Yeah he straight up says that sexual relationships between younger boys and older men can be incredibly positive experiences.


I've twice typed up a response to this thread to explain exactly what Milo is talking about. I've deleted it twice because I don't want to sound like I endorse or condone the behavior. What I will say is that he is not talking about pedophillia in the clip, but that is definitely a logical conclusion to draw if you don't have a frame of reference for what he is actually describing.

I'm not defending Milo so much as I am taken aback by the fake outrage over it.

Why are people not ripping Hollywood apart right now? If Milo is pimping pedo then why not demand that Hollywood out pedos?
I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone battling this on any front. Glad we're on the same page.

Gay, adult men helping curious or shy gay teenagers to embrace their sexuality by.... embracing their sexuality.

That's what he is describing and you're fundamentally talking about a more mature adult taking advantage of the less mature teenager.

If I'm a 30 year old dude helping 14 year old girls come into their sexual prime by fingering their 14 year old pussies, I'm not a hero and I'm not normal. That is a perverted power and sexual relationship and one society should not endorse.

I don't understand how people are defending him.


People need to stop using the term "boy" and "pedophile". 14-17 year olds are teenagers and post-pubertal.

And such relationships (teenagers with men in their 20s-30s) are incredibly common among homosexuals. I find it bizarre people on the left are freaking out about it now.

That doesn't mean it's healthy and something that should be normalized and protected.

I hate responses that are only emoticons.

It tells me that someone can't defend their position.

I said that Milo's book is in high demand based on preorders. The cancelling of the book is a disruption of the free market as there is now a disruption in the supply that has nothing to do with organic supply and demand.

I never brought up the 1st Amemdment as it doesn't apply.

Can you address what I said with something more than an emoticon or should I just assume you can't handle a debate?

Also it seems like no one calls the 30 year old female teacher who bangs her 14 year old male student a pedophile.

But that's not the issue at hand. The claim is that Milo supports pedophilia.

I think you're trying to parse the definition of pedophilia to ignore the fact he does support relationships that are not appropriate and not healthy.

Hugh Hefner banging 20 year olds isn't healthy or appropriate either.

In the aggregate, 20 year olds are more mature than 14 year olds. This can lead to the debate about arbitrary 17/18 as the age of consent, but I think most people can agree 14 is a non-starter.

I have an idea: how about Milo tones down the deviant pervert shtick and starts talking meaningful politics again. You know, that thing that made him worthwhile to listen to before he started dressing up like a member of the village people and constantly referencing black cock.

I'm not interested in hearing any political commentator constantly discuss their sexual perversions, and it's no different with Milo.

Here's a video of Milo on Sky debating sexism in science.

Youtubes

Now contrast that with the Johnny Weir, limp-wrist act that we witnessed on the Bill Maher show.

I just posted a video that shows otherwise. You should watch some of his debates and tv appearances before he started acting like a sexually deviant clown.

Fine, "pedophile" is wrong in the strict sense that he's not describing pre-pubescent boys, but a grown man having sex with a minor boy is still extremely wrong and should never be condoned or defended.

You've picked a weird hill to die on.

No, this is the free market at work. Simon and schuster didn't want to be associated with an author that appears to advocate for pedophilia ( or if you want to mince terms hebephilia). They did this as consumers might elect to not buy their books if they kept this association. This is a rational decision on their part, and consumers do yield power to force their hands. If you don't like their decision, don't buy their books, maybe they will change their mind.

Conservatives love the concept of boycotts until they result in something they don't like.
