He's certainly a smart individual, but he's vapid and rather dull, and his arguments are just empty rhetoric. Mind you, in order to appeal to his fan base, he's aware that he must remain all style and little substance. He's an opportunist and if albino elephants were the hated group du jour that's what he would pay attention to in order to sell his nazi inspired t-shirts.

Well said, and yeah, pretty much exactly. It's worth noting that before "gamergate" Milo absolutely loathed gamers. Just yelled at them any chance he got. He glommed onto it because he saw an audience he could pander to.
And before the usual suspect comes in, yes, I do know someone who has been closely involved in that particular unpleasantness. And also yes, he does know Anita and doesn't care for her much.
At the end of the day I have zero sympathy for someone who went out of his way to offend people for the sole purpose of making money. That's all Milo was, and all he will be. People should probably look into his scamming of $100k for "white male scholarships".
