I did the Google. He apparently used child porn and pedophilia as rhetorical devices in arguments about other topics, which have then of course been taken out of context and weaponizsd by people who hate him.
It’s a good example of why you shouldn’t use certain topics to score debate points and why no one should be live on the internet for multiple hours a day.
It’s just one of those topics you want to avoid unless you’re making a specific point about it, for example how right-wing nutjobs now believe that literally anyone they don’t like is a pedophile.
Yeah I just finished reading it over and watching clips - and while he was very sloppy/arrogant to even try to wade into those waters, he’s definitely not defending child porn or pedophilia. That’s pretty clear. Anything where you have to heavily explain how you’re not _____ is generally a bad idea.
I ran into one of his debates on crypto/NFTs a while back and he wasn’t well-informed enough to adequately defend his own position or attack some of fundamental weaknesses of that ecosystem. Was not impressed.
That’s all well and good. But making a bad argument against crypto (which is surprising because it’s pretty easy to tear down crypto tbh) doesn’t make him a pedophile.

Thanks! Checking this out. But yeah, being online too much can cause a lot of lost perspective
