Youth Attracted Person (YAP) is a sometimes-used variant of the established term Minor Attracted Person intended to repudiate the concept of Minority.

American Conservatives have identified "YAP" as an attempt to push the "normalization of pedophilia" to its "logical conclusion" following the successful spread of "MAP" within academia.[1] For them, that conclusion is namely the "abolition" of Minority itself; the death of childhood.

Publicity

The term has a mixed, and ambiguous history.

ZeebDemon, Elon Musk and Alice Day

It first received widespread media attention in April 2023, following an online controversy involving Twitter owner Elon Musk and ZeebDemon, a trans (female-identifying) pro-paraphilia, Youthlib influencer.[2][3][4] ZeebDemon also published a "YAP Flag" at the same time.

What is rarely mentioned about this controversy, is that ZeebDemon is not a self-identifying MAP, but in categorical terms a Child Sexual Abuse survivor who rejects mandatory victimhood status. They had over 1000 followers with a high interaction rate and made regular contributions that were at best adjacent to MAP discourse. It is therefore highly likely that Musk and Twitter's actions inadvertently recruited a sizable number of followers to the MAP Movement and alliance.

Possible prior use in trolling

Prior to this (early in 2023), it was mentioned on the temporarily closed video networking site FreeSpeechTube. Some users believe that in this instance, it was used in a hoax perpetuated by members of Operation Underground Railroad or other hostile actors, although this remains speculative and hard to prove.

It is hard to find examples of "YAP" on Pediverse prior to FST-derivative discussion of the term, but one long-time pro-c activist has stated that others were discussing it in late 2022.
