> However, in 2018 he defended Cody Wilson, who later pled guilty to sex with an underage girl, with Stallman saying that the girl likely had "entirely willing sex with him."

I read that post and I do not see anything horrible about it. He makes a fair point regarding the use of term sexual assault or characterizing the teen as a child.

> In 1993, he asked for birth announcements to be banned from emacs mailing list, unless they are announcements for seahorses, because then it would be the male that gives birth and therefore interesting.

I do not see what is weird with that either. Would you be interested in birth announcements in your gitlab issue tracker?

> but still implies that people with Trisomy 21 should not be born

Yes, he has an opinion that he does a good job justifying. So what?


Ugh this is so tiring. Internet avengers tirelessly looking for justice and posting their portfolio of links against Stallman.

Everyone made their minds already on this one. Please move on!


It's not just 'internet avengers'. There are plenty of us who had to be in that hirsute homunculus' presence, and found him a creepy buffoon long before SJWs ever were in the picture. I'm talking close to 2 decades before.


>that hirsute homunculus' presence

What a horrible thing to say about someone, 'deplorable software celebrity' or not. Attacks on personal appearance should be considered body shaming and unacceptable. It is generally best to imagine you're in a professional setting when talking about people.
