For context, please also link to what his current thoughts are, where he's since changed his mind after being convinced he was wrong.

Good point, thanks.

I'll also add some more context: These current thoughts on pedophilia were posted two days after the "Remove Richard Stallman" Medium post went up.

Are you talking about the post that intentionally misquoted him?

I would appreciate if you presented your arguments up front instead of sneaking them inside a loaded question. This is as impossible to answer as "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

Not really considering the OP post talks about it, but for more context:

Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong in his statements. He was skeptical that it’s always forced and not the arbitrary “minors” choice - okay?

This was over a decade ago (first link), and appear to be musings on the issue. It doesn’t necessarily say (as you claim) - “I support this”
