I'm here, dude. At ease

No need to go toe to toe with the antis. They are filled with hate and a need to lash out at anyone whom they perceive to be vulnerable enough and marginal enough that no one will come to their defense. That is pedos and hebes right now. Society believes us to be nothing but monsters thanks to the myths that the media regularly spreads about us. This is why it's important for the law-abiding among us to enter discussions with MHPs and in the future, law-making politicians. It's also important for us to defend and promote youth liberation, not just to end this madness against us but also to extricate the young people we love from the chains around their ankles that cause their voices to be marginalized as much as our own. But I think LGLer is correct that vying with the antis directly is not going to help much. As 28 said years ago, it's not that they don't understand us, it's that they don't want to understand us. They enjoy their hatred, and they see attacking us and attempting to silence our emerging voice as a catharsis of sorts for this hatred of theirs. We need to counter their lies as much as possible, but going over into their territory on cyberspace is probably futile.
