Never heard anything about being blocked in the room, I would appreciate the sources on this if you have them. Also, I would appreciate if you could elaborate what power exactly he had on anyone at this point.

No need to be snarky about my definition of “consent”, obviously we disagree on the dynamic of the situation, not the definition of consent.

Except the irony here is that the people we don’t want here are those offended by everything, like different people existing, and are also the one banning books. most people aren’t as easily offended as you make out to be, but most people expect jokes and behavior to be done in good taste, which translates to meaning no harms and no hate. only extremists of all sorts usually break that “rule”.

I never understood the backlash on this one. He had their consent, and he wasn’t even their boss or anything. He was also younger and not as famous. Asking coworkers for sexual stuff is weird af, but is about it. They consented, so I guess he read the room correctly back then.
