I was running some searches on duckduck about Wes Anderson and his film Moonrise Kingdom, which goes out of it's way to sexualize a 12 year girl and boy (for those who are unfamiliar with the movie, this is the scene to which I am referring ), when I found a very strange website... perhaps some of you have seen this before, but this was my first exposure to it.

https://www.boywiki.org/

Seen this one before? Note their site logo. This is their intro on the front page:

BoyWiki is a place where boylovers can work together to record our history and our culture. Together we can remember the early days of boylovers on the Internet before Kasper's Free Spirits page and Steffen's European Boylove Homepage and beyond, to the early days of IRC channels and Usenet newsgroups. We can recall the origins of BoyLinks and BoyChat and the formation of the Free Spirits Committee and the other resources that now exist to serve boylovers everywhere.

Curious how serious this site was, I dug around a little. Here are some of the articles I found in a section titled "Security for boylovers":

How not to accidentally out yourself

Erasure of digital information

BoyLover mistakes leading to arrest and conviction

The War Against "Child Molesters"

Informed consent by minors to engage in sex with an adult - required advisories to the child

The site also links forums/chatrooms in a section they call the "Free Spirits Community"

In their section on LGBT stuff, they have this to say:

Up until the mid 1980's, many boylovers considered themselves as part of the gay community. This changed with the advent of "The great moral panic" when male teleiophile homosexuals distanced themselves from pedophiles, hebephilies, and ephebophiles which was largely due to pressure from lesbians.

They describe "The Great Moral Panic" as follows:

the period in history beginning in the late 20th century and continuing to the present where boylovers are methodically targeted for persecution and deprived of their basic civil and human rights, imprisoned, and sometimes murdered, often through forced suicide.

...as though these predators are innocent.. victims of an oppressive society.

These people think they are oppressed and misunderstood. They think they are normal and should be tolerated, if not outright welcomed, members of society...
