    Listen, you can say this isn't defending pedophilia if you want, but coming into that thread and dropping this turd is sure going to make people think that's what you're doing. Don't act like there's no basis in fact and don't accuse me of lying

      I guess I'm misunderstanding something, but isn't he saying he hasn't read through the thread at that point? Afterwards he agrees that the other guy is sus and disgusting wrt CSAM

        I think you're underselling that this is an insanely bad take, especially when it's the first thing you contribute to the argument!

        After actually reading the thread, he switches to admitting that the mod had been repeatedly warned about misogyny and transphobia, but denies that the mod was defending CSAM (just a bad take about AI)

        And repeatedly accuses the person who brought up the mod's behavior of being the one causing the issue

        This is debatebroing, yes, but debatebroing in the service of defending their mods defense of CSAM. Absolutely disgusting in my view, particularly in the context of the thread. It sounds like you have a much more generous reading of his comments than mine, which is fine, but don't say I'm making shit up.

          Yeah I guess we just have different readings of the situation. Seems to me like he's just very particular about when someone is defending pedophilia, got called a pedophile and got defensive. But I can see how one could interpret it differently, because it is an odd hill to die on.
          Thanks for taking the time to explain your viewpoint to me
