Stallman can be abrasive at times, but in the end, he's rarely wrong. He's passionate, and the world is a better place because of him
Passionate about having sex with children.
I can't defend his stance on CSAM/statutory rape and I'm sure as hell not going to try. I can ignore his quirky shit. Not this.
He's made some amazing contributions to the world of computing though, both in code and community.
It leaves my view on the man quite polarised.
He doesn't have any controversial "stance" anymore, he has many times taken back the things he said and he has apologised often.
Here's some article I found mentioning this (also check comments): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/09/richard-stallman-leaves-mit-after-controversial-remarks-on-rape/
You mean his comments taken out of context for a media hitpiece by an organization ideologically opposed to the free software movement?
