As I understood it from a previous message, during his clean-up work, the maintainer found a quote where beating women is encouraged. What did he do then? He left it in the package! It doesn't matter what session he moved it to. It's not only package users who might be offended by such content being promoted in our infrastructure. I'm surprised that such an obvious issue is being overlooked by some here. Debian will not only lose one user of the offending package as already inaccurately argued in this thread, but contributors and developers who simply won't have the motivation to give their time to a project that allows and promote such nonsense. The fact that we are wasting so much time discussing offending packages that nobody uses (as stated by the maintainer somewhere in this long thread) also feels a bit surreal.
