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.
This list, as with the last, is to be continuously updated throughout the two week period, regardless of what articles Mu posts on top of it.
We are discontinuing tagging of stories, as we felt it was not useful. We also encourage Mu readers to post about any of these news stories on MAP Forum, where they will hopefully get feedback.
We strongly suggest to readers who like to comment these pieces at the news site, not to wait for the story to appear here, as it will be too late. Instead, conduct your own Google News searches using the prompts at the bottom of our page and ultra-short-dated time range specifiers, e.g. when:24h,or when:48h. For future archives...
Mu is glad to announce it can now operate a MAP news wrap service full time, supported by its editorial staff. We are calling it MAP Alert News.
Here's how it will work. Every two weeks, we will post a blog article like this on the home page. The next period will run from 10 Oct to the end of that month, as this one is covering both late August and part of September. Eventually, each post will cover either the first or last ~15 days of a month.
Each MAP Alert News post will contain a chronological list of all the news stories we find useful, unique or interesting. This list will be continuously updated throughout the period, regardless of what articles Mu posts...
In recent months, an Australian Radical Feminist organization has been making international waves in the world of financial censorship, and MAPs are feeling the heat more than most, it would seem.
Collective Shout would on the face of things, appear to be a legitimate charity - a crusading force for women and girls, fighting unfair "pornified" stereotyping and sexual objectification. Those doing the shouting have sought to target the hucksters behind what they see as pure brain-rot, i.e. platforms and online stores that sell access to independently developed games.
Their rationale is time-honoured; today's cottage industries in gaming content are ultimately poo...
In October 2024, the MAP community became aware of a horrible tragedy perpetrated by Nicholas Prosper, a young man from the UK who murdered his mother and two siblings. Networking with various contacts within the MAP community led us to find that Prosper had actually been active within our community and identified as a MAP, with a special interest in the character of Clementine from The Walking Dead video game series. Some of this information has now been published by mainstream media, and we expect more to be revealed at his sentencing.
Brian Ribbon, who had previously warned in his artic...
Numerous media outlets are reporting a plan by the UK government to pass laws against tools that can be used to make criminalized images of AI children. Accounts are somewhat vague and even contradictory on details. According to The Guardian, under the upcoming Crime and Policing Bill:
- "It will become illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to generate child sexual abuse material."
- "It will also become illegal for anyone to possess manuals that teach potential offenders how to use AI tools to either make abusive imagery or to help them abuse children." ...

MAP Union, or Mu, is an organization that advocates for MAP visibility, equality, cautious legal reform, and youth rights. If you're curious about the 'MAP' term, perhaps considering it a euphemism, please read here.
Recently, we have been the subject of a smear campaign by the far-right anti-trans hate group Gays Against Groomers, which has in turn led to our organization being defamed by firebrand Sicilian politician Francesca Donato.

Mu is an umbrella organization for MAPs that has no official connection with MAP Camp. Following social media fallout over our prior press release and contact with media organizations, we issue the following response.
First of all, we are concerned that certain people have been labeled as responsible for hosting the event. Their personal information has been broadcast on social media, despite those individuals denying any association. We believe that such doxxing is dangerous, especially on an issue as sensitive as minor-attraction. People have been killed over accusations of "pedophilia", whether those accusations have been...
Mu is an international umbrella organization seeking to represent the MAP community. While it supported the MAP Camp event being held, it has no ties with MAP Camp itself, nor with the organizers of the event.
MAP Camp was a planned social gathering for minor-attracted people (MAPs) that was scheduled to be held this weekend at a campground in Vermont. It was first organized in July of this year by civil rights group MEDAL (MAP Equality, Dignity, and Liberation) but soon after became independently run. Preparation for the camp seemed to be going smoothly until bullies on X (formerly Twitter) caught win...
Celebrity "pedophilia" is again making headlines this summer, causing considerable embarrassment and a sense of deja-vu for a public-broadcasting institution.
When the news first broke, the British public were apparently shocked to hear their 'national treasure', BBC bigwig, and royal reporter Huw Edwards apparently had some kind of interest in teenagers. Never mind that he had not been accused of sexual interaction with anyone under the local age of consent (16). Having any sexual interest in minors, under the age of 18, was itself a cardinal sin.
