You don't think the thread title involves any spin? You don't think the whole furore is as a result of any spin? You kinda flip-flop here (or at least, aren't coming over very clearly, at least to me), as you state in that quote you don't think he is advocating pedophilia (I knew you didn't anyway), but also ask 'where's the spin?' when I posit that this whole drama is based on it.

I did, which is why I explicitly stated: "...about his personal experience"

I agree, and stated "If people can't see the context of that exchange" in regards to exactly what you just said.

So to be clear; you don't think Milo is advocating pedophilia - what is it then he is guilty of in this exchange?

So I'm clear: I agree with a lot of what he says/does, and disagree strongly with plenty, don't take this as some kind of saving-my-hero situation.

I guess I'm just equal parts bored/fascinated with the way people are so easily manipulated, in a wide range of matters. Like I said in another thread, if I had a slightly different moral compass I'd be all over this type of shit, seems pretty lucrative.
Milo is a diversion & a scapegoat.

Trump is making the GOP look like a bunch of immoral fucksticks. Slaughtering Milo makes it seem like the GOP has morals again. Milo is low hanging fruit. From a Gay perspective it's GOP business as usual, fucking over the LGBT's nothing new.

All sides are gonna spin Milo for their needs.

Milo is a big boy, he fucked up opening up about his underage sexual experience and trying to make it seem edgy by contrasting his abusers perspective of being attracted to underage victims. Milo is guilty of publicly trying to understand his abusers perspective and normalize it, that's what victims do. His abuser happened to be a priest and that's pissed off Catholics & the church because it's yet another story of pedophile priests. He didn't do anything wrong, just socially toxic.

He might pay a big price if he doesn't publicly get ahead of the story & settle it correctly at his press conference tomorrow. Live by the sword die by the sword.
