Wikimedia and the Erik Moller Dilemma
May 8th, 2008 | by Mike G |Over at Cyde Weys Musings, Cyde draws attention to Erik Moller’s unusual views on pedophilia. Here are some of the ideas held by Mr. Moller, the second in command over at Wikimedia:
- Valleywag quotes Erik as saying “What is my position on pedophilia, then? It’s really simple. If the child doesn’t want it, is neutral or ambiguous, it’s inappropriate.”
- Erik’s rather interesting essays on the subject.
- Erik created the Wikipedia article on Child sexuality in 2003.
- He inserted the following text into the article on Human sexual behavior:
It is generally acknowledged that children are capable of feeling sexual pleasure, even if they are not yet able to engage in sexual intercourse with each other, and/or are not yet biologically able to reproduce.
- In the article on Homosexuality and morality, he writes:
“A small minority believes that children are capable of consenting to homosexual acts with older men, but all major pro-homosexual groups have rejected that view.”
Cyde concludes by stating his belief that Erik is not a pedophile himself, but these reckless and poorly researched articles must be retracted and denounced. "Erik needs to get apologetic or he needs to get out, and if he does not make that decision soon, it needs to be made for him."
