You make it sound like he said something mildly insensentive. He was "cancelled" for making pro-cp comments, and for literal decades of being a creep. https://t

And how does that invalidate his technical expertise? More importantly, was he charged and convicted with anything? I am getting really tired of this public opinion tribunal, where mere accusation is enough to get a person out of their position. This is not how this is supposed to work at all.

  No you don't get it. He was a "creep" aka should be cancelled wholesale on everything /s The only questionable thing he did was try to rationalise pedophilia, which he has since changed his mind about. Given that he's clearly _not all there in the head_ (i.e neurodiverse) and assuming he hasn't tried to access child pornography or similar I couldn't care less. All of the other accusations against him are nonsense[0] and all center around unsubstantiated rumors of him being a "creep." People being anti-Stallman is insane to me considering how much he has contributed and advocates for not only free software but also gender equality.

      That's right, the guy who sits down, takes off his socks and eats his toenails/toe skin in the middle of a Q&A[0] shouldn't be held to some ambiguous standard of how to navigate society. It's exactly this eggshell stepping that people are expected to adhere to that has people treating him the way they are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ&t=110s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ&t=110s

Actually, he was "cancelled" by people lying about him supporting Epstein and saying child rape is good, neither of which were even close to being uttered. The disingenuous nature of this all is why he's back in his foundations again.
