He's Milo Yiannopopopopoulous. He's known for professional trolling.

“In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationships — the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable sort of rock,” Yiannopoulos said.

 

His response:

 

Too late. His downfall was coming. 

Funny how he's said so many other controversial things in the past and this is what's turning some of the people that supported him off.

1) It's worth noting that what Milo said is identical, almost verbatim, to what William Belli (a drag queen that is very popular on this forum) has said about his experience having sex with Priest's as a young boy. 

2) It's also worth noting, that in spite of him obviously not talking about pedophilia BuzzFeed and basically every blog/news site is running this story with the word pedophilia in the headline. An accusation of pedophilia is the only sure fire way to sink a person's public standing.

1) It's not worth noting, unless you expect our opinion to be guided by others (despite making the claim the Buzzfeed does it). It is completely unrelated, and I can still like someone without agreeing with everything they say.

2) It is pedophilia, though, and it could lead to drastic amounts of manipulation. It's a justification of something that would in many cases be traumatizing. The media drags things out of proportion, but calling pedophilia what it is (according to the law) is not wholly untrue.

You "wonder" a lot about that sub and continue to bring that mess over here under the guise of "just letting us know". 

We aren't fooled, ya know.

You missed my point about Willam Belli. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of some members of this forum. I was not claiming that Willam's remarks validated Milo's.

And, this isn't pedophilia. Pedophiles are sexually attracted to per-pubescent children. He is talking about individuals who are pubescent or post-pubescent. He is talking about individuals who meet the age of consent in the majority of European countries.

Enough of what? 

It's not relevant to post how Trump/Milo's supporters are reacting to this news?

I think he has the same right to hold that opinion as Willam, but Willam doesn't claim to be an activist. Milo does, and what he says has weight to his followers who will believe what he says, some of whom to any extent. Agree with him on this or not, but what he says has weight (which is his intention), where Willam is just an entertainer, so his ideas should still be a non-issue.

To the other parts: I still disagree, but I can't argue opinions (although I personally see him as a public menace).

He's said worse things. Relationships between young and old men with education as purpose (which is literally what he was talking about) were very normal for the ancient Greeks. Plato did it. He didn't defend pedosexuality, and in many countries the legal age of consent is lower than 16. The fact that he was molested by a priest also explains his behaviour. Duterte teas.

I'm glad his career is over. His comments on feminism, transgenders and the like are much worse.

No. If we wanted to check, we'd go to Stormfront, Breitbart comments section, Donny's reddit page or whatever. You are constantly bringing that "alt-right" bs to every thread. No one asked.

So you think this thread shouldn't have been created in the first place, because Milo's comments themselves are also alt-right BS?

His everything should have cancelled when he started a cyber bullying campaign against Leslie Jones just because she was minding her own business.

Not surprised to see a certain somebody defend him at all costs though. Lol.

It's not an opinion, it's a matter of definitions. Look up the words of pedophilia and ephebophilia.

Ignore them. You are as welcome to share things from Trumpland as they are welcome to share things from BuzzFeed and Salon.

The age of consent in the majority of European countries is 16 (the lowest is 14) and he used a 13 year old boy as an example. 

He had it coming and he deserves all this backlash. Willam is a comedian and he doesn't say girls are in danger of being raped by trans women in public bathrooms.

I meant my opinion on the morality of such relationships.

 

Be careful on top of that high horse, I'd hate for you to fall off, SKANK
