Template:Debate Guide:Other arguments

Other arguments don't relate fundamentally to attractions, minors or relationships...

• Against: Your arguments must be self-serving - Emotional, accusative and fallacious argument.
• Against: "As a parent" or "as a survivor" - Some wrongly argue that only parents are qualified to make judgments.
• Child abuse industry - Child sexual abuse has an "industrial complex" all of its own.
• The professional victim - The sexual abuse discourse perpetuates itself via well-meaning victims.
• The hypocritical establishment - Why concerns about child abuse may be disingenuous.
• Sexual repression as a tool of the state - It is in the interest of authoritarian states to persecute sexuality.
• Abuse of language - Language is misused and redefined to suit nefarious purposes.
• Blame game - How societies and individuals look for easy scapegoats.
• Self-fulfilling prophecy - Examples from within and outside of the MAP community.

Debate Guide is a work in progress, and some material is undeveloped...

• Short arguments - A large number of smaller arguments for use in debates.

From the encyclopedia...

• Hysterical reactions have many adverse effects
• SOR problems - Registries for sexual offenders are unfair and counteractive.
• Child pornography is much misunderstood, and is most certainly not a multibillion dollar industry (research).
