Talk:Purity Culture in Fandom

Last time I checked, MAP stood for Minor Attracted Person. I couldn't say who uses this term generally, only that it showed up in some tumblr meta.

On a different note, I came across some 2014 Teen Wolf wank that looks like antishipping/purity culture by another name--basically somebody was morally outraged about incest and/or age gap ships in Teen Wolf (Peter/anybody? Stiles/dad? not sure). Eyes Up Guardian, Archived version (reblogged by plushstiel March 19th 2014)--aethel (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

What I‘m missing here is how purity culture was infused into shipping wars which led to the redefinition of all the terms purity culture goes on about. (One of the rival ship is 18, the other 25? Pedophilia. They knew each other when one of them was a teenager? Incest. I‘m looking at you, Voltron fandom! The only fandom I know where TPTB aged one character up by canonical means to reduce the age gap, but it didn‘t stop the harassment.) --Doro (talk) 21:29, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
