First CPAC, now Simon & Schuster.
Milo Yiannopoulos lost a second gig Monday afternoon over his remarks defending underage pederasty, when Simon & Schuster cancelled plans to publish a book by the gay conservative provocateur this summer.
Adam Rothberg of the publisher’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter Monday afternoon.
“After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos,” Mr. Rothberg wrote.
“Dangerous,” a title playing off of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” had been set by a June 13 release by Threshold, the conservative- Yiannopoulos was recently disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference after a podcast emerged in which he appeared to endorse sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.
He said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships. And even if they are sexual in nature can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents".
Yiannopoulos' $250,ooo book deal was met with significant criticism because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform.

Katya, like myself is no fool. She is aware that he has (apparently) a phony charity and did not write his own book - employing ghost writers who he did not pay.
I, on the other had, follow him on FB, in which he asks ordinary Americans to personally attack overweight people (especially women) because they are ugly to him. He doesn’t offer to pay the legal bills, by the way, but perhaps you think he is employing that “dry humor” so beloved by Americans who know nothing about British viciousness towards American culture good and bad or gay men’s loathing of ordinary people who are not pretty, young, or matches for Donatello’s “David”.
Why did they do that? I don’t think they would have done that without cause.
It was the establishment GOPe never trumper globalists.
Yet Lena Dunham, who gleefully described molesting her little sister..is a leftist hero
Amen. One month in and some seem to be under the impression the left is completely defeated, and we can start to eat our own. This double standard Cuck crap is going to get us right back to where we were for the past 8 years. We can’t play with one set of rules while the left plays with no rules. Alt-lite, Alt-right, Conservatives and Libertarians can fight amongst themselves after the Left no longer has any chance for influence.
The media made Milo and no the media will destroy Milo. Easy to understand
Brilliant. Milo should make the book free on the Internet. It will make his more considered, written-down thought on Political Correctness available to millions for perusal,and garner him many sales on other books in the future.
(I haven’t seen/heard the talk in question here; but I don’t doubt for a moment that there is a coordinated attack on him precisely for his Conservative/Libertarian views and dedication to Free Speech.)
That is here, where it qualifies as bad jokes. Milo stepped out further, with his own name attached.
In some ways, seeing this today, he reminds me of Glenn Beck, who became a media star with some similar personality traits, if you will. We loved it when he was on Fox exposing Obama every night, but we also felt as if there was a desperate vulnerability to him. Since then, we’ve seen him devolve into something very ugly.
I wonder how Milo will pick up and recover from this.
If the left can accept Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton and Amy Schumer then we should accept MY.
Good catch.
Good for you. Let’s keep hammering our friends to buy Milo’s book on AMZ
Milo’s statement. Can be read without going on FB I believe.

He’s offered his reply on Facebook - I’m on his page. He took off his makeup and bracelets, complained he had the flu, and then went into his apology tour. He knows he screwed up because his ego overtook him.
I know no one here will understand this but in the novel “The Jewel in the Crown” a British character says to another British character: “India has been very bad for you.”
I say the same to Milo: America has been very bad for you.
Since he’s not a dumb guy, and educated, maybe he’ll understand the reference.
I love ya, Tiger!
So, you have trouble with my language but not Milo’s?! How naïve can you get?
Milo has always said outrageous things, he wasn’t going to Cpac to talk about gay sex or pederasty, he was championing the Trump anti Left and anti Globalist movement. He has clarified and proven he doesnt support pedophilia, the rest of what he says is from his own experiences and perspective.
We are kicking him out of the fold but all the never Trump egg heads who tried to get us Hillary will be at Cpac.
sorry, not patting myself or anyone else on the back. This farce went on for long enough... wait until some of his collection of straight “boys” turn on him. He doesnt seem to have any real friends, and trades the boys in like playing cards. No one who has ever worked with him, likes him.
>>...I like Milo because of the headache he causes the left. I’ve never supported his sexual choices. The fact that left and the nevertrumpers have launched a coordinated attack on him makes me want to support him. We’re at the point where we need to defend our allies from outside attack or the left and their nevertrumper allies will destroy us bit by bit...
>I agree with you. I am really saddened to see so many piling on him.
Most are nevertrumpers. They’re on the same mailing list as the MSN. BTW, if we’re going to purge people then it’s time to purge all the nevertrumpers. They tried to get Hillary elected and need to go before a guy like Milo who’s been a great anti-leftist attack dog.
Here’s what /pol/ had on the coordinated attack before it was launched:

FWIW, I haven't read all the comments yet, but here are a few points to consider:
From Drudge:
FF 2:00
"I don't want to blame anyone because I've said the things that you've seen. Some of them were very stupidly worded. Some of the wording that I used was dumb. If I could go back, in most cases, you guys know, if I say something outrageous or offensive, in most cases my only regret is that I didn't piss off more people. But in this case, if I could do it again, I wouldn't phrase things the same way because it's led to confusions. For instance, I was told that one of the numbers that people are fixating on is 13 and the implication that I was advocating for sex between 13 year olds .Well, the video that came out was edited to include a section where I said that consent was arbitrary and oppressive. But that was from a discussion about affirmative consent on college campuses. That was placed next to a section about 13 year olds to make it look like I was saying that consent with 13 year olds was arbitrary and oppressive. That's not the case.
