Next Step in the War on Kids – by Holly Math Nerd
The idea they re trying to introduce is that of the AAM, the adult-attracted minor. This is, they believe, a class of people who are under the legal age to engage in sexual relationships but who feel sexually attracted to adults people older than them, who are of legal age and capable of consent. It s been around since it first appeared on a pro-pedophilia blog in 2006, but it s been getting social media play lately.
The intention, naturally, is to use this ridiculous notion to try to further normalize pedophilia by foisting responsibility for adult-child sexual interactions (which are rape 100% of the time, as children are incapable of consent) onto children.
One of the many insane takes on this is that the taboo around pedophilia oppresses children who want to have sex with adults. One idea they want to normalize is that the AAM represents an oppressed group whose human rights are violated by having to constantly hear no from the adults they approach for sexual interaction.
Some pedophile and pro-pedophile accounts on social media are also using this to try to astroturf the idea that pedophiles are victimized by sexually aggressive children who regularly hit on them.

Part of the strategy of whatever you want to call the people who support this war against children is to cast people who oppose them as being somehow obsessed with child sexuality, and thus turn the very taboos against discussing it against those who oppose them. It’s as if the Nazis turned our horror at concentration camps against those who wanted to talk about them to alert everyone of the horrors the Nazis wanted to carry out. “What’s wrong with you? Why do you want to talk about concentration camps so much?” It’s a clever strategy. But it’s got to be opposed.
Good grief. You come to the party wanting to talk about fiscal responsibility and why low taxes are better, and you end up having to defend not having sex with kids, and all the other literally unmentionable things these people want to do. There’s a theory that use of artillery in WW1 dredged up the virus that caused the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. In our time, it’s as if social media has dredged up whatever obscure human perversions are behind this war on children and childhood.
