[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8733564, member: 907"] It is probably a combination of the perpetrator being a trans woman as opposed to a cis dude, and of the circumstances being much more clear cut. The reports I could find on Webb and Mentzer are vague. As far as I can tell, Mentzer has been an a-hole online (and possibly in person), but I can't find any reports of him getting physical with anyone. I can't find anything on what Webb supposedly did other than follow the victim around, and getting a PaizoCon staff member injured when they tried to intercede. [SPOILER="CW: Sexual assault"]Grant, on the other hand, got into bed with her victim, demanded "cuddles", and pinned her victim to the bed until Grant fell asleep. That's [B]way[/B] worse than Mentzer, and likely worse than Webb (given that his deeds were more or less in public, I would be surprised if they got beyond "inappropriate touching"). I'm not trying to excuse Mentzer or Webb here, I'm just saying there are degrees of Bad, and Grant went far beyond what either of them, to the best of my knowledge, did.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
