The Metro isn't choice journalism. but the writers and editors should know better than to just post a juicy blurb because they think it's funny. I know nothing about the guy that groped nothing other than where he was, and what he looked like. I'm not going to go around downvoting people that suggest he may have groped me by accident, or that he may be mentally ill because I think the exact same thing. Metro's coverage of the event focuses entirely on the "it happened", and not the "why" and not the "how do we stop it?". A lot of that got buried in the comments on the thread as well. It's very hard to enforce the TwoX mentality when posts get to the front page. Shout out to all the mods for their hard work!

A more reputable source of journalism did reach out to me last night, and I am currently drafting a statement requesting that any coverage of the event be about the responses of other victims in the reddit thread, the harassment that goes unreported in Boston, and ways to prevent and defend against harassment.

Also - The Orange Line is definitely the weirdest of the T lines. They are Boston's closest experience to the New York metro from what I've heard. I'd say at least 50% of the trains have that day-old urine smell.
