Didn't the article cited debunk that? Citation needed for that claim.
He's very rigid and particular about language. He doesn't like the legal connection between age-of-consent and rape. He sees rape as this thing which MUST be forced, and MUST be violent. If it isn't both of those, it's not rape. He wants a different word for it, and a different charge. He can be very crude and inarticulate, but that opinion isn't invalid.
I did meet him in person back in the day and we had dinner. I'm a lot younger than him still and was just breaking into programming back then. He treated most "less experienced" people on the table like shit including myself and the evening ended with me calling him out on various things and turning him into a joke where even the people who invited him couldn't help giggling (I used to work behind a bar as a kid and am pretty good at reducing somebody to rubble with humor if needed. so in a way I did to him what he did to others and he absolutely hated it.)
Yeah, bullying someone is a really smart way to show you are more mature. Of course...

That does not make you better. If any, it makes you worse. He may be doing that unintentionally. You bullied him on purpose.
