Puberty was considered the adulthood age for mellinia, that is suitable for marriage (and is still considered so in several places).

Why is this a very controversial topic?

Because children can begin puberty super early [1] Because puberty begin on average at 10-12 [2]

The fact that some countries/cultures are okay with child marriage doesn't mean that it's not absolutely disgusting.

It doesn't mean that discussing it must result in a cancellation of a person though.

I agree, which is why it's fortunate that no one is or has suggested "cancelling" anyone for "discussing" things.

The report's author(s) are advocating for removing RMS from positions of influence and authority from the free software community because he's advocating for child sex abuse and bestiality, harasses women, and is a shitty human being.

Pretending that anyone ever has been jettisoned from their position or public life for "discussing" something - or that that's what's happening here - is insanely disingenuous.

> because he's advocating for child sex abuse and bestiality

He isn't. All your other accusations are baseless too.

Why are you lying?
