Unfortuntely, more than a few free software advocates would rather believe RMS was crucified by a conspiracy of "satanic transgender SJWs" who just wanted to destroy the life of an awkward, neuroatypical man out of cruel spite and kill the free software movement with their fascistic gender equality initiatives and codes of conduct, than accept that his own well-documented and at times legitimately reprehensible views and behavior inevitably became his undoing.

Not entirely surprising that a movement whose mantra is "Stallman was right" might have a problem admitting Stallman did a lot of things wrong.
