Recently Iâve come across blogs whom are purposefully targeting the DDLG and CGL community, making crude blogs around hating and judging the community as a whole.
This is not only very misinformed, harsh, and dangerous to our community, but itâs spreading such false information and hatred.
DDLG and the CGL community are not at all pedophilia; most of the time, itâs a coping mechanism.
A specific blog I found, where you can find and report them here, is especially rude and totally against DDLG in general.
For everyone whom it may concern: Let me break down their FAQâs and explain why they are totally wrong, and why DDLG and CGL are totally NORMAL and HEALTHY ways to cope, and are not invalid or otherwise promoting pedophilia.
+But itâs not real children!
Listen dude if your partner gets off on pretend child abuse I donât see how thatâs separate from them being into actual child abuse. Roleplaying child abuse is gross
Nobody âgets offâ on child abuse. DDLG and CGL are NOT about âchild abuseâ. Itâs about age regressing into an age different than their own. This type of roleplay or relationship is used as a coping mechanism in most cases. Itâs a very deep mental space (we call it Little Space) where participants are able to forget about their problems in the âadult (big) worldâ and not have to worry about responsibilities. Itâs a very loving and consensual relationship/roleplay between participants. Itâs never about child abuse - itâs about being able to nurture and be nurtured. Itâs a soft dynamic and play for others who suffer from things like anxiety, mental disabilities or disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and survivors of sexual assault, rape, and other forms of trauma. Participants act like a child in order to help cope with their adult responsibilities, life, and trauma. Itâs also not sexual for everyone in the community; and even if it is sexual, nobody gets off in the community from children. They âget offâ on the fact that they get to take care of their partner in such an intimate and loving way. This is in no way pedophilia. Pedophilia is between an adult and a child; this relationship and roleplay is done between two consenting adults; it is not pedophilia and never will be.
+Itâs not sexual for me! is it okay to like cute stuff?
Okay cool! you do whatever you want, I donât care either way about sfw stuff tbh. I love pink and girly cute stuff. Iâm concerned with people dressing up as children for sexual reasons.
Whether itâs sexual or not does not matter. If someone likes to have sex while calling their partner âDaddyâ, itâs the same thing as another calling their partner âbabyâ. Are you promoting pedophilia by calling your partner a baby? No. Itâs the same thing; and just because itâs sexual means nothing. Itâs not your right to judge what others do in their own private bedrooms, and itâs not right to kink-shame another. Thatâs like trying to shame another for having sexual preferences for the same sex; we all have sexual preferences. You donât have a right to discriminate and wrongly accuse another of pedophilia. Sexual or not, DDLG is never about pedophilia. DDLG is an intimate relationship between two consenting partners, who love and cherish another in a way that goes beyond the âvanillaâ mindset.
+Do not judge what you donât understand
Iâm pretty sure I get it, itâs literally not that deep; and Iâm pretty sure sexualizing and pretending to abuse a child is gross
DDLG and CGL are VERY deep and intimate relationships. It deals with mental head spaces. Itâs a very emotional and deep relationship, which can help so many people heal from past trauma, or help them cope with adult responsibilities and life. You are NOT sexualizing child abuse and pedophilia while participating in DDLG, CGL, or age play/regression. Acting an age different than your own does not somehow sexualize child abuse and pedophilia; this is a relationship and roleplay done between two consenting adults; they are not children, they are not adults having sex with babies. Participants age regress in order to cope, heal, and add something much more intimate and loving in their relationship. It deals with your mentality, and itâs very much a soft and loving relationship and play. Some prefer the sexual side of DDLG; they are still valid. They are adults participating in kink; itâs not illegal, itâs not promoting child abuse or pedophilia. But the majority of the DDLG and CGL community are in it for non-sexual and non-kink purposes. Everyone who participates, whether sexual or not, are valid. You have no right to invalidate someoneâs sexual preferences, relationship, or lifestyle.
+Im an abuse survivor and this is how i cope
thats terrible. you and your partner are pretending youâre a child and getting off on it how does that make any sense
It makes sense because itâs between two consenting adults. We age regress in order to cope and heal from trauma and adult responsibilities. You donât have a right to tell an adult what is right and what is wrong on how to cope, so as long as itâs not harming another. No adult is doing any wrong by age regressing; Â Â age regressing sometimes isnât even a choice; itâs a natural psychological and mental reaction to trauma, which sometimes isnât even a choice. Youâre invalidating someone who may not even have a choice.
Bud if your therapist says you should be pretending to sexually assault someone that seems messed up. âage regression therapyâ isnât an excuse to promote pedophilia omg
Age regression therapy is real, and professionals use it as a way to help victims of severe trauma. Nobody in DDLG or CGLÂ âpretends to sexually assault someoneâ. DDLG and CGL is about age regressing; which is no way synonymous with sexual assault. You can read more about Age Regression Therapy here.
+Why are you so stupid/uneducated/judgmental about what two adults do in private
Itâs not in private, its being posted on a public forum. also youâre using the same tags kids do/people who donât want to be involved in your gross obsession. Also why are you tagging porn as âlittle girl/little boyâ? wtf
No kid should be using tags such as âddlgâ and âcglâ. There are plenty of public forums about other kinks. There is pornography all across the web. You canât dictate what adults choose to put on the Internet. If you donât want to see this stuff on Tumblr, block them by turning on the NSFW Block Button, or simply blacklist certain tags, such as DDLG and CGL tags. DDLG and CGL is not âgrossâ. Itâs a very tender, soft, loving, and consenting relationship and roleplay between two consenting adults, and you have no right to tell someone how to cope and how to live.
Donât invalidate someone elseâs kinks or lifestyle choices. The DDLG and CGL communities are very safe and secure places, and our spaces are meant to help us cope and heal. You have no right to take that away from us, or invalidate our decisions.
