    so that he can feign some position of superiority about not being upset about his very intellectual /s take

    Uhh… I think that says more about you than it does about Stallman.

    at worst, desiring to enable or normalize pedophilia and hebephilia

    That doesn’t follow from what Stallman’s said. I mean unless you just make stuff up. You could say that at worst Stallman is an intergalactic overlord who comes down to planets and drinks babies’ blood while pretending to be a software engineer in order to mock the planetary occupants’ stupidity. I’m sure you make up whatever dark fantasy you wanted and say, given what Stallman has written, he’s at worst that dark fantasy. But just because you say “at worst” Stallman is something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Dark fantasies don’t help here.
