Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoBecause they’re different things?
He says people are bigoted if they’re against people fucking children. That’s him saying having sex with children is a good thing.
Saying prohibition of alcohol is bad is different from saying alcohol is good.
Agreed. However if you said “I think it’s unfortunate alcohol is banned. If you are against consuming alcohol then you are a bigot.” Then that instead points to you believing alcohol is good.
That’s not equating alcohol and pedos
Yes it is.
Its an explanation of why I think he might have had an opinion
No it fucking isn’t. Having mild autism is not an explanation for thinking pinning down a four year old and giving them some dick is a good thing.
He believes that because he’s a sick fuck who believes in paedophilia. Not because of autism. Autism doesn’t make you like that at all.
The defense is that he admitted he was wrong and apologized
Yep, I’ve already covered this. He did a complete 180 2 days after it became apparent his job was on the line. It wasn’t genuine remorse, it was a last-ditch effort to save his own skin.
What? There are plenty of autistic people that have a wide variety of beliefs
Being autistic doesn’t cause you to believe raping kids is a good thing. Stop pretending it does. You must really hate autistic people if you’re willing to paint them with that brush.
No I didn’t, stop lying about me. Analogy is not equating, I have no clue why this has to be explained.
Yes you did.
Having a glass of wine is not like fucking a four year old. Stop.
He did not say its good, and he does now think the same as he said.
Yes he did. And his opinion has not changed.
I am tempted to think you’re trolling seeing as you’re ignoring what I actually wrote and instead just going for cheap attacks. Please stop engaging in bad faith.
I hope you’re trolling, because if not you’re a fucking psychopath who denies genocide and thinks keeping a toddler as a sex slave is morally equivelant to having a Heineken, and that both should be equally legal.
Please for the love of god be a troll.

Here’s an analogy there is no way you can lie about(though you’ll probably find a way): Saying someone is bigoted if they make fun of arachnophobia is not the same thing as saying arachnophobia is good. And I’m not equating arachnophobia to pedos. Opposing opposition to X is not the same thing as supporting X, its possible to be neutral on X. I’m not neutral on pedos, I think pedos are bad and gross. I think it is wrong to be neutral on pedos, but it is factually inaccurate to say that being “neutral on X” == “X is a good thing”.
Thank you!!! This makes me so happy genuinely!!! You responded to what I actually said!! So you did get it! So why do you keep lying about it?
Anyways, my excitement aside, you’re fine to think that. But I do disagree that that’s the analogy of what you’re saying Stallman said, instead it would be closer to "I think it’s unfortunate alcohol is banned. If you are against letting people consuming alcohol then you are a bigot.”
Which is not necessarily pro-alchohol. Another example, imagine a government that banned a religion, say Buddhism, you could say "I think it’s unfortunate Buddhism is banned. If you are against letting people practice Buddhism then you are a bigot.”- that statement is not necessarily pro-Buddhist, its just anti-prohibition of Buddhism.
Awww my excitement is gone
It literally is an explanation. You’re free to think the explanation is wrong and bad, but its still an explanation.
I didn’t say it was because of autism. I said its because he failed to empathize with victims, yk a symptom of “autism”.
He’s still fired from MIT so why doesn’t he backtrack if he still believes it?
Never said it does, stop lying about me.
My pain is immeasurable. Please quote where I said those exact words.
Why’d he stop saying it then?
Genuinely why are you still responding if you honestly believe that’s what I said? Just to insult me?
I don’t hide behind a pseudonym to be toxic to people on the internet.

Why do you keep lying about this? He repeatedly defended raping children.
He thinks raping children should be legal.
He thinks anybody against raping children is bigoted.
He thinks raping children is good.
Stop equating drinking alcohol to raping a child. They aren’t comparable.
I’m being toxic? Mate you’re being an apologist for genocide and child rape. I’m not the toxic one here.
aidan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m not, you are the one lying about what I said.
Yep, and that was very bad, and I never denied that. I denied that he said it was good.

He never said that
I didn’t.
You’re intentionally lying about what I said as an excuse to insult me rather than actually respond to what I said.
No I’m not
