She uses Tamir Rice as a punchline and although she says "he's threatened to sue me if I say he's racist" she doesn't immediately follow that up with "His gleeful co-ordination of horrific racist and misogynist abuse of Leslie Jones" or any of the other myriad ways that he's been just awful.
There comes a time when it's all "Look, stop giving them sympathy and a platform. They don't get you feeling sorry for them. I don't care how much they're hurting, the hurt they inflict on others means they've forfeited consideration."

milo is getting just the kind of attention he wants. like, great that S&S finally cancelled his book deal, but he should have never been given attention to begin with. this plays right into his victim narrative. his book will get published and he'll get a bigger cut of the profits than he would have under S&S. most people who don't spend all day on social media didn't know who he was, but the coverage that came from his bill maher appearance, as well as this pedo shit, is only going to make him more popular.

No, he doesn't. This is pure fiction. Disney is certainly guilty of prettying up and Bowdlerizing the source material it borrows from, but this did not happen in J.M. Barrie's plays/books. Sounds more like Marc Andreyko's graphic novel " The Lost"
