I don't believe he's arguing about the word. I think he's arguing whether it should be illegal.
"I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing."

- AstralStorm 7y agoIt's an interesting claim and we actually lack decent research on this. That would be hard to obtain though. That said, Stallman decided later nobody should still do it. Perhaps though scorched earth prosecution is not the best in some cases. Judges understand this in EU countries, juries often don't. This does not include Epstein or even Minsky.
