While this is a good article, it does omit Stallman's opinions about age of consent, which is a huge sticking point for many people.
- eimrine 6y agoAny age of consent discussion is nonsense after all great things he did. He can have any opinion he considers wise and if somebody disagrees this disagreement has nothing to do with Free Software idea. Who knows, maybe after 100 years Stallman's point of view about consent will became common.

I've seen people describe him as a "paedophile apologist" and "rape apologist", which like some of the other terms like "transphobia" etc. also seem to be a few steps too far.
