That doesn't exactly disprove your point.  Breitbart is 100% behind Trump, not the Republican party.  If Trump says he doesn't like the Republican Establishment, neither will they. 

Personally, I'm glad he's gone.  I think most people on the right liked him because of his anti-feminist vids, which I will admit are pretty entertaining.  However, those do not excuse is disgusting views on sex with minors and his other alt-right views.

My views on Milo are similar to my views on Steven Crowder. They're good at picking apart the SJWs and low hanging fruit. However, I disagree with them on a lot of their stances (e.g. Milo on atheism and Steven on climate change).

I don't know if I'd put Crowder and Milo on the same level. I agree a lot more with Crowder than Milo, plus Crowder wants nothing to do the the fanatics in the alt-right movement or their "post-fact world," as Milo  puts it. I also think Milo is a blind Trump loyalist, where Crowder is an outspoken Conservative/Libertarian (can't remember which he identifies as), and has criticized Trump on several occasions.

Overreaction by the MSM and the left. They weren't this outraged over the many cases of female teachers sleeping with their students.

You do know that the religious republicans are triggered for real by MILO's comments and they're the ones who are going after him, right? At least the left is doing their usaual fake outrage, and that never dictated how websites like breitbart ran their businesses. In fact, the fake outrage technique hasn't been working out for the left's favor, just like it didn't in this particular case. So need to shift the blame, your party sucks as well

The left shows real outrage, too, and has been responsible for quite a few people being fired, usually over stupid shit. In fact, I'd say they do it much more often. The announcer on ESPN who got fired for saying guerrilla warfare because some idiots that he said gorilla in reference to a black athlete. Or the CEO of Mozilla because he had a different opinion from the left. Just a few examples that spring to mind.

Never thought I'd say the day where people are so entertrained by someones life being destroyed that they don't even care about the person who is sexually abusing children. It's like an episode of the twilight zone or some shit like that.

Say what you will about Milo - he's always been a colorful and interesting individual, even when he's said very controversial even hateful things.

Not condoning anything Milo's said or done, just saying he's a very fascinating individual. A very broken, confused individual -- and likely a childhood victim of rape in his childhood.

It's sad to see people who fought so hard to limit victim-shaming of rape now very publically shame a victim of sexual abuse (Milo). 

You could say "well he was asking for it" -- but that's the type of logic that we're trying to do away with in the world.

It's VGchartz servers. You press send, and it stops loading, and then because you pressed the button a few times when their servers come back to working order it posts them all.

Couldn't have said it better if I tried. Everything you said exactly how I feel about this whole situation.

He said he lost his virginity (at 13 I thought he said, but I could be misremembering) in a five-way homosexual encounter, and spoke of it in positive terms.  That certainly violates the "third party" angle of the German sex law, leaving aside the fact that it took place AFAIK in Britain where the age of consent is higher. 

Another thing that happened to Milo that he spoke of as a good thing to happen to other people is giving blowjobs to his priest (he was 14 and the priest was 28).  This is certainly a situation with an extremely strong likelihood of exploitation based on the social power a priest has over a boy (in addition to the physical power the average adult has over the average 14 year old, and Milo doesn't look like he was an incredibly large and strong 14 year old). 

(Side note:  I don't know how it is in Europe, but we've had a significant and long-term scandal here in the USA about priests sexually abusing boys, so this in particular may have hit a nerve in terms of public reaction even beyond the rest of it.) 

Yes, he did speak of relationships at these ages in the context of the younger person being "sexually mature", but on the other hand he spoke of kids that age "taking advantage" of teachers twice their age.  I don't think it's reasonable to assert that the child has the advantage in such a relationship and I think his caveats are generally suspect. 

Milo spoke of a personal sexual encounter in positive terms. Crucify him!

Note: the whole world knows the scandal about the child-molesting catholic priests.

Was it a positive sexual encounter, though?  He certainly said so many times in the video, but then in the press conference he said it was abuse.  Then he said that his earlier comments were sarcasm.  In my view that is a complete misrepresentation of what he said in the video.  If that's what was going through his brain in the video I have to ask why anyone would ever listen to the words coming out of his mouth. 

You seem to agree with me in that you don't think he was being sarcastic in the video.  What else would explain your first sentence? 

P.S.  On the subject of the priest sex scandal, I know you know about it, but how much of the problem occurred in your country?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Milo is the kind of gay guy that conservatives can get behind.

What are you talking about? All conservatives secretly want to get right behind any kind of guy
