@garfieldairlines@fedi.garfieldairlines.net "Supporting pedophilia" ok fairNo, it's not fair. Discussions about finding the right balance between autonomy, infantilization and safety should not be taboo.
If you are even suggesting something of the normie accepted social norms when it comes to these topics you are immediately painted as a disgusting freak by some of these people, no matter in which context. It's actually insane.
My stance on this is just that it is very hypocritical for Drew to launch a smear campaign against Stallman in the way that he did, and that he shouldn't be surprised it backfired and people are doing the same to him now. That's all I care about.
It should be noted that, while rms just wrote some spicy opinions on a blog or mailing list that nobody reads, Drew actually helped categorize a popular public repository of drawings that sexualize children (he tagged erotic lolicon material on danbooru for YEARS, in one instance a hardcore image), and had an image search tool running on another such popular public repository (r/pomf) that seems to have contained a ton of arguably realistic drawings of child rape. (I've only taken a glance at the archive of r/pomf and had to close it again so as not to vomit.)
So what I'm saying is: No, he shouldn't get the same treatment as rms. He should be criticized a hundred times harder.
It's not inconceivable that Drew might have even possessed images over the years whose legality is unclear (or ones that are outright illegal) in many modern jurisdictions because there exist laws against "fictional child pornography." He seems safe in NL though.
