Quite often, the pedophiles are victims of child abuse. I do not know if his explanation is true, or the walking back of his being statement. He is a troll though.
Rev, you really can't have it both ways. Either his outrageous positions on sexual abuse, transexuality, homosexuality and the like is his coping mechanism, or it's valid political rhetoric and comment. If it's the former, he needs to keep it to the therapy sessions and we need to view it as the verbalised workings of a disordered mind. Yet we are being invited to take his arguments as serious contributions to the political debate on the issues in question, in which case, you bet he's going to reap the storm for minimising the sexual abuse of young teenagers.
So, which is it? Is he indulging in very public therapy sessions, or is his position on all these matters an expression of valid political insight?
He's not being eviscerated for one interview, he's told those stories of 'Father Michael' several times. Perhaps if he got himself some proper psychotherapy he wouldn't have to regale the rest of us with his salacious anecdotes that he likes to call 'context'.
He also does not like women,
is a 'men's right activist',
claims LGBT should drop the T,
says that there are no such things as lesbians, and being gay is a choice.
It's all terribly ironic, post-modern and ****ed-up in a very 2010s sort of way. We have a far-right troll, who's made his entire schtick about demonising minorities, whipping up unfounded fears of exaggerated dangers emanating from a target community now being turned on by the very people who were applauding his antics and joining in the Islamophobic/transphobic/misogynistic fun.
"Oh my God!" they cry, "We love what he says about towel-heads and tranny freaks, but leave our homophobia alone." I think this thread alone must break some kind of record for the speed of a u-turn, the fastest flip-flops in forum history.
I also love how, when it's CPAC and Simon & Shuster closing down his free speech, no one seems very bothered, but when it's Berkeley students...
I get it that Milo and friends have set their heart on the idea of normalising fascist ideas within the LGBT communities, and on getting LGBT people participating, and being accepted in far-right political circles. I love the delicious irony of him getting hoisted on the petard of his own bigotry. It's a bit like that scene in Game of Thrones when Ramsey Bolton gets eaten by his own attack dogs.
He's an absolute troll, and I think he was doing a couple things here, he was trying to be provocative, as he was also being defensive in rationalizing his own sexual abuse. That's all I saw.
I think one result of being a victim is a de sensitizing of the emotional response other people get when discussing sexuality, and learning inappropriate behaviors. There was an incident a couple of years ago where a young girl was filmed in the high school bathroom giving sexual favors.. turns out she had just been rescued from human trafficking, and that behavior was 'ingrained' into her. I can see being a rape victim would make milo speak of it inappropriately. His trolling goes far beyond just this one subject matter though.
Both. he's outspoken about those issues, but he got really off the reservation when it hit his own abuse. you can see it in his body language as well as his voice. he's usually sharp as a tack in response and he flusters through this. Did you read the transcript of the exchange?
Which exchange? The one from Joe Rogan's show, or the one from the Drunken Peasants podcast?
I don't see that as a bad thing.
Milo can help (and has helped) change some conservatives' view on gay people. Same goes with Blaire White, who is a transgender woman, and does agree with a lot of conservative viewpoints.
The more people like them on their side, the better.
Maybe...but mostly I think he's just a sensationalist making money off of being absurd and saying things he know will get people in a tizzy. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but at the same accord it's not like it's some reasoned political debate he's promoting.
I don't disagree.

I really can't believe George Carlin is being brought into this. I don't know if it's a diversionary tactic or if some of ya'll really have that failed of logic.
Huge difference here is Carlin was a comedian. We understood that about 95% of what he said was not to be taken seriously on stage.
However, Milos is an editor at breitbart. A news organization, no matter how ridiculous the crap they print is, still tries to present it's self as serious. He as a high profile senior staff member should have known that those comments were going to be very toxic. It was a horrible misstep and trying to draw comparisons to a comedians act is clouding the conversation and a clear diversionary tactic.

Isn't it nice to know you don't exist?
well now i understand why republicans fawn over him. Like i said, worst gay 'advocate' ever. Still, for republicans that represents progress
Considering the issue is not related, it should.
He does? That seems pretty hard to believe considering he said he would like to be cured of his homosexuality.
Well, yes. He also has problems 'he is not a conservative', so it makes me wonder why he got invited to CPAC to begin with in the first place.
