Milo Yiannopoulos resigns from Breitbart amid child sex storm

[rpfocus]

From http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/21/media/milo-yiannopoulos-downfall/index.html

"Milo Yiannopoulos finally went too far. The professional provocateur has resigned as an editor at Breitbart News amid a firestorm over unearthed comments in which he seemed to endorse sex between "younger boys and older men." The news was first reported by the New York Times on Tuesday afternoon, minutes before Yiannopoulos was scheduled to give a press conference in Manhattan.

"It would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues' important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effectively immediately. This decision is mine alone," Yiannopoulos said in a statement."

I'm sure it comes as no shock to anyone here that the MSM are completely misrepresenting what Milo said. Both videos have been online for over a year without a problem until now.

Dunno, I heard Milo used to eat at comet pizza all the time.

[undergroundrr]

Yeah, I buy that there's some out-of-context nonsense going on. But I'm sure at the time he didn't have any idea that he'd someday be a potential influential member of the political class. For better or worse, 4chan humor isn't going to get anybody a respectable job in the near future.

But I have to say I thought he was tougher than this. He seems to be just caving. And his followers aren't the type of people to back him up, especially after these fairly soft mea culpas. They'll just go on to the next thing.

I picture Axl Rose-style where-are-they-now sidebars in his future.

I'm seeing libertarians-gone-altright on facebook who attacked several libertarians of varying popularity (including Ian Freeman) for putting out ideas about age of consent, calling them 'degenerate,' 'filth,' etc, defending Milo on the same issue.

[phill4paul]

I. Don't. Care. He really receives too much mention on these forums.

Milo said 18 years old is about right for age of consent, although it is 16 in Britain and he probably has no issue with that either.

The media is trying to make it look like he was endorsing older adult males having sex wtih 13 year old boys, and that was not the case.

Milo understands that it is a difficult, complicated topic and there are no clear cut guidelines or answers, but there is also some egregious cases that are clearly wrong.

[dannno]

I. Don't. Care. He really receives too much mention on these forums.

No he doesn't. Milo was doing a fantastic job touring campuses, teaching people on both the left and right about the lies of these new waves of feminism and leftism that are destroying society. That is one of the most important things, if not THE most important thing that needs to happen right now in order to save our society, and there was NOBODY better suited to do it.

The age of consent and what constitutes pedophilia are two completely distinct concepts.

There are very few places where the age of consent is 14, but being sexually attracted to a 14 year old is objectively not pedophilia.

I'll take your word for it. I watched quite a few media appearances through Youtube and he only seemed to come up solid about half the time. I thought the Bill Maher appearance was pretty good, but he really wasn't ready to back up the claim of disproportionate transgender sex crimes. It seems like he has just gotten to the point that he thinks as long as what he says is provocative, that's enough.

I agree that calling out PC is valuable. And there's nothing wrong with being flawed and making a mistake. He just should never have tried to buddy up to actual politicians after his past schtick. That gets you fruit ninja'd.

The PewDiePie thing is identical. Those two both lost a lot of money and clout this week, not because they did something bad in the past, but because their delusions of grandeur fooled them into thinking they could join the establishment and bankroll accordingly.

That is absolutely true, the establishment entertainment media HATES pewdiepie, some random guy on the internet getting more views than all the mainstream news networks combined lol.. and all he does is play video games and talk about random stuff.. They set him up and were just waiting to pull the rug out from under him, I'm sure..

Milo was a rising star in the political world as well, and definitely an enemy of the leftist establishment.

So much this ^

I know what the author is trying to say, but "child sex storm" is not a good phrase.

Also, I'm amazed that he resigned... or, rather, that Breitbart is apparently not willing to back him. Are they trying to go more mainstream or... what? Even before his apology/correction, I didn't think this was that big of a deal. Yeah, sure, CPAC uninvites him, that makes sense - they have to appear to all flavors of conservative including some who hated him to start with, and it gave them a good excuse to kick him out. Maybe some of the more religious / anti-gay groups threatened to boycott or whatever. But Breitbart? I'm not understanding why they would dump him.

