      The Milo Yiannopoulos video circulating is far from his worst statement about intergenerational sex. Other stuff is going to surface.

      I remember a podcast where Yiannopoulos talked about, in laughing manner, staying with a man who kept underage kids around for sex.

      Here's the Yiannopoulos podcast I was thinking of. All bad, but particularly at 5:13 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJhHwspZGcg …

      With Yiannopoulos video 2 possibilities: 1) he witnessed horrific crime & did nothing or 2) he made up horrific story for giggles.

      Yiannopoulos reference to "this arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent" is, I'd argue, the key to his sexual politics.

          Is this the social conservative version of them running the gov't into the ground and them saying "see you can't trust the gov't"

          Analysing his politics gives him too much credit. He knows “consent” is a redline for progressives, so he crosses it to rile them.

          The key question is what Milo was or was not doing in the basement of Comet Pizza in Wash DC. Some ppl would grab guns over that.

          @arthur_affect It is also not uncommon. I read a lot of gay romance, and the underage/adult theme is common.

          he wanted to give conservatives proof that gay men were exactly as perverted and predatory as they believed. It's a marketing ploy

          It makes it worse because he's bought into his own hype, and helped further persecution of oppressed groups
