It's my opinion that Milo was hit with this bogus line of attack because he was one of the first high-profile people to talk about Pizzagate. I think that because he was willing to talk about it, the decision was to paint him as a pedophile in order to distract away from those he may reveal as being complicit in child sex trafficking.
This is bolstered somewhat by the revelation that the group that targeted Milo was backed by Evan McMullin, the CIA scumfuck who ran for president on the basis that "Trump sucks, the GOP should always back the establishment". Obviously protecting their own.
Why did he resign? I'll counter that with a question: how does he defend himself from this charge? A full media blitz is on to misrepresent him as a defender of pedophilia. What the narrative is taking advantage of, and which Milo has brought up in past(including in the very videos in question) is that fact that in the United States, we have a very puritanical view towards sexuality that makes even discussing sexual concepts in public difficult. While Trump, for example, can clarify or even shift his views on issues like immigration or tax policy to better communicate with the masses, nobody can clarify sexuality-related opinions without being painted as some sort of deviant. Pedophilia IS a reality of sexuality in every country on earth, just as homosexuality and other unconventional sexual practices are; however, too many people in this country cringe or blanche at such discussion, even if it is nothing more than clinical analysis. The Kinsey Report was a notorious example of this. Anyone who discusses sexuality in this country and later on has opinions that challenge the politics of the mainstream media will be presented as some sort of sick raping freak by said media. It's yet another cheap tactic to silence them and prevent them from having any credibility, thus undermining every other message, no matter how noble or important that message may be.
I've experienced this same thing for months within this very movement. We'll have somebody come by with a kid's cartoon from the 80s or 90s, and they'll note some adult humor that was surreptitiously placed in the show, and immediately start claiming that everyone behind the show must have been a kid toucher and needs to be investigated. In fact, these kinds of examples were common back when people making shows knew that adults would be watching shows with their children, and were in fact working to make the show appealing to multiple generations. Myself and many others I know often go back to watch these shows and end up being entertained by the jokes that we completely failed to get as kids(which was by design), but now we understand as adults. The weaving of such humor took a lot of talent, but hypersensitive people will take that juxtaposition and draw something far more sinister out of it. While I understand such fears in light of Pizzagate revelations, I also acknowledge that, unfortunately, such a movement will also breed a certain degree of paranoia.
That kind of paranoia is what is mobilized here against Milo, and anyone here who is dumb enough to think this will be a one-time thing is in for a ride, because since it worked, the media and the pro-government forces will be employing it over and over, until, like the Nazi label, it's dead from overuse.
You raise some good points. But using the excuse something is pervasive is not a way to validate that it's necessarily moral or right. For example, incest, bestiality, rape, murder, torture, and serial killings are also part of every culture and go on all over the world. These are not wholesome or ethical and should be put on an list to try to eradicate. So pointing to 'pedophilia' as being a worldwide concept just doesn't really say anything other than it's a fact. If a child is under twelve, there can't be any possible argument made that molesting this child is in any way shape or form "good". This is especially true of toddlers. The trauma suffered is immeasurable and I've met people and have anecdotal evidence to support this. I also have spoken to psychologists involved in trying to make these victims whole. It's a harrowing process. When you get to the age of 16, it gets dicey as to what is predatory, and what is "good". Teenagers have raging hormones. They get themselves into trouble by thinking they can handle anything when, in fact, they are kids. They don't have the maturity to handle a lot of things they think they can. But does this mean they can't engage in sex? It's why the laws are in place. If they are dealing with children their own age, it becomes a more level playing field. It would be like you or I encountering a ninja in an alley. How do you think we'd come out of that experience? A winner? That said, there are now gangs where peers of these children groom, befriend, and betray them by involving them in sex trafficking. So age is one component in this coming of age and awakening to sex. But so is a level playing field. If someone is targeting another individual and has an agenda that is not healthy, productive, or even totally against what they're espousing all to lure, entrap, and deceive, then, Houston, we have a problem. This is especially true when you have a ring of predators who do this repeatedly and have no heart, compassion, or regret over the breaking of little spirits and lives. Add in doing it for money, and you really put the icing on the proverbial cake. No, pedophilia is not right. It will never be right no matter how many people tell you it is. Per Milo's example, is a 28-year-old involving himself with a 16-year-old the same as an elite pedophile ring like the one that stole Madeleine McCann? We can't say that with certainty. Sandusky was one individual and look how many lives he ruined.. So while you're expressing yourself cogently and eloquently, the kite you're floating won't fly.
He never did the talk about pizzagate. Unless you count his Joe Rogan interview where he said he went to some Hollywood sex parties with "very very young boys." Milo is a suspect in pizzagate, and should not be the face of pizzagate.

I'm in agreement with you, or was. That's how I was reading things, but don't understand why he resigned without a fight and naming names.
