About Milo Yiannopoulos Being Trash and Lines Not to Cross
Let me start this off by saying that Milo Yiannopoulos is trash. You might be asking “who the hell is this Milo dude?” He is garbage in human form. He is a retch and walking, talking upchuck. In fact, here’s a portrait:
Milo is a vile, racist, sexist, transphobic, DECENCYphobic dudebro who writes for Breitbart. And he makes more than enough anti-gay statements, even though he’s gay himself. Uncle Ruckus face ass. Self-hate is a summagoat. He is Darth Chad (word to Very Smart Brothas). He is so awful that he’s been banned from Twitter (the land where trolls go to get air). One of his crimes? Leading the charge and inciting the drudge of the internet to torment Leslie Jones when the remake of Ghostbusters came out. He’s just a terrible human being and he deserves nothing good.
But because he’s a white man, all he gets is flourish. The dude gets all types of press, gets paid hella money to speak, and even got a book deal for $250,000 from Simon & Schuster. That very book deal made Roxane Gay pull her book from her S&S imprint, having been a target of one of Milo’s harassment. He’s been getting rewarded for being a vile piece of shit for a long time. Soooooo: white history in a sentence.
Today, audio of a podcast that he recorded came out. There, he talked about how sexual relationships between young boys and older men might provide them with love and safety and security. Basically, HIGH FIVE PEDOPHILIA. And then all hell broke loose for Milo. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) took back their invitation for him to keynote their conference. ANDDDDDD Simon & Schuster dropped his book, rescinding his deal.
That parasite got his beloved book deal snatched! YAY. It’s just a shame that it took pedophilia for Milo to lose his deal. Like… bruh. This dude BEEN on boolsheet. Only NOW is he outta line? NOW is when he’s done too much? NOW is when people can no longer stand with him? Pedophilia should not be the only line folks need to cross before they start losing at life and losing their livelihood. There’s a lot in between “good person” and “sexual desire in an adult for a child” that should warrant someone being punished in society. Maybe there is, but if you’re a white man, you have more leeway.
Look at his stupid face and stupid haircut.
The message that Milo has received up to this point is that the more he antagonizes anyone who is not exactly like him, the more he wins. There’s countless people who support his message and cheer him on, and those people are completely hopeless and cannot be helped. I don’t expect anything from them, for they have proven themselves to be citizens of the Land of Abandoned People. But what grinds my gears are those who are elevating him in a pretense of supporting free speech, even when it’s hate speech.
Bill Maher is at the end of backlash right now for having Milo on his show this past week, giving him space to spew his hateful rhetoric. All in the name of having open debate. People keep giving demagogues platforms in the name of “free speech” when the United States government is the only one bound by the Constitution. The road to hell is paved by people who want to “give folks a chance” to be heard, in spite of how dangerous and damaging their words will be.
And then Simon & Schuster giving him that quarter of a million dollars to publish his memoir (which was aptly called “Dangerous”). Yes, they took the deal away but there isn’t any applause for them from me. Milo should have never been given the deal to begin with, and when people balked, they defended it. They stood by him and literally supported verbal venom. Milo is not entitled to free speech by a publisher, and he should certainly not be rewarded for his hate speech. S&S doesn’t get props here. They get the “Girl, I guess” side-eye.
Roxane Gay commented on this on her Tumblr, making the very good point that:
“Simon & Schuster realized it would cost them more money to do business with Milo than he could earn for them. They did not finally “do the right thing” and now we know where their threshold, pun intended, lies. They were fine with his racist and xenophobic and sexist ideologies. They were fine with his transphobia, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. They were fine with how he encourages his followers to harass women and people of color and transgender people online.”
Again, it took THIS for this dude to start seeing coins being taken away. Hey racist, islamophobic, sexist pigs! All your hate can flourish. Just make sure you keep the child sex talk thing to a minimum, k?? And not just that. Sure, talk about little girls. JUST NOT THE BOYS. STAY AWAY FROM TALKING ABOUT THE BOYS.
