rqd2.net rule 3:
Unfortunately I have been shown that there is promotion of pedophilia on that site. Although there may not be actually illegal content.

Just because they aren't directly hosting illegal content, doesn't make it danger free. They freely encourage 'pro contact' as if it isn't a very strong possibility that, when someone is in contact with a person they're attracted to, they may well ... take the next step.
Well yeah, that's what pro contact means. Pro sexual contact. They don't think there's any inherent problem with sexual relationships between adults and kids.
"Pro contact" is just a polite way to say it, obfuscating what they're really talking about.
To them it seems that pro contact means contact with the person you're attracted to, even if it's not (edit: explicitly) sexual yet. Kinda like how you might talk with someone you're crushing on but not yet banging.
There already is a perfectly acceptable word for this though. It's called 'grooming'. It is called so because it is a precursor to what will inevitably become what they themselves call 'abuse'.
You know how when you've been talking to someone you really want for months and the sexual tension has been ratcheting up higher every minute, then something just makes that explode and suddenly you're just not thinking, just doing? How the everloving fuck do they expect pro contact to end anything other than in an immeasurably fucked up and scarring version of what I just described?
I think you may be using a different definition of terms. Pro-contact MAPs think that having sex with minors is fine, and that it isn't abuse. Here's a link to the MAP wiki on the subject: https://map-wiki.com/index.php/Pro-contact
If you go to the instance being discussed, you'll see people openly saying that sex with kids is okay and that they don't think there's a problem with it.
Oh...oh...excuse me, I'm feeling sick 🤢 like, I knew these guys were crossing serious lines but to think it is 100% fully intentional with no ignorance to the dangers involved...fucking 🤮
Yes I see that now.
This says all you need to know
Yes, that part was a bit confusing to me at first, since they already described zero tolerance against anything not adhering to official guidelines Dost Test, which is new to me.
But it makes perfect sense now, they only follow those rules strictly because they must. They would probably love if they could break them if they thought they could get away with it.
When I was shown a link to what they call "MAP", it very quickly became crystal clear what it was about.
