The Milo Yiannopolous Thread

[pErvinalia]

People who like him still like him,

No they don't. Doesn't news reach your mum's basement?

was is ever thus.

In English?

[Scot Dutchy]

It is a long way down.

[pErvinalia]

His mum probably has to censor the news for him first.

Calling a Jewish faggot who likes sucking black cock a Nazi shows that you are officially a retard, was is ever thus.

It's true that he's a sexual and ethnic minority Uncle Tomming for neo-Nazis. I fail to see why that should insulate him from criticism.

Court documents filed in the US have revealed the editorial concerns of the publisher Simon & Schuster about the manuscript of the “alt-right” controversialist Milo Yiannopoulos’s autobiography Dangerous.

Having reportedly secured the book for an advance of $255,000 (£200,000), Simon & Schuster cancelled the deal in February after a recording emerged that appeared to show Yiannopoulos endorsing sex between “younger boys” and older men.

In July, Yiannopoulos set out to sue Simon & Schuster for $10m for breach of contract. As part of the case, Simon & Schuster have submitted documents that reveal the problems they had with the book. Among other criticisms, the publisher’s notes say Yiannopoulos needed a “stronger argument against feminism than saying that they are ugly and sexless and have cats” and that another chapter needs “a better central thesis than the notion that gay people should go back in the closet”.

In addition to the documents, a full copy of an early manuscript of the book, complete with the Simon & Schuster editor Mitchell Ivers’s notes, is available to download from the New York state courts’ website....

You shouldn't traduce Yiannopoulos that way. The people he hires to do his writing for him are the actual literary non-geniuses.

"Two people write Breitbart stuff for me," he told BuzzFeed News, but "ghostwriting is too great a word." He said that the majority of his interns are researchers and that some write speeches for him. "I have two books coming out this year," he said. "It's completely standard for someone with a career like mine to have researchers and assistants and ghostwriters."
