Milo Yiannopoulos, Frequent Defender of Pedophilia

oh, and this is ESPECIALLY rich:



Translation: "I think I agree with the age of consent...except, you know, when the boy seems like way mature for his age."

THIS IS A TEXTBOOK EXCUSE.

And really fuck off with the implication that because it allegedly happens more often in the "gay world' that it's somehow ok.

Every word out of his mouth makes my skin crawl. He literally embodies every negative and hateful stereotype that people have perpetuated about gay men for decades.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
As a abuse victim I feel sick reading this, normalizing abuse of children is so so fucked up. As a bi guy I hate we have a person like this that is associated with the LGBT+.

If its any consolation just know that this guy sold his soul for a bit of money and the right to be called "a good f@%" by the sort of people that follow him. "yeah he's a f, but he's a good f".

Holy shit I've never listened to this piece of shit before but, damn its so fucking creepy that he is so well spoken and stoic that its kind of like a fucking super-villain. Its like whenever he speaks he's trying to brainwash dumb people who are afraid of saying what he thinks. I honestly think this shitbag isn't capable of being a decent human being. It's disgusting. He's just a fucking disgusting guy. I think this guy is exponentially worse than Trump. Holy shit.

Where do you get the well spoken part? Because he has a British accent? Watch the Bill Maher interview; he doesn't know how to hold a conversation or put forth an argument without coming off as inflammatory. He's an immature, attention-whoring troll!

I hate myself for even posting in this thread, haha. If people stop giving him attention he will just go away like American Dad.


edit: Holy shit, American Dad had 14 seasons!?!?!? We are doomed.

So, Yiannopoulos is finally defeated by letting people hear the dumb shit he says. Not quite the victory for "no platform" hardliners, such as the antifa rioters, were asking for, but I can't see why they would complain.

Yep. Letting him speak is the best way to beat him, and others like him.

This stuff is old and known though. This is an idea he courted since 8chan was the GG frontline (for obvious reasons). The issue now is that he is becoming more and more mainstream and people need to introduced to this fuckery in full.

I don't know if it will beat him. I do know that in a just world it should.

Fuck this piece of shit.

I hate the public trials and moralizing a lot, cuz people are messy, but this motherfucker will publicly destroy Trans students looking for rights but not powerful pedophiles within a world he claims to despise?

At best he is lying about seeing pedophiles for attention. I hope this destroys him.

He was abused and now is spreading bullshit instead of fighting, speaking against sexual abuse.

He is a self hating monster,im starting to feel little pity for him.

Note, none of that matters.

He is getting hit on his speech in other platforms available to him.

Free speech does not mean freedom to use all platforms.

So a sadist who is willing to watch the world burn and for the lulz, and out and shame and attack people everywhere because of his sad, sociopathic and nihilistic view of the world, turned out to be a child rape advocate.

Protip to the world: don't listen to sociopaths.

I'm a huge sucker for tragic villains in fiction. I really don't like villains who are evil for the sake of evil. But the thing is...a villain is still a villain. No matter what happened in the past. A shitty douche, is a shitty douche. To quote the great Thomas Harris via Red Dragon (Without the shooting part. Milo shouldn't be shot, not even remotely): ”As a child, my heart bleeds for him. Someone took a little boy and turned him into a monster. But as an adult... as an adult, I think someone should blow the sick fuck out of his socks."

Is this true? Are people just THAT bad at using the internet? I have begged for dirt in this guy several times here in GAF.

I had only heard his stuff from Joe Rogan's podcast. Perhaps his Britishness payed a part in it, but the way he was talking to Rogan you would assume he was a normal guy who is somewhat good at being asked questions. Taking into account what he was saying is a completely different story.

No, letting him speak was not enough. It took someone taking him to task for his words to actually expose him.

Free speech is important as a general principle: now let's talk about some specifics, because in the real world not everything is a black and white dichotomy. Sometimes there are edge cases to general principles, and right now we are by all accounts at the very least at the precipice, if not already hurtled past it.

What exactly is it so terrible to ask that these hateful views are not presented without competent opposition at an institution for higher learning? Yes, exposing people to bullshit in a controlled environment so they can be inoculated against it and develop the tools to identify bullshit out in the wild is important. But the important part is the part where people develop the skills to recognize and counteract bullshit, not the part where you just shovel a bunch of bullshit in front of students. That seems antithetical to learning.

I keep hearing how important it is for people's beliefs to be challenged, but it seems to me more like what's happening is people want hateful bullshit to be propped up onto even footing with actually well-justified ideas without having to actually do any work to compose a coherent argument... because that work would require them to have to challenge their beliefs to work them into any sort of form that could be construed and supported in a logical fashion.
 
Lol how is this his fucking defense

10. In case there is any lingering doubt, here's me, in the same interview the other footage is taken from, affirming that the current legal age of consent is about right: "And I think the law is probably about right. It's probably roughly the right age. I think it's probably about ok. But there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who were sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way."

Sad thing is, that tells me he blames himself for what happened to him as a kid and not the man.

That he is trying to normalize the behavior of the man openely and perhaps influence other kids to let it happen makes him a monster. There is no debate on that.

No. That's bullshit.Milo isn't being undone because of shitty Bill Maher(who got played like a chump on his own show.) but because someone got digging and got lucky. Without these tapes, milo would still be sitting pretty and you know it.

