wetwareproblem:venusisfortransbians:socialistexan:crystalclit:micdotcom:The problem with Out’s profile of Milo Yiannopoulos Some journalists think their job is simply to push “facts” out into the world and see what happens. They lob grenades over the editorial wall and don’t think they’re responsible for the explosion on the other side.This is what gay magazine Out did Wednesday, when it published a pretentious profile of Milo Yiannopoulos: “Send in the clown: Internet supervillain Milo doesn’t care that you hate him.”The piece has rightfully led Out readers and commenters to ask: Why is a gay, progressive magazine showering such attention on one of the culture’s most toxic trolls? Rather than take the white nationalist icon to task, Out treated Yiannopoulos to a lifestyle piece. The author follows Yiannopoulos as he runs errands, including a trip to the barber and tailor, while the provocateur spouts racist and anti-trans garbage unchallenged. (Opinion)this man is t-rash.“You really expect me to believe that I shouldn’t laugh about trannies? It’s hilarious. Like, dude thinks he’s a woman?” Yiannopoulos tells the author at one point, bursting into laughter. In another passage, he says he “like[s] fucking blacks and, ergo, [is] unlikely to be a racist.”An actually high profile gay magazine published this with no rebuttal or objection. They glorified this racist transphobe and even published slurs for him. There is no community.@ white cis gays: get your fuCKING HOUSE IN ORDERTell me again how “we came togethr to fight homophobia and transphobia.” I fucking dare you.This is why I don’t fuck with Out. It’s clear that they’re target audience is white cis gays, the rest of us don’t matter. -- source link