Well Milo said it was his decision only, and that he wished in resigning to protect the work done by other Breitbart contributors.
However, I am from this other planet where I assume the things people write and say are indicators of what they want to communicate. I recognize virtually nobody else on Earth thinks that way, though.

[dannno]

If that is the truth then we are well and truly fucked. :rolleyes:

Feminism teaches girls that waiting until they are in their 30s to get married, if at all, and fucking around in the bedroom in their 20s and focusing on their career is liberating - Milo tells girls the truth, this will likely lead to unhappiness, and that they should get married to a good stable man and have kids when they are young and attractive -- What is sooo horrible about that?? Reminding leftists that the data doesn't support the notion that women get paid less than men for equal work is bad? Telling women that they should eat healthy and try to look relatively attractive so they can find a good husband rather than listening to feminism which teaches them that it is ok to be fat and unhealthy and some how this will make them happy?? Damn lies.

C'mon man, you know these are huge problems, Milo was the only one in the room who was able to address them because when it comes from a typical conservative it is completely shunned and ignored.. when it comes from Milo at least some of them show up and listen.

[TheCount]

Well Milo said it was his decision only...I don't believe that. I believe that he was not forced to resign, but the fact that he had the impression that the controversy could harm Breitbart or other writers on that site... I don't think that's coming from Milo.

To me, learning that a writer on Breitbart maybe said some arguably questionable things - and clarified them later - does not create a major issue. It's a media outlet that was born in fringe views and thrives on controversy to this day. They hired Milo to be controversial. That's essentially his job description... plus being their token gay. Because I do not think that this "controversy" would affect Breitbart right now, it leads me to believe that the actual conflict is with future plans for Breitbart, and therefore pressure was put on Milo by company leadership. Someone sees an opportunity for Breitbart to grow to a much larger media share, and apparently doesn't want to take even the slightest risk of offending any potential customer/viewer.

[Feeding the Abscess]

The videos that contain the remarks Milo made. Didn't feel like searching for videos without editorializing in the titles; I'll editorialize myself a bit and say Milo is describing pederasty rather than pedophilia:

#FakeNews

Saw a segment about this on CNN with Erin Burnett today. They have no shame. The mainstream media is dedicated to only one thing, damaging and destroying Trump and essentially anyone but the globalist left.

They played the most controversial audio from Milo, which he had disavowed, then tried to pin that and everything else ever said by Milo on the American Conservative Union and CPAC. They concluded by connecting Milo to Breitbart to Brannon, with an innuendo-filled statement that Brannon now runs the Whitehouse. The impartial media.

Interesting. I have never listened to Milo, so I know very little of what he has said. Exposing the lie told to two generations of Americans is worthwhile. Attractive or not, telling everyone, especially women, to wait until they are in their 30s to think about marriage and children served the same purpose as birth-control and abortion. They wanted less people.

What he said is not a problem for you?

[eleganz]

Its extremely pathetic that child abuse victims in this country can't speak openly and honestly about their experiences and opinions.

Shame on anybody for thinking this is making any progress at all.

Political hit job is obvious. Evan McMullin is part of it, look it up.

[dannno]

What he said is not a problem for you?

Well I can understand how people who might be against promiscuity might have a problem with what he said, the real issue is that the media is lying and saying that he thinks pedophilia is ok.. He clarified that when he meant younger boys, we are talking mid to late teens or older, and he thinks that the age of consent in most places, 16 or 18, is about right. But even then, it's still a complicated issue.. 15 and 20 vs. 15 and 40 is clearly not the same thing.

[dannno]

Its extremely pathetic that child abuse victims in this country can't speak openly and honestly about their experiences and opinions.

Ya it's sorta interesting, Milo is not into younger boys, he is into older men. I have a gay friend who is into older men (he is now 50 and still dates older men..) and he has told me the same thing.. when he was 14 or 15, he was the sexual predator, out trying to get older men.. That is exactly what Milo said on the Rogan podcast.

[fr33]

It was certainly controversial but no more than the other topics he talks about. It's so weird because that podcast seems like such a long time ago. I remember listening to it.

