I don’t know the story behind the ‘friendly and consensual sexual banter’ (as someone called it) of those tweets so I’ve got zero context on how the conversations led to Joost saying things like

Since I was the one who characterized the exchange like that (in earlier comment here on Tavern), I'd like to reiterate that it’s trivial to look up tweets form that time period and see that the other party in conversation was very much shooting naughty tweets back.

Yeah, it wasn't wise and mature behavior in public. But it was two consenting adults talking.

And people went out of their way to imply that it was not and attacked women who disagreed with that narrative.

I am not harping on this to protect Joost, he doesn't need my protection in any case, being a powerful figure he would be just fine in any case.

I just have keen sense of being bullshited and it got pretty clear that attack on event just wasn't in good faith. Hijacking real and serious issues for personal whatever–that–was is gross.
