Simon & Schuster cancels book deal with Milo Yiannopoulos
Washington Times ^

Posted on 02/20/2017 2:48:00 PM PST by TigerClaws

First CPAC, now Simon & Schuster.

Milo Yiannopoulos lost a second gig Monday afternoon over his remarks defending underage pederasty, when Simon & Schuster cancelled plans to publish a book by the gay conservative provocateur this summer.

Adam Rothberg of the publisher’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter Monday afternoon.

“After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos,” Mr. Rothberg wrote.

“Dangerous,” a title playing off of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” had been set by a June 13 release by Threshold, the conservative- Yiannopoulos was recently disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference after a podcast emerged in which he appeared to endorse sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.

He said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships. And even if they are sexual in nature can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents".

Yiannopoulos' $250,ooo book deal was met with significant criticism because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform.

“He doesnt seem to have any real friends, and trades the boys in like playing cards. No one who has ever worked with him, likes him.”

And you know this.....how?

>So, you have trouble with my language but not Milo’s?! How naïve can you get?

I have trouble with your degenerate behavior. I also have trouble with Milo’s degenerate behavior, but at least he’s serving a purpose attacking the left. You on the other hand have turned the cannons on your own side in the service of the left. If you want to purge Milo I’m fine with that, but do it a time when the left isn’t trying to destroy him.

This piece reads as if it was written by someone with English as a second language.

I would expect that they are doing what leftists do when there is a problem. they lie low instead of eating their own.

Smart move

I've always liked what I've heard from Milo, until these remarks on pedophilia surfaced - he's been a real and effective force against political correctness and the liberal orthodoxy. But pedophilia and child sexual abuse are not subjects to play semantic games with, and what Milo said is clear:

"Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature."

He's dead wrong. That's exactly what pedophilia is. I hope he is able to recover his hard-won credibility, but I need to see real evidence that he understands how wrong his stated views on pedophilia are and that he sincerely does not believe them anymore.

Maybe it is the truth that he enjoyed it, but it is still desperately wrong. Evil and things that are very destructive often bring pleasure.

Being a homosexual, especially one abused as a child, he is likely to be confused about sexual relationships, and how to think about them. It is part of the “sickness” of it. He said he wants to come out of it. This will mean getting his head on really straight from a holy perspective concerning his past and present views about what it means to come clean before God concerning sex.

If he truly repents then there is room to forgive him and give him a second chance. Unless someone was sexually violated as he was at only 13 we cannot understañd how it may affect them, or how it may have affected us given the same circumstances.

He seems to be struggling against this sin. Sometimes we come out from a sin all at once and sometimes it is a longer process. Let’s pray for him. Again, if he truly repents let’s forgive him.

“That is here, where it qualifies as bad jokes. “

Nope.

I was watching Gavin McGinnis interview Tucker Carson a couple of weeks ago, and they said it was part of the normal process of how some young men learned how to be with women.

I will concede that it has become very hard to discern what Milo actually believes, partly because of leftist lies, partly because of his own need to be provocative and controversial.

To come clean, Milo must reveal who “Father Michael” is and report him to the police.

If Milo was a victim of Father Michael, there are other victims and Milo is protecting Father Michael.

Here’s an eye-popper from rolling stone, which oddly offers no politics, just dish:

He has now clarified 3 times what he thinks about pedophilia. Why doesnt the side he has been fighting for and winning give him the benefit of the doubt and support him instead of handing his head to the Left?

"There’s a thread today on Breitbart firing him."

I haven't seen anything on Breitbart to that effect.

Pretty obvious now that this was a coordinated attack.

The videos released were by "conservatives", not liberals.

Now liberals probably fed the videos to the "conservatives" because they are threatened as well by someone in the protected homosexual class who goes against their mantra.

While I vehemently disagree with his take on this issue, I sincerely hope he can remain a positive voice for conservatism, and more importantly, upsetting the political correctness apple cart.

Does anyone know exactly when these videos were created? Was it recently or several years ago?

He wants to come out of it? Where? Every You Tube video I've seen he talks happily about being sodomized by large black men - which he seems to think means he's liberal on race in the same way abolitionists were in the 19th century.

What planet are some of you living on?

The worst thing a liberal can do to a conservative is accuse them of acting like a member of the Democrat Party base.

Yes, I’ve noticed all the nevertrumpers coming out of the woodwork. Do you suppose they will ever go away?

Milo is in big trouble. I really liked him. Wonder what he does next. Basically he’s over.

Milo was on earlier. He explained that he did indeed give an interview about a year and a half ago but it bor no resemblance to the recently downloaded version. It was achop and paste job not u like the 911 call nbc altered in the Zimmerman case. It looks, also, like Even McMullen had a hand in it as well. As always, never trust the opening salvo in a news report. Wait for the facts to roll in. You can surely find his version of it on his site or probably at Breitbart.
