     @firebreathingduck @csolisr Most of it is stuff he's written in his own words. It is not "fake".

     Yeah. But even if every single accusation of sexual misconduct against Stallman is fake, his personal website *still* has defense of sex between adults and people aged 14. 🤮

     https://stallman.org/archives/2017-jul-oct.html#21_October_2017_(Sex_offender's_list)
     (among many other such statements)

     The fact that he has so many defenders left is depressing.

     @skinnylatte omg the very first entry is someone I have a history with (he was creeping out multiple friends of mine before ever becoming “famous”)

     @jornane @skinnylatte disappointed, but not entirely surprised to see Louis Rossman on here though. I read the first half and thought "hm, maybe this is unintentional bigotry, I hope he can learn and grow" and then I got to 3 years of KF posts, and uh, I guess he's cooked

     @jornane @skinnylatte fundamentally this is just one guy's list, so ultimately that's the reason. but if I were to defend the choice I'd probably say Linus has problematic aspects to his character but he's not doing roman salutes during his keynotes or obsessively trying to valorize the harassment of women.

     @glyph
     i can't remember exactly when it started but some time in the last decade i was watching one of his videos and just got hit with a feeling of "ugh, i'm gonna wake up one day and find out this guy is a fascist." every once in a while i'd check in to see if we were there yet. guess we have been for a while?

     @mancube @glyph @jornane @skinnylatte He's tried to scrub this, but he hosted Moldbug (old school Stormfront-class neo-nazi) on his show.
