[cw: child sexual assault] Heh, well, as long as we’re going for “technically correct”... You’re right. “All” Stallman did was defend Marvin Minsky’s rape of a 16-year-old girl. Said rape was facilitated by Epstein, so in defending it, he indirectly defended Epstein’s actions.https://twitter.com/dexter002400/status/1176136689070137344 …

Even if you object to drawing the line between defending the rape and defending Epstein, the fact remains that he defended Minsky’s rape of a 16-year-old girl.

Let’s assume, for a minute, that the rape never happened. It’s STILL morally repugnant to defend the idea of Minsky, an old man, having sex with (i.e., raping) a 16-year-old girl.

“Sometimes it’s ok for an old man to rape a 16-year-old girl” is not a position that anyone with any power should hold. Full stop. End of story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dear Stallman defenders, You can try that nitpicking bullshit on me if you like, but know that my “technically correct” will _always_ run circles around yours. Love, Sarah

Funny how Stallman dudes REALLY want to nitpick legalities and word choice...right up until I point out that Minsky having sex with a 16-year-old girl is legally rape, no matter how “willing” (ew) she appeared. Then all of a sudden everything can be fudged

"legally rape" -- exactly the kind of thing Stallman was pointing at. Rape is rape, it isn't supposed to mean something different based on technicalities. The question he asked was how can we say he raped her after we check and confirm what her age is.

Personally I think he shouldn't have waded into this discussion. But he did, as he usually does, also considering the fact that this was about HIS FRIEND Minsky.

But that doesn't mean he had an insidious agenda. Sadly, that is how it is being portrayed.
