That was my neighbor’s defense, too. “It wasn’t rape! She was very clearly coming onto me!” about the 14-year old girl he “”“encountered”“” as a college student.
He very absolutely understands what rape is. He just doesn’t want age to be a factor if she’s “into it”. It’s very very very very very clear where he stands: if she consents, it’s not rape, no matter her age!
I wish people would read the published mail thread and not the news articles…he never defended rapists. His quote was quite different. Also, the victim, insofar as her interaction with his old boss, confirmed what happened.

We’re talking about the creator of Emacs. Do you think that guy leaves his house.

No one is accusing him of rape. Just saying his view on the whole thing is sketch as fuck.
…okay.

An actual good take.
Thank you.
sad to see that he thinks like that about rape and the whole Epstein thing :(
