the long road to ranting about how some “snowflakes” had issues with RMS
- CRConrad 5y agoWhat's worst is, he's "defending RMS for saying" something RMS never actually said. From TFA: > He dared believe not all of Epstein’s victims were unwilling No, that's not what he said. He said they may have "presented as" willing, i.e. having been compelled by Epstein to pretend they were. He never said (AFAIK; at least not in this discussion) they actually were willing. This is sad for two reasons: 1) RMS is probably better of without defenders that defend stuff he didn't even do; especially when they're as ranty as this. 2) Getting something this basic wrong here colours one's impression of the whole piece; how wrong is he on everything else he said? Which might have been interesting, since the subject matter in itself is stuff that could affect many of us.
