Extensive coverage on X.

A poster with the lovely handle of "brainsturbator" gives a full, and very negative, run-down on "MAP CAMP" on X. The MAP get-togethers will start happening, soon enough, if not too soon. But study this example carefully, as it's an example of WHAT NOT DO TO. MAPCAMP. As with the B4U-ACT's previous JACOB BRESLOW shoe-debacle, it's clear that the name MAPCAMP will go down in BL history as . . . yet another BL-organizational fail. NOW, I don't love B4U-ACT any the less for its failures. They're cutting their way through jungle with a machete, and sometimes the alligators get them in the butt. But those I love, I chasten; and those I chasten, I beat black & blue, so that they might leave their childish follies behind. (I don't even know if MAPCAMP was a B4U-ACT event or not.) MAPCAMP . . . looks like a real disaster, in every way. Job #1: Be about coming together for something that isn't boy-centric. Farming, Noh-gaku, sports, ANYTHING. Just don't go around waving a light blue flag with an arrow on it, pointing down, that says "BOY-FOCUSED SEX-MANIACS SHOW UP HERE!" This is the kind of behavior that generates unnecessary over-excitement in the wood-chipper community. As with any kind of dog, their pray-chasing instincts are roused, and then we have tears. Job #2: Make it clear that the ADULTS IN THE ROOM are the ones running the show, and that it will be safe, sane, & well-organized, and the people running it WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE/DISTRACT/MANAGE/GROUND/TRANSFORM/STIFLE the kind of raw, sick, ugly, CANIFUCKABOYNOW?!?!? BL energy that will inevitably come up in such gatherings. (Because why else would people COME to such a group?) And make sure "the neighbors" understand that this is going to be a well-run event. Job #3: The easiest way to handle the complicated dialectic of "We're not into fucking boys we are into fucking boys we're TOTALLY NOT into fucking boys we TOTALLY ARE into fucking boys we are TOTALLY SAYING (tatemae) WE ARE NOT INTO FUCKING BOYS we are totally indeed (HONNE (!)) into fucking boys . . . ." is to not be into fucking boys. But then, without that, you lose your Pervert $$dollar$$, you lose your show-draw, and nobody comes to your event. So, don't don't don't turn over the management of your thaumatropic (flickering) signalling, to anyone who doesn't have a solid grasp on how to do this. Study the yaoi-girls, for instance, who manage to run yaoi-events WITH BISHI BOYS, but with a MASSIVE SET OF NO-HARASSMENT policies, to save the BISHI BOYS from being torn into pieces by the overweight, zitty, glompenfraus that attend yaoi/slash/bl conventions. For GLOMP, see here: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Glomp Job #4: Have a sense of humor about being the overweight, zitty, glompenfrau that you are, when it comes to boys. ---Sb PS: Still, it is fun to now be able to say, in the vaguest possible way . . . .. .THIS ONE TIME?? AT MAP-CAMP????? PPS: HEY, BOYCHAT! IT'S YOUR OLD PAL DIDASKALOS! You ARE my circus; you ARE my monkeys! Don't let's have that be MORE ONEROUS OF A RELATIONSHIP than it needs to be, for either side, OK? (https site) 'Brainsturbator' gives negative run-down on X.
