They're attacking you for two reasons:
1) To save money: To prevent another multi-million dollar settlement (FSF vs Cisco). With you gone it wont happen. They also don't want to have to "pay off" the FSF by contributing donations either (which would increase your ability to hire lawyers and sue violators (even when the outcome of the action is difficult to predict (thus no contingency))).
2) Cultural reasons: the rest of the "they" believe that you like young girls: In your heart. And they oppose any man liking girls. That is: they believe you have thoughts and they oppose any man having such thoughts. Men are mules that must work for, fight, and give their life for women, their country, etc. Not live for themselves. Not have happiness. Only toil and responsibility.
You noted once that your life has been incredibly sad.
Being denied the purest love would fit the bill.
They hate you for what they think you believe in your mind. What they believe that they have deduced from your previous wrightings. They hate you for your thoughts they ascribe to you. For having those thoughts. For being capable of having those thoughts.
We've been defending you in the various programmer and anime forums, including your previous statements. For years, and now aswell. The namecalling is going every which way and both sides hate eachother:
On one side there are the old hackers, the men, and the anime-lovers, the NEETs. The beloved language is C.
On the other side are the wage-workers, and the Rust programming language (C++ ... plus plus... basically: and it takes just as much memory to compile as C++ code).
The fight is as hot as molten lead: and there is real true hatread.
One underlying notion is that those on the side of C, and who are defending you, also like cute young girls: and those who love Rust and hate you want any idea of such stricken from the earth.
The other side bans us and deletes our words in every area they can. They attempt to fire us (sorry: we don't have programmer jobs: we are hackers and NEETs: we code for pleasure: not danegeld) We wonder what happens when words cannot be spoken?
Bascially it's libertarians vs "correctly-thinking" americans. C vs Rust.
Neets vs Wage-workers.
Hackers vs Corps (but I repeat myself).
We wanted a world where we had freedom. To have the freedoms that men of the ancient times had. And we, who defend you, agree with the statements you recanted under pressure.
(For the record: one of the projects I contribute to (fully free-software) is ChaosEsque:Anthology (3d FPS with over 200 weapons, and procedural generation of cities with building interiors), and we've added a statement of support to our project page on moddb in support of you and your rights, we also battle in the forums, we have also been signed to the support letter)

[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]I appreciate your moral support.
Would you like to support me in a practical way?You could post for me in public forums where people
are arguing about this. Especially the ones where my supporters
are NOT the majority. Stay calm, and avoid name-calling!Here are references useful to publicize:

(It is actually on GitHub, but that codeberg page signs without running
GitHub's nonfree Javascript code, so my conscience feels better about
suggesting you sign it.)* About me.
The accusations against me are mainly false -- based on misunderstandings,
exaggerations and distortions. Plus a few minor things.https://blog.dachary.org/2020/02/10/how-the-cancel-culture-was-leveraged-against-rms/

libertarians
https://www.stallman.org/glossary.html
Antisocialists: people who advocate a laissez-faire, laissez-mourir state which refuses to help non-rich people, such as by providing medical care or education, or protect them by regulating how businesses treat them. Antisocialists call such programs "socialism". Those people secondarily defend human rights, such as freedom of speech, and they like to call themselves "libertarians". However, polling them shows that a laissez-faire, laissez-mourir economy is their highest priority, and human rights come second for them. In effect, they try to use our support for human rights to manipulate us into advocating the laissez-mourir economy, by presenting that as a part of human rights. Using the term "libertarian" for them emphasizes the secondary aspect of their views and paints them as champions of liberty. I choose to emphasize their primary focus by calling them "antisocialists." Let's all call them that. The state's mission is enabling everyone to have a just, free and decent life, which includes both social programs and defense of human rights.

Supporting Stallman against a campaign of hatred
hey, faggot! buy yourself an inflatable stallman doll already
And so if we're picking sides
I guess that I am
For every shitty, three-chord, high school punk band
So if we're picking sides
I guess that I hate the policeman
And the white man tonight
But who needs love? Not me!
Who needs friends? I got me!
Who needs beer? Me!
Who needs sex? I got me!
