Yiannopoulos founded The Kernel, an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He rose to notability that year when he began to provide media coverage and commentary surrounding the [[Gamergate]] controversy. As a cultural libertarian and [[free speech]] fundamentalist, he is a vocal critic of fourth-wave [[feminism]], [[Islam]], social justice, political correctness, and other movements and ideologies considered by conservatives to be authoritarian or belonging to the progressive left. He was permanently banned from [[Twitter]] in July 2016 for what the company cited as "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others". In reality, he harshly criticised the movie Ghostbusters (2016,) namely criticising lead actress Leslie Jones, an [[African-American]] woman. This prompted some of Yiannopulous' followers to verbally attack Jones, and the the blame for such harsh attacks was pinned on him by Twitter and the [[mainstream media]]. Yiannopulous gained huge public notoriety after he was scheduled to speak at the University of California-Berkeley in January 2017 about the myth of culural appropriation, but had the event shut down by violent rioters who claimed to be fighting Milo's allegedly "[[racist]]" views.

==Resigns from Breitbart News==
On February 21, 2017 Milo Yiannopoulos resigned from the news site [[Breitbart News]] after a video surfaced in which he made remarks that appeared to condone sex between grown men and teenage boys.
Mike Cernovich, documentary filmmaker and author of [[Gorilla Mindset]] , in defence of Yiannopoulos said that malevolent actors of the [[Deep State]] were responsible for the claim that Yiannopoulos promoted child abuse as a means of cementing the loyalty of [[Generation Z]]. Yiannopoulos, he said, had become too much of a threat to these forces.
That night, [[Alex Jones]] on [[Infowars]] posted a video called, ''"Milo Is A Victim Of Sexual Abuse, Does Not Promote Pedophilia."'' Jones went on at length detailing that Yiannopoulos’ thinking was taken out of context meaning explaining his molestation as a young teen and that [[Stockholm Syndrome]] might have turned him gay and made him sympathetic to sex between mature men and teenagers, despite the age difference.<ref>[https://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/milo-yiannopoulos-far-right-fans-think-spy-agencies-took-him-out-because-he-was-too-powerful/ Milo Yiannopoulos’ far-right fans think spy agencies took him out because he was too powerful]</ref>
Jones went on to say that Yiannopoulos is the victim of a "witch hunt" by the Main Stream Media and Hollywood pedophiles as well as the ''"Republican party"'', which is ''"trying to roll up the grassroots support of the nationalist and populist movement that is taken place."''
