Milo Yiannoupoulis banned!

[Beats & Pieces]

Twitter has rules of use. This sexist, racist, all round bigoted, attention seeking shit cunt can cry as much as he likes. Twitter hasn't censored him, he broke the rules.

He may be very many things but I don't think he can be identified as racist, at least when it comes to his sexual proclivities!

I thought this was about a new Descendents album.

 

[friedaweed]

You don't get any of this shit on Bebo

He most certainly is a racist.

 

[Treacle Toes]

He may be very many things but I don't think he can be identified as racist, at least when it comes to his sexual proclivities!

I disagree. Have a think about why.

Nonsense. Just because you might fuck someone, doesn't mean you respect them. For some people, its just the opposite.

I disagree. Have a think about why.

Having a preference does not make you a racist.

you've not given this subject the consideration it merits.

[8den]

If the preference is based on racist reasoning then yes it is fucking racist.

 

[Beats & Pieces]

Quite possibly (is it actually worthy of consideration to the extent your post suggests?) but I was replying to a specific point made by Rutita.

His sexual preferences are based on racist reasoning?! I would think most sexual preferences are far more complex, surely?

Oh really?

Next, you'll be telling us that he's not a misogynist.

so you think racism is simple. why?

yes but your response was so vacuous it barely counts as an answer at all.

His views inform his conduct, they are the motivation for it.

I quite agree although not everyone holding such views acts in the way he does. In any event Twitter aren't stating that it was his views which lead to his account being suspended.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Having a preference does not make you a racist.

What the hell are you on about given your statement above.You are the one talking about preferences and how he can't be a racist because of who he fucks.That is bollocks afaiac. I think you need to think about the connections between sex and perceived power, also how historically race and racism influenced/s those dynamics and people's sexual preferences. Perhaps you can also tell me what you found funny enough to add to it as well? It isn't funny, not one fucking bit and quite frankly these little posts here and there questioning his racism are akin to support IMO.

 

[Treacle Toes]

I quite agree although not everyone holding such views acts in the way he does. In any event Twitter aren't stating that it was his views which lead to his account being suspended.

Given that his views informed his behaviour it was his views and subsequent behaviour that led to his ban.

Because twitters terms of service dont say "dont be a racists misogynist fucknuckle or we'll ban you". They really should update the terms.

 

[Lurdan]

Indeed. But since it was his behaviour which Twitter cited, to argue as was done above that he was banned for his opinions is incorrect. Thus that particular piece of trolling failed even before we get to the ridiculous cake shop analogy. I'm not attempting to find wiggle room for some right to hold and express vile opinions.

I have to say that milo is the head of the most pathetic personality cult on the planet

 

[J Ed]

Just why?

[Vintage Paw]

Literally who?

That's the best reply I've seen.

(Presumably it was phrased that way on purpose?)

My favourite version of such a rule was "Don't be an idiot. The Mods will tell you when you're being an idiot."

Gabe's rule is a modification of Wheaton's "Dont be a dick" rule.

The irony there being that they have become massive dicks without the anonymity.