That’s the line that cannot be crossed. Got it. When the man who is now the President of the United States won AFTER he was caught on tape talking about how he wants to grab a woman’s nethers, of course all of this is okay. My goodness. Y’all give white men a long rope, don’t you? It’s actually impressive how much they can do but still prosper in spite of it.
Milo Yiannopoulous is trash and I hope he goes down in a blaze of glory. I wish him a lifetime of dry mouth and dandruff (and other petty prayers). Starting now.
White male patriarchy and their false sense of supremacy is going to be the death of us all.

He’s gay and Jewish, the thing he holds up whenever he gets called out. Apparently he also has a black boyfriend.
He’s not Jewish. He only claims to have some Jewish ancestry when he’s accused of being antisemitic.
Ok, well that’s how he describes himself when he’s trying to defend his speech. That it’s so absurd to say he’s alt right or a nazi because he’s. Have no idea if it’s true.
He is definitely not Jewish.
He actually does have Jewish ancestry. His maternal grandmother was Jewish. Clearly his mother did not raise him as a Jew, but that’s a whole other story.
Pretty sure he has come out as gay. So not a straight white man. Not even really a human it seems.
So gay people aren’t human. There goes your science degree, if you ever had one lol. Keep on being boring and out of date buddy, i’m sure your friends are just as meh
ugh: ehhhm, I don’t think the “not even really a human” thing has anything to do with him being gay. did you just want to be mad about something today?
But… he’s not straight. Dear God, is he not straight. It’s one of the things they LOVED about him. “See? Not ALL gays are Dems, or believe in equal rights for women, trans and immigrants. That means WE’RE not homophobic. YAY!”
Regardless, they will abandon him, now. So, we must be satisfied with that.
Totally agree, but one crucial point: dude is gay.
Fixed point! He’s gay. I just knew he was straight, as homophobic as he is. Turns out he’s just a self-hating goat.
Yes, self-hating is definitely what he is. As well as the ultimate troll.
I winder how much of that advance book money he got to keep and I get even more irked.
May he suffer a thousand paper cuts and bathe in lemon juice.
I am glad to see his downfall, if only to shut up his racist, homophobe followers who were always saying “But he has sex with Black men so he can’t be racist and homophobic.”
There’s a huge difference between loving Black men and fetishizing them. He did the latter. He said he selected men on their skin color, that they had to be a certain darkness or it was a no-go for him. That is the opposite of not being a racist.
I am side-eyeing his black boyfriend so hard my body just did a complete 360° turn. ????????????
He never had a black boyfriend – that would imply some kind of relationship. Black men are his preferred fucktoys, his fetish. He does not give a rat’s ass about them as people and probably doesn’t even think of them as people.
He doesn’t think of women as people, either, but only as targets for his despicable bile.
He is a gollum made of hate, topped with a cheap blond wig.
What she said. /\
Yes, everything she said! ^
Yep…what she said
^ she said that!
^ Ditto
^^^^^
IDK about anybody else, but I wanna know wth his black boyfriend is? I need answers and receipts. I need both. HOW CAN YOU BE A GAY, JEWISH DEMAGOGUE? That don’t go together? I NEED ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS! !!!!
Receipts from all these fools.
One correction (probably me just nitpicking). This hate goblin doesn’t just write for Breitbart. He’s the senior editor of this white supremacist propaganda mill.
When I first saw this I thought you were talking about Milo Ventimiglia. I was upset because I love him in This Is Us. hahaha
I’m dyinggg ????????????????
Myyyy, how the tables have turned.
Just three weeks ago, liberals and academics were being accused of being intolerant when they incited a near riot at UC Berkeley to keep that douchebag Milo from speaking there and spewing his hate-filled rhetoric.
Now, conservatives wanna get religion. It’s funny, because a spokesman for the National Review was criticizing CPAC for putting themselves in the position to be “censor” in the first place, by riding with Milo “in the interest of free speech”. Apparently a few principled conservatives (there are a handful) simply couldn’t stomach Milo’s nonsense and refused to be associated with him. I guess there’s hope for them yet.