Fingers crossed this'll stick to him like glue and hurt his perception. This shit should be on blast so that everyone knows.

Even if it did, sadly he has an army of people who probably have no problem with it.

Let's at least wait until CPAC cancels him before claiming a full victory here.

I guess I shouldn't be too optimistic. Yiannopoulus's is very slippery and seductive in his amoral exhibitionism.

However, I'm thinking this is a step too far. With what I saw in a Joe Rogan interview awhile ago, his fond remembrance of his experiences with grown men as a young teen was gross in an outrageous, shocking way that can be spun as comedic, but he's at NAMBLA levels of taboo when he begins to talk about the reversed, predatory perspective. Good luck seducing and charming your way out of that.

I don't think he'll be made irrelevant overnight or inside smaller circles, but he's probably forever tarnished and his potential for growth, which I think was quite expansive, cut short after last week's moderately successful Real Time appearance.

This would make more sense if these were comments made in secrecy. Rather, these are just some of the worst bits of his public fucked up views, which a great deal of passive listeners weren't paying attention to, because there was so much noise (literal riots) surrounding his role as a free speech martyr.

God, that line is gonna play well with all the people who think gays are pedophiles.
That's why he mentions it sadly. He entirely cashes in on being "the good one" who tells alt-right types that they're fears are real and no they are not cowardly bigots. His paycheck depends on it.

Which is why he's so damaging. Which is why "just allowing him to speak" is so damaging.

Since he's gay, bigots and idiots will point to him and go, "see, he's a queer and he says it, I knew it".

He and his ilk are poison, a blight on the gay community and they honestly make me personally ashamed whenever they speak.

He needs to be silenced.

Oh, I didn't notice that. Kinda explains some things. That actually is sad.

Doesn't excuse his behavior, but it does help explain it.
 
Is anyone really surprised about yet another case of massive projection from the alt-right?

I mean look at Milo's fanbase, Its the people who go batshit insane when North America localization companies censors the sexualization of underage girls in their precious anime games.

However Milo is basically a 100% shock jock like Ann Coulter, so I doubt he's a legitimate pedophile. Mike Cernovich and most of the other alt-right flagbearers definitely are though.
 
Here's his full "explanation":

Sad thing is, that tells me he blames himself for what happened to him as a kid and not the man.

If he also grew up in a household that ignore him, or even encourage his abuse, when that stuff happened, it would make sense. Going into a personal story here, but I never fully recovered my trauma fully and I was(still am?) at a cross-road when it comes to what happened to me. Being kidnapped, raped, and forced into being a sex slave for two months at the age of 7 really damaged me, and my mother never addressed it and tried to shelter me from the outside world instead.

Internally... I sometimes feel like I was to blame for what happened, I feel like I enjoyed it. And when I was growing up, I entered the same mindset Milo had, self hating and even defending the men and women who did that stuff to me. I wonder what changed my mindset, but eventually I began to fear becoming the same monsters that my abusers were and I think it's that fear that led me away from the path Milo has taken.

If he is a victim, I can understand where he's coming from, especially if he never gotten help. I feel pity for him in this case, he grew up trying to rationalize what has happened to him and believe that it was a good experience in the end, that it helped him discover who he is. Even so though, I will not forgive him for the monster he has become. While I pity his abuse, him advocating for others to continue it in other children has turn him into the very monsters that harmed him.

Dude is in hardcore damage control mode on Facebook right now. Can tell he's scrambling.

He included his doxxing and misgendering of Sarah in his "victories"

...

Yeah I saw that. I don't know shit about that story but he named her Sarah Nyberg in the article but then goes and calls her "Nick" on Facebook today as he claims the victory. What a petty dipshit. Just gotta get one more parting shot in on the way out?
 
I thankfully have not been exposed to him very much, but in the little bit that I know he doesn't deserve coverage no matter how outrageous he is because that's just what he wants - attention. Just ignore him.

Or feed the troll.

You do what you want.

Actually, ironically it might have been helpful that Milo was featured on Bill Maher just this once, but for all the wrong reasons: if people didn't rally to his defense so readily and steadfastedly it would have been quite a bit easier for them to say that he was never a part of the alt-right as it has been tried in the past - well, now people have to go a bit further and revoke his status as registered keynote conservative icon. We also wouldn't have this awkward situation where the free speech absolutist framing is no longer valid, because by making the value judgment that it's unacceptable to publicly "debate" age of consent laws without opposition it has been conceded that it is indeed possible to make value judgments on whether speech can be harmful enough to the extent that it is necessary that a competent opposition is provided to demonstrate the contextual weakness of the argument in question... and that the value judgment was made that arguments against the humanity of minorities were therefore not harmful enough.

Now we have our evidence though, so let's not do this again.

The only reason this is coming to light is because people didn't ignore him.
 
No, seriously. Should we be debating the merits of child predation with people who are against age of consent laws?

"Oh, Adder, that's not the same!"

The fuck it isn't! The only difference is that none of you "let's fight atrocities with rational arguments" people have the fucking stones to step up and say a word in its defense. Because children are universally unacceptable targets. Transgender folks, minorities, immigrants? "Oh, well you're ALLOWED to threaten them in the name of a good debate!"

oh look at that


My mans took an L in that thread, but yall that was going at him looking real stupid right now.

Should be quoted at every person - speaking more about conservative journalists and political advocates than at members of GAF - who defended Milo then but suddenly has cold feet now.
