      Accusing people like Stallman of being rapists dilutes the meaning of the word.

      Is he creepy? Sure. Does he have rather unpopular opinions on what constitutes pedophilia? Yep. Does he go around forcing people to have sex with him? No.

        Just like you used the phrase, "unpopular opinions on what constitutes pedophilia" instead of saying he thinks or is ok with pedophilia. I used the word rapist. Sure the definition might change based on which dictionary you're looking at but for me if you are repeatedly making sexual advances which are making the other person feel unsafe or uncomfortable then you are a rapist.
