it; who would want to live with constant suspicion just because they clearly love spending time with children? But I thoroughly despise the country I was born in for many reasons. Indeed, if that country succumbed to a plague sparing only my family, I wouldn't be shedding any tears.

This site is meant to be seen

I feel absolutely no shame about being a MAP because I'm a good person toward the children in my care. If I then go home and fantasize about them, so what? The children don't even know I'm a MAP, although I imagine many of the boys would be quite amused if they ever found out I'm attracted to them. Now, I do hold deep resentment and anger toward the world for making MAP lives so difficult, especially given the reality that protecting children is absolutely not the main driver. That's a reason to go to war, not to feel bad about oneself.

My writing is intentionally public. I want everyone - including MAPs, vigilantes, and law enforcement officers - to see what I have to say. The same goes for my publications on Mu and Newgon Wiki.

MAP voices are frequently silenced on social media, and this blog represents a rare, brutally unapologetic stand against the censorship.

Imagining an agent reading this stuff gives me a chuckle

My site contains a number of short and aggressive posts, but also some fairly abstract and philosophical pieces that must be really fucking boring to anyone who isn't a MAP. Are the NCMEC agents required to take a detailed look at all of my articles, just to be 100% sure that everything is perfectly within the bounds of the law? If so, I hope they have a good coffee machine!

What's with the NCMEC playing world police?

This site is not based in America. I'm also not based in America, nor have I ever claimed to be an American. Why is the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children acting as an international clearing house? That is surely the job of Interpol, not a national agency of a regressive shithole of a country. But seemingly the NCMEC does attempt to play world police, as demonstrated by the ridiculous case of tipping off Norwegian police about a man playing a popular Japanese computer game. I guess it's not surprising given America's longstanding role as a leading abuser of children masquerading as protector.

The NCMEC needs better OPSEC

Seriously, if I were actually running an illegal website or hurting children, the careless handling of the reports would have been a huge mistake. Why let people know you're investigating them if you might potentially need to escalate to a police investigation? Given the actual cases of abuse the NCMEC deals with, there's no room for sloppiness.
