Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:
I haven't read all of that, but I agree with most of it. No one should have sex with a non consenting partner, but there is a real pattern in society where people want to exaggerate sexual misdemeanours that people have done and call it pedophilia or sexual assault, as a sort of clickbait, when it is in reality more minor. I am also against other forms of clickbait or dishonest attention grabbing tactics, to remain consistent.
And other people see any criticism of the rapidly expanding sphere of things which get categorised as sexual crimes as siding with abusers, rather than a more thoughtful approach.
His mistake was thinking that pedophilia is only harmful when children are forced to do it. Fortunately he changed his mind. But I agree with many of his other opinions like rejecting the term "sexual assault", because it's too vague and can mean almost anything, so more precise terms should be used instead.
People that hate him, criticize him for almost anything. Even for calling someone an "Emacs virgin". And if they can't find anything, they misquote him like they did during the MIT Epstein scandal.
