yeah of course! we've always been pro-para (definitional note for the unaware/uninformed/misinformed: supportive of paraphiles/people with paraphilias; not supporting any harm from acting on nonconsensual paraphilias) and we've tried our best to reflect it--at least implicitly--on our blog(s). if i recall correctly, one of our first posts on here actually mentioned paraphiles who selfship to deal with their paraphilia. it was jumbled in with a bunch of other stuff, but it was there (and at the time, having just started our blog, we were vaguely scared of harassment from the wider selfshipping community because of it lol).

i think we've kind of drawn away from that since those first few posts, mostly just so we had more people to talk to and interact with without being scared of like... a callout post or whatever, and we kind of regret doing that since it meant repressing our own paraphilias for a long time (or, at the very least, refusing to address them as paraphilias instead of kinks/fetishes/things we "find interesting"). we're actually very glad you sent that ask since it pushed us to clarify our views and sorta just... put our foot down on the matter and all.

So are you chill with anti contact MAPS interacting with you/following you?? :0

so long as no real people are getting hurt, we could not give less of a shit. we try to keep our morals consistent across the board, and that includes this.

we ourselves are paraphilic and have multiple of the big 3 (not gonna say which ones lol) among others (plushophilia, objectophilia, teratophilia, biasto + somno, blah blah blah you get the gist), so we're not gonna sit there and say "only [x] kind of paraphiles are allowed to interact!!!" it's just pointless and only serves to take community away from people who are already often extremely isolated because of their paraphilias, regardless of whether or not they've hurt people.

(we're also not gonna do the whole "only if you get/are getting treatment" thing--most professionals are just as terrible as the general public if not worse in our experience, and even if they weren't, treatment is only really reasonable if the paraphilia is disordered--and for a paraphilia to be disordered, it requires for there to be either distress or harm done to the self or others because of it. paraphilias, even the big three, are not disorders just by virtue of existing. (i'm sure you know this anon, just saying for the ones who don't))
