And let's be clear on this one as well, when a full grown adult person has sexual contact with a minor child, it is absolutely rape. Period. Even if the child is sexually aggressive... even if the child is literally asking for it... the adult is a rapist. Because children are unable to give informed consent, and normal adult human beings are perfectly capable of knowing right from wrong and of controlling their sexual urges. If any of this is questionable to you, we'll have a more remedial discussion on the subject.
But Milo blames his early childhood sexual abuse for "making him gay." He blames his experiences for making him the horrible, deviant pervert he has become. And further, because he enjoyed sexual activity and sought it out (with adults), he sees himself at age 14 as being the sexual aggressor. He was asking for it. This is a common thing among abused adolescents. Because they enjoyed it, they feel guilty and responsible for what happened to them. In Milo's particular case, he prides himself on it... "I was a very mature 14" and "They never stood a chance against me." In his own mind, he refuses to see himself as a rape victim, and therefore, he can only justify it with the idea that sometimes children really are the aggressors and that adults can't resist their urges in that situation. Which leads to the horrible cognitive dissonance of "Well, of course pedophilia is wrong. Of course these adults are rapists. But y'know, sometimes..."
People recognize that children are incapable of giving consent. They recognize that adults are responsible for their actions. But when they've lived through the experience themselves, they have a hard time making themselves a helpless victim at 14... especially when they remember all their desires and actions and motivations so clearly. To make those the actions of a victim is difficult for them. But when Milo tries to cast himself as the one who was in control the whole time, thus excusing his rapists, he is in a position of now defending pedophilia as being sometimes justifiable.
Don't misunderstand me, I don't feel sorry for Milo in any way, and while all of this helped explain WHY Milo became the person he is, none of it EXCUSES his behavior in any way. He is an adult and fully responsible for the terrible things he does and says. I get that he was hurt as a child. I'm sure he went through terrible shit. But his way of dealing with it now is by causing the maximum amount of hate and pain and carnage that he can. He revels in destroying others. He is a bad man.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Tue Feb 21, 2017 8:49 pm
