Do you believe he should kill himself because of the urges he can't control Surtur?
And no, you're not thinking rationally here and are being controlled by your emotions. Your gut reaction to pedophilia is making you equate the two when they are not equitable.
This pedophile made it very explicit that the urges he felt were wrong, and acting on them would be even more wrong, and all he wanted was the ability to be able to acknowledge his pedophilia without being harassed and discriminated against. Now, you can disagree with that all you want (I'm not sure where I'd stand on that particular issue, on one hand he can't control it but I'm not sure making pedophiles feel better [or rather, letting them be more open so they aren't repressing so much] is worth the possible safety risks, there'd need to be serious study on that), but the charge being thrown at Milo is that he literally condones pederasty, as in, having sex with sexually boys. Do you see the difference between being a pedophile, being ashamed of it, but wanting to be able to identify as one openly and keep yourself from being discriminated against is not even NEAR the same ballpark as openly endorsing dicking thirteen year old boys lol.
You don't give platforms to dipshits like that and then whine when Milo gets one, unless you're a piece of hypocritical shit and YEP, Salon has whined about Milo in the past.
The difference is that what Milo is saying now and a lot of what he's said has been interpreted as being harmful, as in, his words can incite harm. Condoning pederasty is obviously an example of this, but the pedo wasn't actually doing that. He wasn't a member of NAMBLA saying that men should be able to enter "consensual relationships" with young boys. It's not really hypocrisy.
Oh, and that's just one example(the salon thing) about this weird thing with being attracted to younger folk being more accepted by creeps on the left. See: hypocrites like Meryl Streep applauding Roman Polanski. But Trump is bad cuz he mocked a disabled reporter(he actually didn't, but facts smacts*).
You are literally using one woman's hypocrisy and trying to tout it as an example of "the left's" hypocrisy. Meryl Streep is not representative of every viewpoint of the left. She isn't even really a spokeswoman for a single aspect of the left like Milo is. She's certainly well-respected, but it's less for her political views and more for her being basically the most accomplished actress on the planet. The problem you're describing isn't even a leftist one. It's a problem of people in Hollywood sticking up for their own even when the guy they're sticking up for is a monster.
Like, have you ever heard of anyone that isn't a celebrity, liberal or not, praising Roman Polanski except for maybe acknowledging that he makes good movies?
I'm also not sure that applauding a frankly very good movie's director getting an award that he probably deserved is hypocritical in the least. A good act (if you call making a good movie a good act) does not wash away the bad, nor the bad the good. Chris Benoit killing his wife, child, and then himself doesn't change the fact that he was one of the best professional wrestlers to work in the business tbh imo fam.
