Milo Yiannoupoulis banned!

[rutabowa]

I don't like either the covert homophobia, or the "if all else fails call them a peedo" tactics... whichever side is doing it. It's fighting dirty, and the more people that join in the dirtier the world gets, which just helps the enemy.

 

[hot air baboon]

Yeah, he did say that - which isn't quite what you previously posted.

I hate to defend this nazi fuck, but I've heard similar from other gay men (and straight women) who've been sexually active since their early teens and have no regrets about it. I think they're wrong, and such relationships are exploitative even if they didn't feel like that at the time - but it's not really defending paedophilia.

You're really barking up the wrong fucking tree if you think I'm trying to capitalise on some kind of homophobia, trust me.

 

[Vintage Paw]

An interesting 'twist' to this is that Milo has helped coordinate attacks on trans women and other high profile women by accusing them of paedophilia.

Ah, man. Tatchell is going to catch it for this now.

 

[Vintage Paw]

A bit of history of some of the things Milo has done in the past. It's a thread - click on the tweet to see the rest.

 

[killer b]

We all know what a cunt he is.

 

[Vintage Paw]

We all know what a cunt he is.

So no more thread, I guess? He's a cunt. Discussion over? Or have these 23 pages been about discussing the ways in which he's a cunt, and the ramifications of it? Have I misunderstood the point of the thread?

fucking hell. this whole thing is appalingly sordid and vicious

 

[bimble]

The observation directly above the one Vintage Paw linked to is a good one.
It says

I think that's really insightful, at risk of being all armchair psychologist about him.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Assange has weighed in, saying the cancellation of Milo's book deal is 'book censorship'.

 

[belboid]

I want to see this fucker go down, believe me. But not for this.

imagine of someone wrote a TV series about this kind of thing happening, and they then went on to reboot a major British kids (sorry, family) TV show, the tabloids would go crazy.

that's a fanciful notion.

Except he doesn't see it as abuse. Maybe until now that he's feeling a bit vulnerable.

Well no, exactly, he said in the original tape that it wasn't abuse it was freedom. The armchair psychologist might say that this was a defence mechanism , this denial of having been a victim (even though he was only '12 or 13'). Then he goes on to make a career out of denying that power imbalances exist and abusing people with his megaphone and his online army.

 

[Lurdan]

Ah, man. Tatchell is going to catch it for this now.

This isn't exactly new news. Tatchell has advocated for lowering the age of consent for years and explained why, for example here
Don't criminalise young sex Peter Tatchell - Guardian (2009)
or on his website
Peter Tatchell: Age of Consent- Index
where he states

I do not support adults having sex with children.
I do not advocate teenagers having sex before the age of 16.

I am very very far from being a fan of his but in this as in other areas it's not hard to see the homophobia underlying many of the attacks on him.

Yep but I was thinking about every thing he else he said, women free from feminism, Muslim ban about freedom from terrorism, homophobia, misogyny, cultural whatever etc

No I wasn't talking about anything you said.

Of course. But such subtleties will be lost on many people who've spent the last few days screaming that Yiannopulous is a paed, when presented with a quote from Tatchell saying something almost identical.

I agree although I do think Milo was saying something significantly different - a defence of what used to be called "Greek love" - which has entirely objectionable elitist underpinnings (older person 'initiating' and 'mentoring' younger) even if it hadn't in practice been used to justify exploitative and abusive relationships.

 

[Pickman's model]

Ah, man. Tatchell is going to catch it for this now.

Did no one notice at the time?

 

[killer b]

probably. that doesn't mean a whole new audience can't notice it again.

glad to come on here and see sense / perspective prevail - wasn't finding that on soc media

oops...sorry

( actually I saw it come up alot during the post-Savile fall-out, 2012-ish )

Assange needs some fresh air... A publisher cancelling a contract isn't censorship, it a business decision.
