It won't sink Milo among his dedicated Internet fans but it's derailed his ticket to the big time. That was dependent on him being seen as 'dangerous (tee hee)' not actually dangerous, and being painted as a sicko pervert threatening their kids has moved him firmly from the former to the latter among a lot of people whose opinions matter.

Milo never had anything interesting to say, but was famous for being infamous. With the loss of all his big platforms there's nothing to distinguish him from any other alt-right nobody bilking infantile ex-gamergaters. He'll still be around and presumably still target individuals to try to rebuild profile, but he's had a massive setback and could spiral down as well as up.

Of course that just begs the question of why being a paedophile didn't hurt Trump, but I guess 1. he's not gay and 2. there's much more incentive to ignore or explain away behavior by someone promising to restore white power in America than someone promising to annoy people you don't like.

It's because the claim that Trump raped a little girl is easily dismissible if you don't want to believe it. All the sexual assault he did to adults is what took all the mental gymnastics.

Well now I'm depressed. I really thought this might be the end of Milo, but since you're all predicting it is and as we've learned over the last year you're the wrongest motherfuckers on the planet when it comes to predicting anything politics related it probably means he'll have his own prime time show on FOX news in about 6 months.

Seriously though, I hope he disappears for a while at least and reassesses his life because being the gay minstrel for a bunch of neo-fascists has to be soul crushing on some level, even for someone as cynical and opportunistic as Milo.

There's also the stuff about dressing rooms but yeah, it's much more easily dismissible than what Milo was hit with. The big scandal involved being caught on tape in both cases.

The Trump Shield protects trump because 90% of the things out of trump's mouth is unintelligible babbling or random bragging, so it's very easy to interpret anything he says that wouldn't ordinarily play nice with your worldview as either a string of arbitrary sounds, or a lie he made up because he thinks it looks cool.

i am mixed. he won't go away, but his shot at going mainstream are tattered at least for now. he probably wont get as many invites to various places including colleges, and the mainstream right as well as the evengelical right are weary or hate him now.

He made some comments about being at a hollywood party where young boys were present for entertainment purposes (lol Bryan Singer was involved somehow I'm guessing) but didn't say he participated. They're calling him a pedo because he didn't hate being abused at 14 and doesn't think its the worst thing that can happen to someone. Not treating sexual abuse as the equivalent of genocide is the same thing as being a pedo for a large portion of the population

People were pissed because he said being abused by older men could be constructive for boys. He can react to his own trauma however he wants, that's his purview, but he's a loving scumbag for saying that it could be good for it to happen to other young people.

More to the point, I don't particularly care when someone whose career is built around saying mean, untrue or half-true things about other people is brought down by a disingenuous character attack. He's getting a taste of his own medicine, I just hope it significantly costs him in the end.

He was specifically talking about gay teen boys though, and if you talk with older members (35+) of the gay community, if not a majority, certainly a sizable minority had their first sexual experiences with adults and many don't feel that they were abused (i.e. George Takei apparently). Interestingly in his press conference yesterday that's the one thing he categorically refused to back off of, that such relationships can be beneficial for teens. I don't know. I'm a medical doctor and will be starting a doctorate in psychiatry in several months as well as being a gay man who was both abused (at age 6) and who sought out "abuse" from older men as a teen (as I alluded to before) and I honestly don't know the answer. I can say without a doubt that there was a huge difference between what happened to me at 6 and what happened at 14 even though the sexual abuse at 6 was "milder" in terms of the acts performed. The abuse at 6 was very traumatic and something I spent years in counseling getting over (as an adult, I never told anyone) but the activity at 14 is not something I look back on with disgust or fear. I tend to think sexual activity within the age appropriate peer group is going to be safer and better for teens and luckily we now live in a world (in the west) where that's possible for a lot of gay youth and I would certainly not encourage any man to have sex with a teen, even if the teen seeks it out, but it may be that in this specific instance the issue is not completely black and white.

Looking forward to being branded a pedo-apologist now I suppose, but I feel like I have the perspective to speak on this honestly.

nah duder alternate perspectives stimulate good conversation. I think clear consent helps to cut through the bullshit but even i have to cringe at the thought folks being groomed or exploited just because of a feeling of not belonging or whatnot. I spent a lot of time volunteering in homes for gay and lesbian teenagers who's parents basically gave em the old bible shove out the house, and that story is pretty common. I just have issues with kids rejected by hetero parents seeking adults to fill an adult mentoring role and being taken advantage of for it.

the problem with milo isn't that he sees his own abuse as good, it's that he straight up said "it's not pedophilic to be attracted to 13 year old boys, they are sexually mature, and them having sex with adult men is good." there isn't wiggle room here.