He can't speak openly just because CPAC decided to dis-invite him to the conference? or that his publisher a private firm decided they no longer wanted to associate with him? what happened to freedom of association? As for breitbart, he quit the gig because he wrongfully believed that his association would impede whatever it is they are doing over there.

And there is a little progress here, a private company did what they wanted to do regardless of the victim status of the target. I hate to live in a world where private companies are afraid to act because the target has a child sexual abuse card up their butt. Ignore your personal bias and see that what just happened is a small win for freedom.

[UWDude]

But I have to say I thought he was tougher than this. He seems to be just caving.

Me too. then I realized....

...this is gonna backfire big time on the dems. I see it clearly now. I will not even say how. But lets just say now both black people and homosexual men will not be as reliable in 2018 and 2020 for the democrats.

Yea, you know the same way dems attacking Clarence Thomas totally took the black vote away from them. Do you really think gay people and blacks will rally for Milo because he is gay and supposedly has a black lover? This is not how it works, identity politics has its limits and people like Milo are far beyond that limit.

Keep dreaming if you think what is unfolding would hurt the dems with those two demographics.

Uh no, he can't speak openly (in the Rogan podcast) without being destroyed and accused of defending pedophilia.


How about you ignore your personal bias for a second and see that an actual victim of child abuse had his words twisted to seemingly make him look like a predator?

What happened isn't a small win for freedom, it was an obvious media assassination. Liberal media was salivating over the fact someone combed his past and edited a clip like that together for them to attack.

You're literally advocating for more PC culture by celebrating this.

[anaconda]

CPAC could be potentially lampooned by Milo in the not-too-far distant future. The majority of main stage speakers there are establishment Republicans who are inherently anti-free speech. I don't think Milo's career will miss a beat going forward, and will continue to escalate in stature.

[UWDude]

Im not playing 20 questions with you. I told you I will not even say how. I'm not even giving anymore hints as to how this works. Just watch. I'll be right.


This is not how it works, identity politics has its limits and people like Milo are far beyond that limit.

Duh.

Quit trying to tell me how I think. It is well beyond your feeble mind to even be able to grasp how I think.




Anyways, the more I think about it, the more it all makes sense. Kind of like the worthless NSA position.

[Champ]

Am I the only one that sees the hypocrisy in the glee of the msm pointing out alleged pedophilia and sexual misconsuct in order to do their best to ruin Milo, while simultaneously continuing to ignore another looming story about alleged pedophilia and sexual misconduct?

Suddenly this is a very important issue that needs a lot of media attention because their are innocent children out there. Protecting children is important now.

Business as usual.

It is projection, but projection is to be expected. Milo was not blindsided.


Fact of the matter is Bannon is two steps ahead of the media. I finally put another piece of the puzzle together tonight. Bannon and Trump have some very sensitive information, and have had it for a while. that is why rump was able to "predict the future" about Weiner. Killing Breitbart was a war they did not expect. And Trump has that old jew connection. And they helped someone out... ...to disappear in the good way, not grave way. The problem with compartmentalization is sometimes everyone can assume it was the other guy, but since it is need to know, it is hush hush and just assumed they other guy lay the hit. So you put the word out, and your guy disappears. But he had the goods. Oh, he had the goods alright.

[devil21]

Wait, so you mean the flamboyant jewish gay shit-stirrer "conservative" with the fake name is a false flag? The hell you say!

Looks like they just dug up George Takei saying stuff much worse than Milo. (not defending Milo, just pointing out some lefty hypocrisy) Wonder how long before the left explodes in outrage eh?

TRUTH.

No Milo fan here, but it does look like his words have been twisted and edited to fit someone's agenda.

Without doubt.

And when it was Podesta and crowd under suspicion the term "fake news" was invented.
Specifically about pizzagate. To end discussion in the media.

and that did concern small children.

"Pedo" is a term thrown around too much. It is used for any underage sex,,even when there are no children involved..
It is used for adolescents.

and doing so,,, diminishes the abhorrence.

[Unknownuser]

Milo was a victim whether he will admit it or not. He was groomed to think it was what he wanted. His abusers made him feel like it was his fault. Every gay I have known was abused. I feel for him. It's so sad.