Just as FYI on this, he was apparently going to out a bunch of undocumented students at that UC Berkeley talk, and the protesters very strategically and carefully did the minimum (fire, breaking a window) to get get the protest classified as a “riot” so the talk would be cancelled and those students wouldn’t get publicly revealed. He did the same to a trans woman student at another campus talk – it’s his MO on his campus tour. He picks some student or students who are marginalized in one of the ways he disapproves of and he holds them up to public ridicule, displays revealing information about them on the giant screens, doxxes them, speaks derisively of them, and so forth. He and his team mine the internet for all kinds of details and then present them – it’s not legally actionable because it’s true, and he is allowed to say in public how much he loathes people of various types and use all manner of slurs against them because that is protected speech in the US.
Also worth noting, the student orgs that invite him are branches of Turning Point USA, which is funded by a hyper-conservative Trump supporter. They’re not real student organizations so much as they are one or two kids who use the org money to invite Yiannopolous and his ilk. They’re also the org that maintains the Professor Watchlist, which is some chilling order of nonsense that catalogues profs they think are too liberal or too pc or whatever the hell.
Oh my god! O_O
I’m so fucking sick of people saying “but, but, but free speech!” You know what free speech is? It means the government can’t shut you up. It does not mean that we, the people, have to listen to your racist, asshole bullshit, Milo.
He is a disgusting article who should have been side-lined a long, long time ago. How anyone can agree with anything he says beyond hello is just baffling.
Festofaw, I was going to ask “Who/what the heck is a Milo Yannipolooza (sp)?” But o shey, Luvvie for reading my thoughts. And now that I know, whatever I had coming at him has been covered by this article. The only thing to add is that it is very unfortunate but people have to and do exist to keep the rest of us on our toes. Otherwise how do you explain him, his behaviour and disease of diarrhea mouth? So racism and all other forms of ‘ismz’ this clown has perpetuated mean nothing until now…ok o.
Forgive me, Luvvie, as I do not normally post on your blog and do not know the protocol. I say this as a gay white woman who has enjoyed and acknowledges her enjoyment of skin color privilege:
This guy is the gay equivalent of Uncle Tom.
Thanks for calling him Uncle Ruckus.
In the future, look to self-hating LGBT people to be referred to as Milos!
I did not know this Milo guy was the one who harassed Leslie Jones on twitter until I saw him on Bill Maher’s show. Since he is a college venue performer at heart, I thought I understood Bill’s stance on free speech and why he booked him on his show. But I saw the interview and it was just ridiculously incoherent! The Milo guy is simply a vile twit! My gosh, he even made having Anne Coulter as a guest seem acceptable! There should be a special media whore section of hell for the likes of him, kelly conway and that blonde tomi chick from the blaze.
…and let us not forget that djtrump was also scheduled to speak at the same CPAC event as Milo. You would think trump, the father of a young boy, and of a daughter and son-in-law (who are Jewish) would pull his coat tail on that!
Surely you jest?! #45 doing the right thing? Naw bruh! It just ain’t in him.
Note that the reason why the CPAC folks rebelled in the first place and published the video of Milo declaring the joy of child molesting was that they were mad at their leadership for allowing a GAY to be keynote speaker. That’s why they chose to go with the outrage against pedophilia angle when they came for him. In their Johnny just come horror at, oh my word, how terrible this Milo character is, these “principled conservatives” also wanted to sprinkle around some justification for their despicable belief that homosexuals are pedophiles. So, that’s another parting gift Milo bestowed upon the world. We now have to start throwing hands with fools who use his nonsense to claim that homosexuality is pedo-friendly.
Amens and amens! He and Tomi Lahren need to take a permanent vacation from public life.
Yes, yes, yes!!! All of this. I love you. ❤????????????????
Fuck Bill Maher for being the whitest white man to care so much about free speech. Coms da fuckons. Milo needs to GO AWAY not be given a platform. He is hate filled to his very core. Free speech does not mean we have to listen to his fucking boooooolsheeet. And I am just spitting here with gleerage that he was censored by all these “straight talk” loving fuckwads.
