MIlo's comments are so heinous because it's the exact rationale a lot of adult men use to justify their actions when they push themselves on young boys. And as someone who's been through that, waxing poetic about the special relationship you think you have with a fucking child does not make you less intimidating, or that child less fearful.

Milo is human garbage, if this wasn't already clear. And those of you who find him charming really need to look in a mirror and examine why the fuck that is.

I think what Frum's hinting at is that it'll come to nothing.

Eh I don't know. Milo is talking about children here and I really think that's a big no no.

I think Frum's main point is that if you are willing to call this out. Why are you also still standing by a President that admitted on tape to sexual assault?

Unfortunately no consequence will come of this. Ironically enough Maher did a segment about this phenomenon on the same show with Yianaopololosis. Conservatives are immune to this and it's been happening for decades. Newt Gingrich cheats on his terminally ill wife? Not a problem. John Edwards? Career down the drain.

He's spinning hard as hell in the comments, but it doesn't seem to be working too well. I think this might be a bridge too far for even his fanbase.

This is different. Pizzagate should give you an idea, or sites like VigilantCitizen or Prison Planet, etc. Elite = pedos, so for Milo to advocate that, they won't let him get away with it.

I don't know what's going to come of this, but it's a big no no. The only people that will openly defend something like or shit stains. CPAC will most likely not invite him now.

Alright I watched it. He came off as a likeable moron, rather than the hateful moron he is - which is what I was afraid of. People who have never seen him now might think of him as a kind of social-minded Baron Cohen, because they have no idea the levels of hate and cruelty he spiels in his appearances.

Well I guess this time giving them a platform worked, he'll be labeled a pedo now. Trump shows it doesn't always work that way though. Money and power can hide some shit well.

Milo is also a gay man. And he fits that bullshit conservative boogeyman. That if you have gay people around children something is going to happen.

I'm not going to say it's impossible, but I've certainly never seen someone earnestly draw a distinction between pedophilia and "ephebophilia" without coming off real ugly. We just don't need that much precision.

I've seen the exact same argument get made on GAF. On the gaming side no doubt.

Yep. Ive literally only seen someone make the distinction when giving a report on the different forms in school.

I'm curious to see if it's actually possible for scum like yiacuntopopkjoplluoiwhateverus and trump to actually get finished off by their own b.s.

I'm guessing no but hoping yes.

The overtime video is now over 4m views and will be the highest watched video from Maher's youtube channel sometime today (two other videos are around 4.5m views). It'll probably hit 10m views in the next week. So from a business perspective it seems Maher hit gold here. It'll take a week for the Live+7 cable TV numbers to come out.

Well yeah, that's why he had him on the show. It certainly wasn't to counter his views.

I can't even waste time getting angry because he just seems to be provoking that response on purpose. The best ways to deal with Milo if you don't like what he says? Ignore him, outwit him, or shame him.

Honestly ignoring is the only thing that works. He's only popular because he's hated, the hate goes the alt right will dump him.

GOP Legislators continued to embrace Josh Duggar and his family after that shitshow so I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to embrace Milo

Because calling someone a "clown" means they're a joke.

Once again:

Milo. Is. Not. A. Joke.

It doesn't matter if he's a con artist who sells himself on saying horrible things. He's got a whole lot of people who support and believe the things he says, and are willing to do terrible things because of them to other people.

It's not a game, it's not a joke, it's not funny, it's not just a troll, and it needs to be taken seriously.
Click to expand...

Sorry but I don't believe for a second that's remotely a real issue. It's like saying political cartoons are dangerous because people will start thinking politics are for children. It's just such a silly idea that can be dismissed by anyone who has had experience in conversation. People call Trump a clown, people called Obama a clown. It doesn't mean they don't take it seriously and it's never led people to believe that topics weren't actually serious.

I actually think a clown is an effective comparison. He's a slapstick moron and given his influence and following, him being compared to a clown might make people realize the damage he can do in his position

No, seriously. Should we be debating the merits of child predation with people who are against age of consent laws?

"Oh, Adder, that's not the same!"

The fuck it isn't! The only difference is that none of you "let's fight atrocities with rational arguments" people have the fucking stones to step up and say a word in its defense. Because children are universally unacceptable targets. Transgender folks, minorities, immigrants? "Oh, well you're ALLOWED to threaten them in the name of a good debate!"

Holy crap, two threads now, together almost 200'000 views. So much about not giving him a platform. He is really in a lot of peoples head, this is pretty obsessive. I don't think even Milo thinks about Milo as much as some people in this thread do.
