Welcome to Mu!
Welcome to Mu's editorials home, just one part of a bold new approach to Minor-Attracted Person (MAP) support and advocacy! Please use the navigation bar to see what else Mu has to offer. This page documents collective positions, press releases and news concerning Mu. We have separate content feeds for Mu Perspectives and Guest Blogs. Atom 1.0 and RSS feeds are available.
One of the most common retorts you'll see in relation to MAPs is that such people are 'sick' and need to "get help". However, it is never stated what this 'help' would entail, nor what it might achieve. Is some kind of conversion therapy envisaged? Is it assumed that all MAPs are entirely incapable of controlling their feelings?
The reality is that MAPs cannot be 'converted', and they are not necessarily lacking in self-control. 'Help' along these lines is neither needed nor wanted by the majority.
There are many reasons why MAPs would like to seek help, however.
A 2024 survey by Mu asked MAPs about their biggest challenges and worst experiences. Common complaints in...
On April 16th, an anonymous 'cybersecurity researcher' published an article about how many lawful MAP sites share a common infrastructural backbone. This led to another article in France's largest newspaper, written by journalist Arnaud Wajdzik, on April 21st. The news story alleged that the shared backbone represents a "pedocriminal ecosystem", quoting the thoughts of France's High Commissioner for Children.
Mu and the other sites using the shared infrastructure are all lawful. We have a legal right to freedom of expression, peer support, and general camaraderie, no matter how much online bullies would like to see our sites wiped off the internet. These are...
From today, news aggregation will be archived, and no longer updated.
The decision was made as the amount of work (6 hours, 3 days of the week) required to read and review news stories, was too much to justify the benefits of maintaining the service. This was the workload before the stories were added and organized within the forum.
There are obvious benefits when multiple users are reading news stories and updating information resources such as the forum and NewgonWiki. In some cases, blog posts were written on the basis of information gleaned from these searches.
Ultimately, the burden was not being shared, though, with Jim Burton doing the entire search, AI training...

Real Journalism (2025) is a collection of writings by Karl Andersson on (as the cover states) sexual politics, history, and culture. These articles appeared in Andersson’s self-published magazines, Destroyer and The Lover between 2006-2017. The book has a particular focus on man-boy love. Andersson includes enlightening accounts from boys who reflect on their sexual relationships with men. He reports on these interactions, and examines the social, economic, and cultural factors which influenced their d...
