For the record: I give zero fucks about Stallman’s gross personal habits. I save all my fucks for the way he systematically and consistently acts to push women, girls, disabled people, and other folks from marginalized groups OUT of software.

Sarah MeiVerified account @sarahmeiOh for fucks sake. The Free Software Foundation was founded by a child porn/rape apologist, who continues to be on the board, and you seriously think this question even needs asking?

We shouldn’t
#cancelstallman because his ideas are abhorrent. We should do it because he has acted in abhorrent ways, deliberately & consistently, over 30 years, despite repeated feedback, & because in so doing he’s pushed countless women, girls, & others out of software.8 replies 160 retweets 669 likesShow this thread -

Replying to @sarahmei
His words *were* mischaracterized. He never defended Epstein and that is a big fat lie.

Correct. He defended Minsky’s rape of a 16-year-old girl, which was facilitated by Epstein.

I, and others with a strong moral compass, do not find that any more acceptable than directly defending Epstein.

He actually called Epstein a serial rapist. This is not about how people "perceive" things. If you are going to blame someone you need facts. Facts. How is this any different from Breitbart and other right-wing media exaggerations?

He defended Minsky’s rape of a 16-year-old girl. Did you forget that part?
