Aaron is no longer considered as cofounder by reddit. He fought for free speech.

You're gonna have to dumb it down for me as I'm not sure what you mean by this in relation to this discussion.

He is saying that CP is illegal because it's unpopular, not because "it's the right thing to do." So, if CP becomes popular in the future, then it totes will be fine.

Which is a fucking disgusting thing to say in 2023.

I think my explanation was exhaustive, but yes, that's right.. This applies not only to cp, the same "popular" people did not like Aaron, and it would be beneficial for them to have someone criticize Swartz, the usual psychology is to expose a person in a bad light, telling only about his misdeeds, binding some bad events to his/her world views. Some even pay for it.

The point is that — people tend to forget all the good in a person, if he has done thousands of good deeds, one of his choices, which is not accepted or understood in society, reduces them all to nothing.

You can use periods. It makes it easier to grok

Well, of course. You can cure cancer, but if you fuck kids, then people will remember you as the kid fucker. I don't see how that's a problem.

How about the millions of kids you cured of cancer that will live?

If you are a pediatric oncologist (someone curing kids of cancer) then you are in a position to have access to many children. If you are also a pedo, then you are also sexually assaulting a subset of them, which makes the difference between the subset and the whole set of zero importance.

If this is too puzzling for you, Larry Nassar has a lot of time on his hands these days, and might be willing to tell you about how he sees the difference between the underage gymnasts he simply coached in contrast to the smaller subset of underage gymnasts he coached AND sexually assaulted.

I meant scientist which could cure overall, some cancer is incurable currently, only delayable.

no, people will only remember you as a kid fucker if you are poor, rich people just spend money on C&D + PR campaign, and watch how owning slaves and CP is washed out of public consciousness...

Like Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrews?

you can't well do it when you're dead, and the other barely finished in 2022.

how about: Bryan Singer, Nathan Manrow, Dennis Hastert, R. Kelly, Curtis Johnson, Samantha Bouvier, etc...

and the best part? I just tossed in a few names that you don't really know, and some of these are in the 40+different children numbers.

I don't think you get my point.

Yes that's what I why I asked you to state more simply for me.

They said that they don't. That's why they want you to explain it better.
