   That's NOT what he claimed. Does everyone who parrot this lie lack in basic reading comprehension or are there other motives at play?

   He said that if she was coerced by Epstein, she might have presented herself as willing to Minsky, thereby fooling Minsky into thinking it was consensual when in reality it was not.

     > You should go and read the statements he made

     I did, which is why I know that what most people apparently object to was never said or implied by him.

     I even see people say he's an Epstein apologist. I haven't seen anything to that effect.

     As the father of a 1 year old daughter, this subject is gross beyond belief, and I find pedophiles terrifying. But Stallman's point (stupid and unnecessary as it was) is definitely being twisted and mischaracterized.