Bill O’Reilly accused a kidnapping/rape victim of liking it, and yet Bill O’Reilly is still a thing. Better PR team than Milo, I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ http://mediamatters.org/research/2007/01/17/oreilly-abducted-child-liked-his-circumstances/137753
There is no better ending to a “be careful what you wish for” cautionary tale than Milo still being allowed to speak at CPAC. I hope he takes the entire right down in his dumpster fire of a personality.
I had never heard of this Milo character until I saw him on Bill Maher’s show. At first I kept saying is this guy for real (Milo) I honestly thought it was a joke until I kept listening to his incoherently bullshiggty and thought why in the hell would Bill have this demented character on his show. What in the hell hole are these people crawling out of and why hasn’t that hole been cemented yet??
Luvvie, you wrote “because he’s a white man.” I’m adding, “with a British accent.” We can’t forget that part.
I think he is disgusting. He’s an incarnate demon in a human body. I don’t get how anyone can be so vicious and hateful.
I DO think that they should investigate him since he mentioned his thing for young boys to make sure he’s not molesting kids.
“Milo Yiannopoulous is trash and I hope he goes down in a blaze of glory.”
I’d rather it be that ignominious “pffft” that occurs when a firecracker is determined to be a dud.
Clapping so hard right now.
You are the bomb Luvvie, and so is your column which I follow on FB. I’m white as hell, but always seeking knowledge and destruction of my internalized paradigms. I agree with you, Milo is a very bad person, transphobic, sexist, racist, opportunistic bottom feeder, privileged by whiteness, etc. and should be completely boycotted from public discourse.
Here’s the question that came to my mind: what is your perspective on misogynistic rap/rappers? Not meaning to be offensive. Thanks…
What do rappers have to do with this situation? Different conversation. If a rapper tried to take his misogyny and turn it into public policy, then that’s a legit question to ask.
There you go. Thanks, that’s what I was looking for, some mind expansion here.:-)
My Mom had this to say about Milo, “I think he needs to be institutionalized—he has some serious mental issues.
He hates women, democrats, black people—but, dates a black man.. He hates birds, ice cream, toddlers with a lisp–
and the occasional bbq potato chip. The man is nuts.” I died!!!!
As a white, straight, atheist cis-woman, and actually in the midst of reading your book now (loving it too), I can only say BRAVO. Bravo for making people stand up & speak up! I ordered my “Black Lives Matter” t-shirt today after reading pages 72-74, I was always worried that black people would be offended if it was worn by white people, but you made me see it differently. Thank you. Keep up calling out bullshit when you see it. People are listening!
And for that self-hating loser Milo: hope he gets flushed down the drain with all the rest of the shit we’re dealing with now.
Let me tell you why this post is awesome (for reasons beyond the obvious): You expanded the hell out of my lexicon. I legit Googled “Uncle Ruckus,” “summagoat,” “Darth Chad,” and “bool sheet.” Thank you for keeping me real(ish).
White male patriarchy and their false sense of supremacy is going to be the death of us all. – Amen, ache and praise Black Jesus for the statement of the century.
WHELP. Now you can say that he “wrote” for Breitbart, cuz lil Milo here just *cough* resigned today.
Olhando o site do cirque du soleil, fiquei meio perdido.
Well at least Larry Wilborn told him to “Go f**k himself.” I am hoping he gets punched in the face multiple times until he bleeds from his ears. Yiannopolis is vomitus.
I find it ironic as hell that Milo is gay. He’s quite possibly the biggest cunt I’ve ever come across
All I can say is, God don’t like ugly, and karma is a badass bitch. That MoFo got what was coming to him, and it could have come sooner. His “career” is in ruins, and NO ONE is coming to this bastard’s aid. I have loathed him since the Leslie Jones mess, and I am so glad he has been shot down.
I was so sad to see him on Bill Maher. I understand that he wanted to give the guy a chance to talk things out, and hopefully see that he isn’t as bad as he may be on the internet but when I watched the whole show I was so taken aback. This guy is an asshole to the nth degree. I am so glad Larry Wilmore told him to go and F**K himself. Best piece of advice he has ever been given. He has either resigned or was fired from Breibart as well. I guess they have some sort of limit.
