Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos lost both a speaking gig at a prominent conservative event and a book deal in less than 24 hours.

First, Monday afternoon the American Conservative Union rescinded its invitation to the right-wing provocateur — noted for his political posts on the Internet — to speak at its annual Conservative Political Action Conference this upcoming weekend. Then, a few hours later, Simon & Schuster announced that it was canceling the publication of Yiannopoulos' upcoming book, Dangerous.

These actions come in the wake of a social media backlash against Yiannopoulos after the conservative news outlet The Reagan Battalion tweeted videos on Sunday in which Yiannopoulos appears to condone statutory rape and sexual relationships between boys and men.

Yiannopoulos sought to clarify his comments Monday in a Facebook post citing the video clips as "deceptive editing" and blaming his own "sloppy phrasing" for any indication that he supports pedophilia. He goes on to defend himself by referencing his own relationship when he was 17 with a man who was 29. The age of consent in the U.K. is 16.

There were several references to sex between boys and men in the video.

ACU chairman Matt Schlapp issued the following statement via Twitter Monday afternoon.

"Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient. It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments.
"We initially extended the invitation knowing that the free speech issue on college campuses is a battlefield where we need brave, conservative standard-bearers."


​

Schlapp also appeared on Fox News Monday evening to further explain why Yiannopoulos was dropped. Schlapp said that in the videos, it sounded as if Yiannopoulos was trying to mainstream something as offensive as pedophilia. He suggested that if what Yiannopoulos said was taken out of context, he needs to continue to speak out and clear his name on his own.

"Milo is one of God's children as well. We don't wish him any harm," Schlapp told Fox.

Yiannopoulos's book Dangerous was originally scheduled to be released in March but was pushed back to June, The Associated Press reports. Some 100 Simon & Schuster authors had objected to the book deal.

On Monday, Simon & Schuster announced that it's canceling the publication of the book, issuing the following statement to its staff obtained by NPR:

"After careful consideration, Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint have canceled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos."

​

Yiannopoulos confirmed the cancellation on his Facebook page.

"They canceled my book," his post read.

What a bore.

 

[evh]

The guy is more famous for the off topic things that he says than his main points. For most he is better known as an asshole first and his politics second.

I watched him on Bill Maher. The only thing I could think of is a guy who simply says anything and everything that he can think of to be controversial. He can say the sky is yellow, when it is blue. He can say he admires pedophiles in one sentence, and then complain about transgenders in the wrong bathrooms in another sentence. Maximum coverage of shit over as many groups as possible. Once you know this about him, you simply listen to him and say, "uh huh...", and you immediately ignore him, because nothing he is saying is serious. :biggrin2:

Anthropologists propose three subdivisions of homosexuality as age-structured, egalitarian and gender-structured.[3][4]

Pederasty is the archetypal example of male age-structured homosexuality.[3]Geoffrey Gorer and others distinguish pederasty from pedophilia, which he defined as a separate, fourth type that he described as "grossly pathological in all societies of which we have record."

According to Gorer, the main characteristic of homosexual pederasty is the age difference (either of generation or age-group) between the partners. In his study of native cultures pederasty appears typically as a passing stage in which the adolescent is the beloved of an older male, remains as such until he reaches a certain developmental threshold, after which he in turn takes on an adolescent beloved of his own.

This model is judged by Gorer as socially viable, i.e. not likely to give rise to psychological discomfort or neuroses for all or most males. He adds that in many societies, pederasty has been the main subject of the arts and the main source of tender and elevated emotions.[5]

Milo Yiannopoulos defends child molestation

This guy is an idiot and his only redeeming feature & skill is to say something really offensive and hope the media runs with it. I'm a long time hacker and trolling was always part of the culture. I once saw a very well known hacker go after the Jewish owner of a company who had multiple sexual assault lawsuits against him. His reply was "you belong in a oven". Trolling was often used to upset the status quo, annoy people or attempt to prove you were the most obnoxious hacker on the internet. Of late it seems you can become a professional troll, spew a bunch of bullshit & for reasons unknown people pay attention to you. When someone comes after you and points out your deplorable behaviour the cookie cutter response is always "It's free speech I can say what I want". Of course this ignores free speech is written into the constitution re: speaking OUT against the government, not being a stupid retard behind a keyboard. And no one said there weren't consequences. The real problem with trolls like Milo or Ezra Levant is they're pussies. The minute you use their own tactics on them, they block or ban you. A real troll would relish such an attack and feed off it and turn it around on the attacker. Milo is a light weight. Let me assure you, now he's going to turn it around and act like he'll "soldier on in the face of adversity". Same guy is gay but hates gays and wants them back in the closetIf I ever run the world, I'll take guys like Milo and enlist them in the US Marines. They have the toughest boot camp (or so I'm told). In the unlikely chance a guy like Milo makes basic training I'd station him in a place like the Korengal Valley with the most hard core Staff Sergeant I could find. tl:dr: He's a moron and a waste of skin
