I doubt you’ll find one. The video I posted fairly encapsulates what happened. A group of students at Yale University - _some of the most privileged people in the world_ - started yelling, screaming, and, in one case, literally breaking down in tears, because couldn’t handle the idea that someone might wear a Sombrero to a Halloween party. The video itself lacks context. This wasn’t about someone who “couldn’t handle the idea that someone might wear a Sombrero to a Halloween party.” What did the email say? The email is part of the context that is missing here. > [@](#): > > Classic SJW. Classic MRA. > [@](#): > > The videos demonstrate one thing. SJWs aren’t “mythical”. Here’s another: [SJWs disrupt Milo lecture](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6pIhwBgvmU) by spreading fake period blood over themselves and yelling abuse until they’re dragged out by security. You keep posting videos of people protesting. What makes them SJW’s? Are they wrong to protest? Anita Sarkessian is called an SJW all the time. But she doesn’t spread fake period blood over herself and yell abuse. What makes her an SJW? > [@](#): > > The first link didn’t actually show much of anything. I scrolled down through about ten pages and I saw a bunch of juvenile fat jokes. That’s a pretty low bar for “harassment”. You stopped after ten pages? Here’s a clue you dimwit: if your twitter feed is brigaded with over ten pages of juvenile fat jokes you are being harassed. Because it then becomes nearly impossible to use twitter as intended and your feed is taken completely out of your control. And they just aren’t clogging the twitter feeds, they are sending emails, flooding facebook feeds and making phone calls. Thank goodness for the blockbot. > [@](#): > > I’m no expert on gamergate. Computer games aren’t really my thing. Gamergate actually had very little to do with video games at all. It started when the jilted ex-boyfriend of an indy developer posted a “tell-all expose” of their relationship. This led the worst elements of the gaming community, real life misogynists, and trolls like Milo to rally behind the hashtag “gamergate”. And under the umbrella of gamergate these worst elements, the real life misogynists, and the trolls made life miserable for many people by harassing, sea-lioning, and just by being trolling trolls. And when called out on it they hid behind the veil of "ethics in games journalism. > [@](#): > > I’ll happily take your word on this. It doesn’t change the fact that some people disagreed, and those people were harassed by Harper’s followers. By your own argument, that makes her just as bad as Milo. Harper makes it clear that she doesn’t want her followers harassing people. Just last night she was arguing with someone, one of her followers retweeted the guys handle and she told them not to so he didn’t get dogpiled. > Harper doesn’t come close to being in the same neighbourhood as being as bad as Milo. > [@](#): > > According to the article, he was also doxxed by some of Harper’s followers. Which follower was it? Milo knows who it was. Rather than choosing to put the blame where it rightly belongs (with the doxxer) he blames Randi. > [@](#): > > According to the article, his wife started receiving death threats from some of Harper’s followers. Didn’t you just finish saying to me “Yiannopoulos isn’t responsible for the actions of the people who follow him on Twitter.?” I’ve agreed with that. So why is Harper now responsible for the actions of her followers? > [@](#): > > I googled “Harper Wadhwa Amazon Review” and I actually found it. Here’s the full text of the “review” > > \*"The author Vivek Wadhwa spends his time **harassing women on twitter** when they try to call him out on his approaches to feminism. He’s not interested in inviting conversation, but instead thinks it’s acceptable to **intimidate and silence women** from his book’s twitter account when criticism is directed at his personal account. He’s using feminism to profit, and not because he actually believes in empowering women. This is despicable behavior, and it’s been confirmed by multiple women at this point. > > If you want to read about how to empower women, actually buy a book that has a woman listed first on the cover, at the very least. Even the highlighted review on his website is by a man. Men that are actually trying to help feminism don’t profit off of it, financially or with cred. They empower women’s voices and amplify them. **While this may be a collection of contributions by women, Vivek’s behavior online casts doubt on his intentions.** > > No, thanks. I already know what it’s like to be an empowered woman in tech, and to have men like Vivek Wadhwa speaking down to me."\* > > I’m no expert, but if those allegations can’t be substantiated they’d pretty much fit the textbook definition of libel. Those allegations can actually be substantiated so they actually aren’t libel. But I have the advantage over you as I’ve followed the Vivek story and you haven’t. So feel free to go do your own research. > [@](#): > > That’s a subjective value judgement, not a fact. Well as “hit piece” really doesn’t have a definition I’ll go with the Urban Dictionary top choice: > **[Urban Dictionary: hit piece](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hit%20piece)** > > an attempt to turn public opinion against someone/something through the appearance of objective reporting or editorializing. “An attempt to turn public opinion against someone/something through the appearance of objective reporting or editorializing.” In the cited article Milo went into the specifics of the cases of four people: only two of the four were actually interviewed and one of them probably doesn’t really exist. The purpose of the article was to turn public opinion against Harper and Milo did that by writing an article that had the appearances of being “objective”: it at least managed to fool you. So I think “hit piece” is an appropriate objective description of the article. > [@](#): > > You _implied_ it. Or, at the very least, your sloppy writing left room for a reasonable person to infer it. In your first sentence you accused Milo of both “contributing” to, and personally engaging in, online harassment. In the _very next sentence_ you cited a specific instance of harassment and blamed his followers (assuming, of course, they _are_ his followers, which has yet to be proven). If you honestly think there’s no room for a reasonable person to infer that Milo “contributed” to the harassment of Lesley Jones, you’re deluding yourself. Actually I wasn’t sloppy with my writing at all. I was being quite particular when I crafted that sentence. It was a rhetorical trap that I set up which you fell right into. > [@](#): > > If that wasn’t what you meant, fine. I’ll take your word for it.

