I'm surprised there isn't a thread about the Zoom D*** Incident already, but this article breaks it down pretty well.

Somehow this otherwise intelligent 60-year-old man decided to Take it Out, point his camera at his crotch and masturbate while on a Zoom call with his esteemed colleagues. His excuse is that he thought he had switched to a different call during a break. Note this was a meeting playing out election scenarios with Toobin as the courts (what a metaphor....).
What is surprising - other than we're 7 months into this pandemic for this first high-profile incident - is how many men are defending Toobin. Would they say the same if he'd done this at the office? How are people arguing it somehow *isn't* sexual harassment to see a colleague wanking on a work call?
