Hell, even FSF Europe took their distance from the whole situation:
Stallman is one of the leading figures for the free and open source community and one of the most prolific people with autism. GNU and FSF wouldn’t exist without him. He has done an amazing work for decades and keep delivering to make a better world for all of us.
The man has to deal with his disability every day as Media stand on the ready to pounce at any potential controversy they can spin around his character. This time around, they took a huge dump on his career by using his statement out of context to ride the Epstein wave and make money.
Now that he’s trying to get his career back, Red Hat decides to virtue signal in order to protect their assets.
This is not nice to see at all.
What was the context that was left out?
he’s questioning semantics.
but the sensitivity and taboo of the topic clearly makes it inappropriate and easy to take out of context, and understandably would have people up in arms, if it came from someone else. but i mean, we’re talking about someone who historically doesn’t know how to approach these topics due to his neuro-atypical tendencies.
