    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

    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.

    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".
    Thanks for that. Next, sports...

    Holy hell I literally gave you a link to one.

    But, just incase you missed it:
    https://mobile.twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/564664734268411906

    February 2015.
    'Lord have mercy...white people ****'


    But no, it's ok, she's the poor damsel in distress :pac:
    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.

    Funny old website, this - http://www.lemmetweetthatforyou.com/

    That's not a link. I can see you don't want to talk about the other tweets you were happy to claim were hers either.

    Oh, and look at the date on this - https://s31.postimg.org/4s1d7ep7v/lesdoggg.png! Wow, what are the odds! She must have known you'd be posting about her two and a half years later.

    So feel free to link to the other tweets you were happy to accuse her of, or just admit that you were duped like a gullible eejit. Or... do what everyone reading this post knows you will do, which is try to change the subject or shift the goalposts. If you respond of course.

    Yiannopoulos wrote this. The hypocritical shįt.

    The guy writes about being scared of his place as a gay man because of Muslim immigrants, while also writing that gay men should shut up and get back in the closet, lead double lives etc.

    Hypocrisy is his game, because he knows his audience well. Anything that fuels their fears and prejudices is going to get clicked on, because there is no need to ask about the authors consistencies when you are busy having that bias reconfirmed to you over and over again.

    Lol I'm a gullible eejit. Jesus man take a look in the mirror....
    You made a fake tweet that I pointed out as bull****, because you couldn't put the "fake" date on it. Yet the those evil racists photoshopped theirs, oh yes siree, no doubt a comedian who peddles in shock and vulgarity (and does so humorously well tbf) could EVER come out with that stuff.

    And what am I supposed to gather about your response? @Renegade Master? What??? :confused:

    No way her or her managers/higher up would see the hypocrisy and decide as many of these posts need taking down as possible, noooo sir.

    You posted a fake tweet, to prove the tweets I'd shown along with a link to another were fake. But the date on your example was for today. Unlike my "fakes" which were taken through time/a search by equally stubborn people on the opposite side to you, before they could be chopped.

    Yeah, I'm the eejit :rolleyes:

    For the exact same reason people can't assume he was banned from Twitter for anything at all other than Twitter didn't like him. Works both ways.

    There we are, as predicted.

    So which was it... did you know the tweets were made up, were you duped like a gullible eejit, or are you going to actually link to those tweets you put in the attachment to you post.
    You made a fake tweet that I pointed out as bull****, because you couldn't put the "fake" date on it.
    Except I could. And I did. February 11th, 2014 to be precise.
    Yet the those evil racists photoshopped theirs, oh yes siree, no doubt a comedian who peddles in shock and vulgarity (and does so humorously well tbf) could EVER come out with that stuff.
    Not photoshopped, literally used 'fake tweet' websites like the one I linked to. Here it is again. http://www.lemmetweetthatforyou.com/

    Funny how you are going out of your way to pretend that website isn't a think.

    The date. It says Feb 11, 2014. Because you can edit the date. But you knew that already. Here is the link again, feel free to pretend it isn't here - https://s31.postimg.org/4s1d7ep7v/lesdoggg.png .

    No, the link on mine shows Feb 11, 2014. You know this because the date was something you were so eager to point out in the first one I made. Strange how you seem to have neglected to look at it on the second one. Here is a link to it again, and as you can see... it is dated Feb 11, 2014 - https://s31.postimg.org/4s1d7ep7v/lesdoggg.png
    Yeah, I'm the eejit :rolleyes:
    Evidently, given that you got duped so easily by fake tweets.

    ^Thats good, I laughed, the woman is obviously sharp as a tack.

    I'm not the gullible eejit here. I stand by my opinions on this horse ****. It's publicity, nothing more. Leslie Jones is perfectly fine. I'll just sit back and laugh at the real "gullible eejits" :)

    I don't think either of them are in the slightest bit funny.
    And only one of them has made any actual recorded racist comments... but that's OK apparently because she's a comedian.
    Why did the chicken cross the road? Because all Jews should be gassed.

    the bit of that picture I feel went over his head was that he is making fun of a fat person(never right) while the guy is in the gym trying to lose weight

    Exactly. Now I'd not be someone who is going to "fat shame" another person because a) it is of zero personal impact and concern to me and b) I'm not that much of a cunt. To take a pic ridiculing somebody making that kind of effort? Moron. Like that recent pic tweeted by some Playboy "model" of a fat lass at her gym. Yeah like your life of getting your genetically lucky tits and fanny out makes the world a better place. Moron. That Milo posts a pic like that considering his American audience where a goodly proportion of the good oul boys and gals are going to be the size of small moons…

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Hit the nail on the head. He's like some wannabe Christopher Hitchens spouting off what he considers to be witticisms but failing miserably and claiming everyone's just too sensitive to appreciate his genius.

    That's not fair either. None of them are racist. Hackneyed, lazy, unoriginal, yes, yes and yes. But if you genuinely think Leslie Jones HATES white people you're delusional. She works on SNL, which is about 99% produced and written by white people and she's often accused of cooning and being a minstrel, so she can't win.

    I think everyone needs to be a lot more cautious before they brand someone a racist, it's used far too liberally nowadays.

    LOL no, how did you infer that from what I said. I don't think Milo or Leslie should've been banned. Why are you jumping to conclusions?
