Onan The Vegetarian: Raw food subway wanker in NY mag

Liz Upton says,

Dan Hoyt, the raw food subway wanker (no nut-milk joke I can make here could possibly be better than the article's headline), has been profiled by New York magazine. Hoyt continues to demonstrate a remarkable lack of insight into precisely what it is he's done wrong, even suggesting that if the lady he flashed had met him under different circumstances she "would want to go out with me." Includes fascinating glimpses into the brain of a man who believes in breatharianism and likes to flop his willy about.

Snip from article. WTF do serial aggressors like Hoyt not understand about the concept of consent?


Since 1994, when he was arrested for a lewd display on the 8th Street N/R platform, his thrill-seeking hadn’t gotten him into trouble with the law again—until recently. Hoyt says he doesn’t make a habit of touching himself on the subway, but he occasionally reveals his penis in other settings. “There have been situations in a bar or nightclub where you’re fooling around with somebody and yeah, you’re exposed. It’s nothing really accessible. Just sort of hidden, but risky. If someone looked closely, they could see what’s going on.”

Some people are offended. “Everybody has their limitations,” Hoyt says. “For some people, it’s very, very wrong. Everybody has things to hide—things they don’t tell their best friend. I’ve seen Websites with scat and stuff and I think, What? Who would possibly be excited about that? But there are people who probably look at me and say, ‘How could that possibly be exciting in any way?’ ” As for his R-train exploits, Hoyt says, “I’ve met women who enjoy it. After this incident happened, I had a woman tell me, ‘You know, that sounds exciting to me.’ She wouldn’t mind being on the other end.”

Link. What an asshole. On a more positive note,  Thao Nguyen — the woman who snapped an incriminating phonecam photo of Hoyt's wank in progress — inspired a group of fans to start Hollabacknyc.com, a blog where women “holla back” at harassers by taking their pictures with phonecams, then posting them online.
