This page focuses heavily on child sexual abuse (CSA) and bestiality and groups associated with it.

Due to the nature of dogwhistles, the phrases people use to indicate that they're pro-c will change over time. This article was written in 2025. It focuses on symbols often seen in radqueer/paraphile communities. It may be a bit outdated since I saw some of this stuff a few years ago.
Hopefully this page will help you to avoid people who are pro-contact. A more simple way to avoid pro-contacts is to simply only interact with people who explicitly state that they are anti-contact, who also interact with anti-contact people only.
Neutral / non-indicative but related symbols
Sometimes pro-contact individuals use good slogans to mean something different from their original meaning.
"I am pro consent" without any further clarification is sometimes used by pro-contact people. It's good to be pro consent, but some pro-contact people use it as a dogwhistle for "I am pro bestiality/child-sexual-contact [which I think can be consensual]". (I'm pro-consent AND anti-contact.)
Something similar happens with the phrase "I am pro choice," which in normal contexts means "I support the choice of someone to have an abortion," but in this context means "I support the right of a child to have sex with an adult."
Another phrase is "love is love." Though it is often used in LGBT communities, in the context of minor-attraction it is usually justifying CSA by claiming that it is "love."
Most people using these slogans are not pro-contact - try to pay attention to the context in which these phrases are used.
"Chronological age doesn't matter" is a phrase used to justify pro-contact via transage people - Being transage is not harmful by itself, but one must keep in mind that chronological age does matter when it comes to relationships. This talking point is used to shame people who are anti-contact by making them out to be anti-transage. This talking point is also used sometimes in the context of transspecies people and their biological species.
Also I'd like to point out that anyone could say "I'm against harmful contact", "pro consensual contact", etc, since pro-c's think that harmful contact isn't harmful.
Some people try to push for acceptance of pro-c's with slogans like "let's all just get along", "let's include everyone", "we're all hated by anti-paraphiles", and "let's not argue/discourse".
The "πΈ" emoji (children crossing) is sometimes used to incidate minor & MAP ("aam4map") relationships. An emoji sometimes used by pro-contacts is "π" (opened lock).
A pro contact MAP wiki, and their pro-contact MAP flag. I don't really know a lot about them, but aparently they're kinda right wing too? They also have a label called "yesmap" for pro-contact MAPs, in parody of "NOMAP" (non-offending minor-attracted person).
AKA "ZETA", "zoophiles for the ethical treatment of animals." They use a blue-brown-green flag and are generally pro-contact for bestiality. They use the lowercase "zeta" greek letter - ΞΆ. Some also use "β€β¦β’" to represent the flag.
See also on this page: Radqueer. Coined by a pro-contact guy, for people who feel excluded from the radqueer community for being "too radqueer". Basically only used by pro contact people. Sometimes uses the emoji code "πβΌοΈ", or shortens it to "post-rq".
Another pro contact ideology. Mainly look out for "xenosatanist", "xs", and the upside down star with the squiggly E thing.
"pro MSM/MMP" means "minor-sexual-material/minor-made-porn". Sometimes people will also just say "CP / π§π" for "child porn"

These symbols don't indicate any particular stance. If someone hasn't specified but they're using these flags, it might be a good idea to ask them.
Generally anyone with a paraphilia. Has both anti-contact and pro-contact individuals.
Other common-ish paraphilia emojis: π§Έ (AAM), any kind of zombie/grave emoji for necrophiles, π₯ (biastophilia)
MAP / Minor Attracted People: Anyone with an attraction to minors. Both anti-contact and pro-contact people here. Other MAP symbols include girllove, boylove, enbylove, kidlove, and the butterfly. Though the MAP flag with the white was meant to be for non-offending MAPs, it's being used by pro-contact MAPs as well.
(Popular childlove symbols taken from the paraflags wiki)
The blue-white-purple flag and the "alef" flag. The zoophiles I've seen using the alef flag are anti-contact, but it isn't inherently an anti-contact flag. (π€)
The radqueer community is a group allied around the ideals of being pro paraphilia and pro transID. There are some anti-contact people there, but I personally find that it is largely pro-contact and contact-neutral. Other symbols include the rainbow strawberry emojis ππ.
The radqueer community and transID community have a lot of overlap.
