As ms_manna said, a lot of the reaction was about straws and camels. For me, there was also the combination of:
-- the OP encouraging people to replicate this at other SF cons;
-- the attitude that he was being a Nice Guy by selflessly putting himself in a position where he could feel up random women (and the implied corollary of "You should be thanking me!"); and
-- the cutesy name, which carries the implication that women's bodies should be public property.
His initial refusal to check his fucking privilege only served to escalate...and then he just wouldn't STOP DIGGING.
