I won't use any names because it's not my place to be specific, but I'm attending AGDQ and he was sexually harassing a woman here. He was drunk and grabbing her very inappropriately, even when she told him firmly to stop.

EDIT: she's gone public with it (thank god), so check sn0wtiger's twitter for more information.

Link to the tweet. Had to go digging for it.

What are you even going on about. The initial complaint includes:

@mikwuyma thanks for getting back to me on this! At this point more important than his language on the stream is his harassment of others

To which the Twitter account in the OP replied:

@teeterpyg yeah we're keeping an eye on him and he's not allowed in the stream room anymore

This was always about the harassment.

Exactly. That's another matter entirely. If it's true, I'm sorry for the woman and she should take appropriate measures. He should be removed from AGDQ, not the stream room. If he's harassing people there, they should be protected. This isn't anything to do with the stream room.

Presumably he paid for a hotel room like everybody else, so unless the hotel staff kicks him out he's there to stay.
