The post was deleted, but I was able to access it exploiting the fact that the deletion didn't federate with another instance. Should I repost it here? Serious question, it's yucky but without the content of the post it's really hard to say something about it.
Yeah. His opinions about software freedom are fairly solid, but when it comes to children and sexuality, he'd do everyone a favour if he simply shut up.
In his defence, though, I don't think that he's a paedophile; I think that he's just trying to extend his views about individual freedom into sexuality, but he's too socially clueless to get it right. And then the whole thing blew out of proportion because of both witch hunters and people exploiting it for political opposition.
Dude the mental gymnastics this guy tries to put you through to try and justify trying to make leftists okay with him wanting to fuck 15 year olds is insane. And you can tell he thinks he’s WAY smarter than he actually is.
Yup. The whole thing is a fallacious slop: fallacy of the beard, straw man, begging the question, so goes on. And as a result, he's defending something that is morally insane.
Those two are not the same:
a 20yo has sex with a 17yo; no payment is involved
a 42yo has sex with a 17yo; the 17yo is an escort
and yet he's trying to make both look like the same.
He’s also trying to posit the idea that the left is losing elections because they won’t embrace pedophilia and that is alienating male voters. Which is an insane take.
