However, VN had been here for months and served on juries. Moreover, he wasn't even close to the worst of the misogynists, until he made those final comments to Sea. The fact is there remain a few people who consider feminism as advanced by HOF more offensive than the threats of death and rape VN made against Sea. That people continued to attack feminists and feminism in general in that thread even after VN made those awful comments demonstrates as much.
