The “queer criminologist” who thinks pedophiles are really just “minor attracted persons,” or MAPS, quit his job at a university in Virginia this week.
Pedo backer Allyn Walker, Old Dominion University announced, is stepping down, the nice way of saying the university told him to hit the bricks because he conducted an interview with another pedo-supporter that went viral. MAPS, he said, should not be stigmatized; nothing is wrong with pedos who lust for children, as long as they don’t act on the lust.
Walker’s message: Yearn, but don’t act. Look, but don’t touch.
Angry but peaceful protests ensued, and so ended Walker’s career at the taxpayer-subsidized college.
Where Walker will go from ODU we don’t know. But he might want to send his resumé to NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association. Then again, he could also join the staff of Prostasia, the pro-pedo outfit whose chief communications man, pedo pal Noah Berlatsky, conducted the interview.
The Interview
Walker, who is also trans and makes Elton John look like John Wayne, landed in hot water when he imprudently discussed his fantasy that sexual attraction to kids is just another normal, if rare, desire on the wide spectrum of legitimate sexual preferences.
“First of all, because I think it’s important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them,” Walker told Berlatsky, a pro-pedo contributor to such outlets as NBC and the the Atlantic.
MAP is “less stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile,” Walker mused, and thus the use of “pedophile” must be stopped:
A lot of people when they hear the term pedophile, they automatically assume that it means a sex offender. And that isn’t true, and it leads to a lot of misconceptions about attractions toward minors. I’ve definitely heard the idea that you brought up though that the use of the term “minor attracted person” suggests that it’s okay to be attracted to children, but using a term that communicates who someone is attracted to, it doesn’t indicate anything about the morality of that attraction.
MAPS, he fretted, “think that they’re monsters. That’s really problematic.” And “non-offending maps by definition do not abuse children, so their behaviors are moral.”
Walker also wrote a book about “MAPS” titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, which was published by the taxpayer-subsidized University of California. No surprise there.
Anyway, shortly after the pro-pedo interview with pro-pedo Berlatksy, anti-pedo activists at ODU made clear that Walker isn’t welcome at the school. Among the slogans the activists posted on walls, signs, and sidewalks, were “don’t sexualize children,” “MAPS = Pedophiles,” and of course, “Fire Allyn Walker.”
The university didn’t fire him, but instead placed him on administrative leave. It also delivered a panicked prepared statement that assured students and taxpayers that neither the school nor Walker support sexual crimes against children.
Fired
That’s what pedos always say, right before they molest a kid, but in any event, the school had no choice. Walker had to pack his book, make-up, and false eyelashes and leave.
“Old Dominion University and Dr. Allyn Walker are announcing that Dr. Walker has decided to step down from their position as assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at the expiration of their current contract in May 2022,” the school announced. “We have concluded that this outcome is the best way to move forward,” said school president Brian O. Hemphill.
One would think so.
Walker will remain on administrative leave until his contract expires. One can assume the school is paying to do nothing.
As for the “queer criminologist,” he amusingly claimed that his “scholarship aims to prevent child sexual abuse.”
His “research was mischaracterized by some in the media and online, partly on the basis of my trans identity,” he continued:
As a result, multiple threats were made against me and the campus community generally. I want to thank Old Dominion University for giving me the opportunity to teach and to conduct my research, and the ODU Department of Public Safety for monitoring the threats against me and the community.
Prostasia’s contribution to pro-pedo literature includes publishing a piece by a convicted sex offender who argued against sex-offender registries.
Not surprisingly, Berlatsky has protected his tweets. He still has a Patreon account, despite his pro-pedo propaganda.
