Eeeh, he's closer to how you want that situation to go than Cosby, by far.
He asked permission to touch himself in front of someone else, and only proceeded when he had their consent.
Turns out that consent between people earlier in their careers and someone more established can be tricky, to say the least.

What he did wasn't violent, just ignorant to power dynamics. What he did wasn't okay, but it's far from drugging people.
Wasn't comparing the two.
Don't really feel like having to reiterate in the topic either and it's certainly not the place for it. But as I implied, most are already well aware of what you just said; some are not.
So,here is a meme...

... You directly compared the two of them, but okay.

It's a really odd product comparison that totally distracted me from the product.
Covered this hypothetical in another comment, just didn't think it'd actually happen...
"Fruit."
"DID YOU JUST COMPARE APPLES AND ORANGES?!???!?! You directly compared the two of them!!!!"
Nah, mate. There was no comparison here.
There was no consideration of one to the other; which is more, which is less, what the differences are and which one you should pick if you remember to like and subscribe. Perhaps the definition of "compare" changed this week, I don't know or care.
Enjoy the day. Just let it go.
Here's another meme...

... "Apples can go bad, but so can oranges" is literally comparison.
You didn't have to argue about the meaning of the word comparison if you didn't care. If you're going to argue at someone, don't tell them to stop responding. It conveys a weird energy of "I care enough to respond, but not enough to read a response".
My day is going great. I got the day off and good leftovers for lunch, and now I'm just playing games and relaxing.
Here's a bewildering product image for the leading brand of rabies vaccine in the US:

A friend woke up to a bat freaking out in their bedroom. We told him to go to the doctor, who said that he almost certainly didn't have a rabies risk because the bat seemed fine, he had no visible bites, and most bats here don't bite, buuut the "certainty of a slow and painful death" compared to "low risk moderate discomfort rabies vaccine series" means they recommend it anyway. To cheer him up we shared the terrible website design of the manufacturer. Seems people aren't looking for the hip new thing when they're looking for rabies vaccine.
