What happened? I find him quite funny even though I disagree with him on a number of issues. He didn't really bring much to Bill Maher's show other than entertainment a few nights ago.

Well, good to know both sides can still agree on the issue of pederasty.

Also, finding it a little ironic that a guy who built his name and fanbase on criticizing how the left limit free speech is suffering backlash from his former supporters because of some things he said.

If this was 10-15 years ago he probably would be done. But he has a cult-like following in the internet and nothing can penetrate through that nowadays. People don't trust the news media much anymore and deservedly so. They have been known to twist things to make it appear like someone is a racist or anti-semitic like they just did with Pewdiepie.

Doesn't have an honest argument in his feeble brain, lives for controversy and now it's came back to bite him in the ass.

Videos of him saying some questionable things re pedophilia. I saw the interviews a while back and have mixed feelings because he's a victim of childhood sexual abuse himself, so I don't exactly think I'm in a place to judge how he processes. However, I can completely see why people have such a problem with his comments, which are utterly wrongheaded at best, disgusting at worst
Not surprised to see the backlash happening. This is coming from someone who defended him over his Twitter ban too. Not surprised this end up occurring either. With how much controversy he generates, it was bound to happen. Although there'll always be a cult of supporters for him.

He's an entertaining guy, and I feel bad for him, but he was pretty overrated. Ben Shapiro is much better.

I'm a long-time fan of The Drunken Peasants, and I remember watching this interview live over a year ago. I'm honestly surprised it took this long to gain media attention.
I don't like Milo and I certainly don't agree with what he said here, but I think some of his points are being misconstrued. He's being painted as a pedophile by many people right now, and that's simply false- he was talking about a personal experience he had when he was 13. And is no one stopping to think that maybe, just maybe, he got a little fucked up from it? That he's repressing some shit? I dunno, I just think this is almost veering into victim-blaming territory. In any case, I'd implore you all to watch the whole interview to get the full context.

I also used to watch DP quite a bit (now stopped, mostly because I find Paul obnoxious), but thinking back to it I remember the interview as well. I agree with your assessment of the situation.

The fact that the word pedophile come up about what he said is having is views being misconstrued and exaggerated, he is being extremely clear in the video that he would never support or defend a pedophile.
I don't find him entertaining and he tend to loose is cool even if he want to play the guy that don't care or love it (like on Maher), so I do not really care. Is there a reason those old interview come up, just because of how much he was on the media the last 2 month I imagine ?

Oh he's fucked alright. I'm just pissed that it gives TYT a slight hint of credibility.

Such is the price you pay when you make a career out of being a troll. I could entertain the idea that he was taken out of context, but he made his own bed and how he's sleeping in it.

ding dong.
what i love the most about this is that this also underscores the far rights hypocrisy over "free speech." demonstrating that speech should only be defended when it fits their agenda. if you're going to advocate for a complete and total right to speak about anything and everything, suck it up and live with the consequences. under their logic milo should have a right to advocate for pedophilia. you can't draw arbitrary lines around what is permissible and impermissible.

Now that Trump is in power and linked to Breitbart (using it and showing printed article in interviews on Fox News, having Bannon in is team), I imagine that they will clean it and remove element if they go to far off of their agenda.
But yeah if saying that it should be legal for certain 13-14 year's to have sex with adults is the line, that is really strange, that is something legal in many jurisdiction around the world (it was legal in Canada for 14 year's old to have sex with 30, 40, 50 year's old that had no position of authority on them 10 year's ago), it is still legal in Italy and many country in Europe. It is far from the most controversial stuff he said and a strange place to draw the line of free speech.

Jesus Christ are you that dense? That's not his point at all. He completely advocates for criticism. He's outed 3 pedophiles in the past. When he goes on his diatribe about free speech, it's about what goes on in college campuses like Berkeley where they try and shut down people speaking because they don't like it. They even resort to a riot.

He said he resigned himself. I also don't think advocates for people to not having to face social consequences for what they say.
