Sexual Harassment can mean anything to these usurpers.

What it probably means is a big, fat, ugly nerd tried his hand at flirting. Didn't go so well. A little bit of awkwardness for both parties ensured. End of story.

Long Live RS!

This is a complete strawman. Sexual harassment is well defined. It would be unwanted and, especially, persistent sexual attention.

By definition, literally any rejection of an intimate advance would make that advance "unwanted". Should we as a society interpret this to mean that the only people allowed to flirt with other people are ones who are successful 100% of the time?

Now, obviously if he persisted after rejection then that changes things, but it doesn't seem like that's been alleged AFAICT.

Don't go to latin america or you'd be in for a surprise. Or Japan.

In Spain on weekends it can be in both ways and with different sexual orientations.
