Not sure where to put this, so here we go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8F-XskjlLY

Milo Yiannopoulos is a genius. He’s the George “The Animal” Steele of the right flamethrowers. (Is that a pun?) The prototypical rightwing heel. The pebble in the shoe. The snark. The agitator. Beating them at their own game. Consummate the heel he is. Rebarbative and nasty. With a flair. The great giver and taker. Monumentally offensive. Brilliant. Beyond perfect. He destroys the exponentially vapid attitude-based postured prototypical professional left. But as great as he is, he joins the club of the non-issue shade throwers and smack talkers. That’s it. Great, I’ll admit. Very watchable. But like Billy Maher, no substance. Here’s My Oh Milo in a nutshell: “I’m the conservative most open gay antihero who says what everyone wants to say but can’t out of fear and sensibility. I’m horrible and will outsnark the snark scrums and scrum bags. Love it. To be sure, entertaining but not an argument does it make. It’s fire with fire. The great comeback and zinger. Great. Got it. And by the by, when Larry Wilmore is the voice of the leftie intelligentsia, their cause has been all but abandoned. It’s George Steele in spades. Bravo, Milo. Now that we’ve enjoyed the laugh, let’s get serious. Which is the most entertaining. Those who carry the left banner have all but abandoned what barely existed of a cause. What? Global warming again, transgender bathrooms. Nice try. Milo Yiannopoulos is classic NWA. The heel churning heat. And the arena rats and marks fall for it. Milo drives the baseless left nuts with his return fire right-directed snark. He’s playing them as marks. Today’s spoiled brat social media hashtag activist long abandoned issue substance and has since embraced naked hate. When full-throated defense of Leslie Jones and a suck movie replace addressing the criticality of dire issues, we've as a society lost.

Milo went TOO FAR with the pedo comments now he got disinvited to a Conservative Political Action Conference, his book deal was cancelled and Breitbart might fire him

It's kinda funny how people were shitting on Joe ROgan for that clip, when he actually took Milo to task over all his comments and called him out on his BS better than any of the usual media leftists who build their brand publicly hating Milo.

Also funny how these comments are super old, maybe if these guys listened to the JRE we could have prevented this all from happening in the first place.

Milo is backpedalling like a motherfucker on social media. He claims the videos were edited deceptively and all his followers are claiming FAKE NEWS.

I hope what can come out of this is that it starts some sorta conversation about creating a nice space or better path for gay kids growing up and a better understanding so things like this get snuffed out...

But looking at both sides throw shit out and bring up people who have said similar things this decade or written about it... and then the Milo defenders trying to hammer home the "but why weren't they punished??!!" angle tells me that will not be happening. :mad:

One comment said that the video shouldn't count because the interview was with Joe Rogan who isn't a credible journalist. See, it's all good to promote child molestation as long as you don't do it with any talking news heads.

With the variety of guests that he gets and his interview style that he does... Rogan is probably a top 10 journo in this country right now.

He also does this better than most now.

Milo gets his own thread because it isn't Trump related and merits one anyway.

I agree this should have its own thread but it is Trump related.

It wasn't about free speech, it was about those assholes agreeing with his bullshit

Trump threatened to defund the UC system if they didn't let this defender of pederasty speak at the schools.

So yes, it is Trump related.

That's comical.

He can get his book published still, just not with any reputable publisher.

I watched his appearance on Real Time. I think he's just an attention seeker.
I find it weird how people are shocked Maher didn't eviscerate him on the air. The dude helped introduce Ann Coulter to the rest of the country, and both him and Milo have a somewhat similar appeal in that they can get idiots to applaud like seals for them while they "tell it like it is". The fact they were so cordial was pretty obvious.

I was referring to the actual story as in itself. Trump talks about virtually everyone, we can't dump everything in his thread because he's involved with them.

I think it's worth pointing out that Milo can't win the "free speech" argument here, seeing that 1.) his former boss (Steve Bannon) is actively trying to eliminate freedom of the press, and 2.) most of his words and actions are meant to remove the free speech of those that are already marginalized. Can't have it both ways.

It is amazing that we went from "OH NO! Milo's been normalized" to "Milo's career is ruined!" Thank you internet!
He'll still have his supporters (mostly 4chan/8chan types who embraced him because he played a crucial part in the whole Gamergame fiasco) and he'll still probably get a few guest appearances on TV, so I think it's safe to say his career is mostly ruined.

He's already in discussion with other publishers. This will just help push his narrative of being a victim.

That doesnt really hold up either. Trump went as far as threaten the funding of a major university for this guy. Trump ran a Breitbart campaign. And Trump himself has been accused of ogling (and worse) underage girls.

But you were still right to break it into its own thread.

Leaked email: Milo Yiannopoulos begging liberal Samantha Bee to interview him.
