It's possible for a person to be an absolute stupid asshole about one topic (children's well being) but right about other things (software).

Should have just stayed in his lane. I admired this dude but those words are, kinda, punchable offense. TF with "voluntary" in there?!?

It means he thinks kids can "want it" and if a kid "wants it" it's ok. It's unfortunately a common view among the progressive left, most apparent with Sartre and that "philosopher" crew. It's disgusting of course.