There’s a link to the full hour and fifteen minute video in the bit you quoted. That crazy SJW wasn’t ranting for five seconds. She was ranting for a good half-hour before security finally managed to get her out. My original critique of your original post was your posting a 5 second clip as if that meant anything. Posting more context later on doesn’t change the nature of the original critique, which I stand by. > [@](#): > > I’m not saying I agree with everything they say. Indeed, I disagree with most of it. I’m just pointing out that only an SJW would think screaming “KEEP YOUR HATE SPEECH OFF THIS CAMPUS” would be a valid response to an argument against the idea of the gender wage gap. People like that are obnoxious bullies. Milo makes fun of them in ways which a lot of people find amusing. Gamergate was the worst thing to happen to women on the internet since the internet began. It was a sustained period of hate that has only just begun to taper off now. And Milo was at the centre of it all, fueling the fire. They weren’t screaming at him because he was “talking about the wage gap.” For goodness sakes get a clue. > [@](#): > > That, to drag this back to the OP, is why I think a lot of people like him.

There’s all kinds of shit on Twitter, because, despite what Breitart is pushing, Twitter is not anti-free speech (although as a private company, they’re not bound by the first amendment, obviously.) The difference is that the various “kill the cops” examples are general sentiments expressed as political speech by individuals. Actual Free Speech advocates (which Breitbart is not) would understand that. OTOH, Twitter is against using it’s platform for hate brigades against specific people. Milo and his idiot fans launching a brigade targeting one specific person is weaponized harassment. Twitter is, quite naturally, against behavior that drives users off their platforms. They are also against having their platform used as an attack vector by hate groups. All of that is bad for business. Just like every other company on the internet, Twitter is under no obligation to allow hate groups to launch endless streams of abuse at specific individual users. If Ben Baller and all their fans were private and direct messaging a specific person with their kill cops rhetoric, they would get banned, too. Just posting their own general ideas about their feelings on their own stream is not the same thing. ---

Ban them all or allow them all. …ya know, when you see another breaking the rules here on the dope we are instructed to report the offending posts. The person who wrote this article on Breitbart goes to lengths to explain to us twice that the offending tweets are still online. But not once do they say that they reported the tweets. Do you roll your eyes when you go to ATMB and someone complains about moderator inaction only to find out they never reported the infraction? Breitbart is doing the exact same thing: only they are doing it on purpose. The longer the “offending posts” stay online the longer the better it is for Breitbart and they know it. And what do you know. It looks like some of those tweets are gone. So either the authors deleted them or they got reported and then taken down. But none of those tweeters come close to the body of work of our friend Mr Milo. Multiple reports of harassment from lots of different people, his verified tick was taken away and he had previously been suspended. His mistake this time was that his target was a high profile celebrity: twitter simply couldn’t ignore that. But don’t be the dweeb who thinks he was banned because he was “dissing a black woman.” Because that just goes to show how ignorant you are and you are a mindless follower of professional trolls like Breibart. ---
