That same minor *can* have consensual sex with another minor, so it's obviously *not* his incapacity to consent that is the problem. Saying that a minor can't legally consent is trickery. The word "rape" means to do something sexual without the other persons consent, period. He also is right because words do have meaning. His right to speak his mind is no less valid than what you feel. RMS - whom I do not particularly like - is right. Today though all those woke fanatics want to force us to accept their feelings as somehow relevant and even on the same level as facts - sorry, no, your feelings are *not* equally relevant as facts. Pre 2016 you felt this or that, oh well what would I care? Maybe I did care because I liked you, maybe I didn't because after all it was just your *feeling*. The other core issue is objective facts vs.

And well noted, I'm considered an "ultra conservative" person in your circles. Ones sexual, food, or other personal taste or choice or belief simply was irrelevant. In work we usually only looked at work related factors. "gay" - in the "old times" (pre 2016) I've worked with many gays, BDSMers, and whatnot, but I can only presume that because I didn't care. What you *really mean* is that anyone not largely agreeing with your woke position is somehow evil or at least wrong. I know RMS (in person) and I think that you play games here. I may be biased because here in Russia, the youth use funny stickers with Masha Babko, the child porn star, and the phrases like "PM me CP" is considered funny and are widely used.

That's it? Why is this the topic for discussion, then? And why does it have something with FSF? Am I missing something that prevents me to understand the situation, maybe it's much deeper? Richard also pointed that "sexual assault" term is vague and also could be used improperly. The other person in the mailing list pointed that the law of Virgin Island defines "rape" as every sexual contact with minors, so in this case "rape" is used correctly (by this person words).Ģ.

Richard Stallman pointed out that the word "rape" is improperly used, because sex with minors is not always rape, it could be with consent. I'm confused because Stallman is correct, while almost everybody say he's not, and even write posts such as and yours, mjg59.ġ. I read Vice news article and I'm confused. I've reached the conclusion that it's not that he's unable to understand, he's just unwilling to change his mind. (B) I've spent a lot of time working with him to help him understand why various positions he holds are harmful. I suspect that basically everyone making that argument is similarly unqualified. (A) I am unaware of a formal diagnosis of that, and I am unqualified to make one myself. There will doubtless be people who will leap to his defense with the assertion that he's neurodivergent and all of these cases are consequences of that. We need to take responsibility for saving ourselves. We fix that by removing the need for heroes in the first place, not attempting to find increasingly perfect heroes. Heroes will always end up letting us down.

A decentralised movement about returning freedoms to individuals can't also be about elevating a single individual to near-magical status.

The FSF needs a president, but there's no need for that person to be a leader - instead, we need to foster an environment where any member of the community can feel empowered to speak up about the importance of free software. If the history of social movements has taught us anything, it's that tying a movement to a single individual is a recipe for disaster.
#MASHA BABKO PORN HUB FOR FREE#
It's inappropriate for him to continue as the figurehead for free software.īut I'm not calling for Stallman to be replaced. Stallman is driving away our natural allies. And in a political movement, there is no way that we can ignore the behaviour and beliefs of that movement's leader.
#MASHA BABKO PORN HUB SOFTWARE#
There's an argument that in a pure technical universe this is irrelevant and we should instead only consider what he does in free software, but free software isn't a purely technical topic - the GNU Manifesto is nakedly political, and while free software may result in better technical outcomes it is fundamentally focused on individual freedom and will compromise on technical excellence if otherwise the result would be any compromise on those freedoms. Richard Stallman has once again managed to demonstrate incredible insensitivity.
