Twitter permanently suspends Milo Yiannopoulos over row with 'Ghostbusters' actress

I don't think any of those tweets are fake. The fake ones were over the top offensive about gassing gay people. Tbf, people are trying to recast her as some sort of SJW purely because she was in Ghostbusters. She's a comedian and she's tweeted a few risqué things. Big swinging mickey, name me a comedian that hasn't. It's not in any way comparable to the the torrent of abuse that she was getting.

How does this professional attention-seeker get to describe his muppetry as 'conservative' without being called out on it?

I thought being conservative would include modesty, decorum, treating people with respect, good manners, an aversion ostentatious language/behaviour etc?

Milo Yappynappyass is the antithesis of the above.

Conservatism is also the ideology which that Breitshart site he writes for espouses, i.e. free markets, closed borders, continuing the War on Drugs (as long as it fucks over brown people, of course), One Nation Under God (but not that "Allah" fucker!) etc.

Plus, those things you listed didn't exactly stop the likes of conservative pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck declaring themselves as such.

A Little Pony

Any racial abuse towards her is a disgrace.

I still don't think that should detract from just what a shower of utter ****e the movie was and the huge feminist overtones in it. They didn't even cover the agenda up that well in the movie as seen by the crotch seen.

They treated the men in the movie like absolute idiots. It was arguably one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Yeah, she definitely deserves all the abuse she's getting after that tweet. As a white person, I think I represent us all when I say how utterly offended I am by this. Sniff…

I can see how Milo gets up the back of certain people. He's, loud, cocky, camp, abrasive.

I've been aware of him for a couple of years at this stage. If you can get past the above traits I mentioned he's actually a fascinating guy to listen to, he's not afraid to speak inconvenient truths and apply facts and logic when critiquing some of the crazy 'SJW' culture (He has expression that "sunlight is the best disinfectant"). He doesn't run away from his political opponents, he challenges them to debate him.

He has faced down incredible hatred on his recent Speaking Tour of US college campuses. Regressive leftists have tried every trick in the book to get him shut down.

Give one of his talks a chance, even if you don't agree with his politics he's a chap who is worth listening to.

I'm not saying she deserves it, FFS.
I couldn't care less if she literally came out and said whitey must hang from the trees. Honestly, I'd laugh.

I'm saying she needs to get over herself now that she got it. She's clearly capable of it.

But then that wouldn't generate the much required publicity for what's probably going to be the most painful, forced film this decade now, would it

Never heard of Milo until today but his banning from Twitter seems like bull****. What he tweeted didn't warrant a ban and his review of the movie pretty much matches up with what alot of other reviewers are saying. When you consider the vile personal attacks the likes of Kayne West frequently sprout on his twitter account, yet is still allowed on the platform, this banning seems off.

Milo was temp banned several times and continued like nothing had happened. And now he is surprised that the private company doesn't like him anymore. He has no right to be on twitter.

Maybe its time private companies that own social media platforms get held to a different set of rules then. Twitter and Facebook are the only way the real horror and truth of what goes on in some countries, ever gets brought to light and are to important these days to just fall under the " the owner has the right to do as they please" line that alot of other businesses can operate under.

Mind you. You could say the same about Boards, in a smaller slightly more parochial context.

The number of times I've been infracted/warned/banned/had threads closed for quite minor transgressions leads me to conclude that Milo would have been permabanned from here long ago if he had deigned to grace this site with his presence.

Milos behaviour was detrimental to the business, put yourself in twitters feet, would you keep an abusive customer after several warnings?

Milo exists to annoy and expose SJWs, which he does extremely well. Being offensive with the hope of desensitizing people is what he does. He believes that we live in a world where feeling coming before everything else and he's correct on that.

Most poster here seem to be attacking his character instead of actually pointing out how he is wrong. Don't get me wrong Milo can be wrong, but the core of what he's saying is usually right.

I'd honestly rather a arrogant asshole telling me the truth than some polite liberals lying through their teeth to further their agenda.

Take a look at the man's Facebook. He says he is a wind up merchant a la Hopkins. He has a simple yet surprisingly successful agenda - be controversial and earn money. He literally has a photo of himself holding a few thousand dollars, the sad act. Not too long after Nice attack he was making jokes about gun control and trucks to cater to his southern state yokels.

You're more than welcome to go to his blog. Twitter is a privately owned company that has terms and conditions. He broke those conditions. Those rules affect everyone, not just him. He knew what the rules were, he broke them time and time again. This suspension wasn't out of the blue.

If you feel that a site like twitter shouldn't have those rules, go set up your own. Or just don't use twitter. Same goes for this site. This site has far stricter rules. The rules are necessary otherwise it'd descend into the chaos that is 4chan.

Fellow seems like a bit of a tool. Twitter isn't a right, they can ban anyone they like. People won't use it if it bothers them.

Cant twitter just claim they banned him because of their deeply held religious beliefs and they dont want to support his lifestyle? Should confuse his fans for awhile.

Yiannopoulos wrote this. The hypocritical shįt.

So perhaps what’s needed now is a bolder form of censure after all, because the internet is not a universal human right. If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed. For sure, the best we could ever hope for is a smattering of unpopular show trials. But if the internet, ubiquitous as it now is, proves too dangerous in the hands of the psychologically fragile, perhaps access to it ought to be restricted. We ban drunks from driving because they’re a danger to others. Isn’t it time we did the same to trolls? - See more at: http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/yiannopoulos/3359/the-internet-is-turning-us-all-into-sociopaths/#sthash.kOyvlih1.dpuf

He is certainly not 'the voice of reason' people think he is. He decrys the use of 'irrational' emotion by using emotional, irrational language and generalization. Such as referring to people who disagree as idiots and such. He is an arrogant narcicistic clown. He is no Christopher Hitchens.

So the sum of the proof provided by the professionally offended army here that this guy was "orchestrating" a hate campaign is "I wanted him banned too".

I googled February 8th, 2015 and couldn't come up with anything. Is there any context to this tweet or what it is related to be? Because it is clearly in response to something, but it would be interesting to see what before judging. I was hoping one of the dozens (hundreds?) of comments on it would help me out here, but no... the very first reply to it was July 18th, 2016. Almost a year and a half after the tweet, which is... interesting.

Now, how about linking to all the other tweets you were happy to sarcastically claim she was 'hacked' for. Here, you can start with this one.
