Conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos received big-name support on Wednesday for reversing his lifetime Twitter ban: Minecraft creator Markus Persson.

Twitter froze Mr. Yiannopoulos' account on Tuesday after barbed exchanges with "Ghostbusters" star Leslie Jones. The Breitbart News tech editor seemingly was banned for the racist comments made by other users. Mr. Persson told his nearly 4 million followers that Twitter's actions were absurd.

"I think the guy's a bit of a [expletive], but for the love of Christ, #FreeMilo," the video game icon said Wednesday morning. "If/when I get suspended too, check http://notch.net. I've reported tweets worse than anything (well.. almost) Nero's ever said, and the reply is always the same: Nope."

    First of all

    Now we are seeing a small minority of men wanting to go back to that model

    Talk about yourself, don't hide behind "we".

    Objectively, there is now less pressure on men to be providers.

    Yep, you haven't listened to men all your life because you have always competed with them and now your espousing feminist rhetoric to look like you give a damn about women's issues.

    Rest of your post is just giant bull crap that is best ignored.

    One hint: Any Right's Movement, by definition, is anti-conservative.

    Lemme guess: you're a real all-american "Meat-n-Potatoes" manly man who loves incinerating meat on a grill, watches sports while drinking a 'brewski' and looking at hot ladies? The world would also be a better place if everyone just got some common sense and thought & acted exactly like you?

    amirite?
