File talk:MAPs Pride Flag.svg

This is not a real flag. As the cited Snopes article says, it was made on Tumblr to troll people. This needs to be prominently noted on the page. The colors do represent genders, but not in regards to minors.

Dark blue: male Light blue: masculine Yellow: Non-binary genders White: Agender Light pink: feminine Dark Pink: Female

Some mention should be made to the nature of the flag 72.251.170.42 (talk) 06:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A) it does not have to be on a loose organizations “list” to count as a “real” flag, the people associated with the ideas/statements it represents confirm it as real when they use it.

B) if it is unanimously agreed upon that the flag represent something, that is what it represents. There doesn’t have to be any actual support for the idea/statement that a flag represents for it to mean that thing, you just have to agree upon the meaning. I.e. I don’t have to support America to know that the American flag represents America.

C) You’re wrong- the shades refer to various age groups, the darker adjacent to the lighter, is representative of the adult/child “relationship”. Yellow means you’ll take whatever, as long as it’s young. 63.155.25.102 (talk) 06:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia page needs to address that it is fake, or the whole page should be removed. 63.86.0.95

A flag is “real” if people who believe in the ideals/statements it represents use it to that effect. And they do. 63.155.25.102 (talk) 06:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of members from the pride community have made it very clear that they are not accepting MAPS into the community. Pride wants nothing to do with MAPS aka child predators. 2600:6C48:457F:C7FF:A435:F136:5F0B:AACE (talk) 15:02, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree- “pride” refers to an attitude/disposition, not the LGBTQ community. One can have a “white pride” flag or a “black pride” flag, these communities would be entirely separate. 63.155.25.102 (talk) 06:27, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saw a bunch of old guys waving it at a pride event 90.255.13.130 (talk) 21:22, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The text says: The "MAP Pride" flag. Made originally likely as a prank flag by a Tumblr user, it is now adopted by MAPs. The term MAP, which stands for "Minor Attracted Person," refers to any adult with an attraction to minors. Pedophiles, Hebephiles, Ephebophiles, are under this definition.

The text should say: The "MAP Pride" flag. Likely originating as a prank flag by a Tumblr user, it is now adopted by pedophiles, hebephiles, ephebophiles, who may refer to themselves as “MAP”s. The term MAP, which stands for "Minor Attracted Person," refers to any adult with an sexual attraction to minors.

Original wording implies the flag represents an actual community with a shared culture or interest, rather than a claim towards a diagnosable mental illness. The statement “an attraction to minors” is vague and may be misleading to those unfamiliar with colloquial language, as the flag is specifically referring to a sexual attraction. 63.155.25.102 (talk) 06:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No one is claiming that this flag is in any way associated with LGBTQ “Pride” organizations, it doesn’t have to be to be a “pride” flag. A pride flag indicates someone is taking pride in what that particular flag represents, and does not immediately imply a connection with any other movement. Pride is fundamentally a disposition before it’s a movement. 63.155.25.102 (talk) 06:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
