I think it's more like he's trying to justify himself by saying that he hasn't cancelled her flight yet, "Look! I'm a good guy! I didn't cancel her flight even after all what happened!"
The most stunning thing of all is the absolute obliviousness to how this is all coming across to normal onlookers. He brain is so fried by this type of toxicity that he can't see how over the line he is.
Given the overall context of the discussion, that's the only way that tweet can be read. What a dirtbag.
Alternatively, "I tried to cancel the flight, but the airline are currently having none of it. Fingers crossed, though."
I've seen it time and time again, but not normally to this degree.
These weirdos think interactions with women are like dialogue choices in games. You choose the correct responses and that's it, you get the sex. Whenever a woman does or says anything outside what they expected it's like she's cheating or changing the rules of the game.

Yeah, I'm watching now and the chat is just... ugh.
I dunno who this Destiny guy is, but fuck him.
Those diatribes where we very obviously tried to steer the conversation into sexual territory, fucking yikes. Total creep.
That line is awkward af, but I feel like everyone is skipping over the part right before where she said "I'll be your sex toy all week."
Oofs all around, imo.
That can't be the person I think it is can it? If so holy shit how far he's fallen.
So what? She got there and saw that he's not what she thought he was and backed out. If he was actually a good person he would have respected her wishes instead of throwing a tantrum.
It is who you think it is. He's the guy who debated Jontron which exposed Jontron's racism.
I haven't read the screencaps of the discord conversation, out of respect of what should have been left private, but it doesn't matter what she said. Nor does it really matter what he said. Awkward or not, it seems that the flirting was mutual and that's partly why she flew out to meet him. There's no problem there.
The problem is that the guy is throwing a colossal hissy fit because she withdrew consent and didn't want to sleep in the same bed as him, and he's having a public meltdown about how he was owed something because he paid for the plane ticket. Which is not how consent works.
It's about 35 degrees here in Maryland. Now this is not a big problem for most people since most of us tend to sleep inside. Pretty shitty of him to book a hotel room with no walls.
User banned (1 week): victim-blaming rhetoric over a series of posts
Absolutely, she had no obligation to sleep with him. I'm not arguing against that or anything.
I just personally don't like that everyone's acting like she wasn't at least partially complicit in this scenario. Just my observation and take on the sitch that I don't think has been expressed in the thread. We all already agree he's a fucko who shouldn't be flying women out to try to creep into their pants. She did egg it on, though.
I'm confused. He's got someone called Weather in the bed? Was Weather on the floor before? So what's his actual problem if he has his snuggle buddy and is fine with floor-sleepers?
EDIT: Obviously his problem is a permaban for being a creep. I just can't figure out his defense. It's leakier than a septuagenarian boxer.
It's almost assuredly this, most airlines take 150 right off the cut if you try to cancel flights
And? Saying that she would have sex doesn't mean she has to give sex in the end.
iirc In the chat he said he would have a roomate that he could ask to leave
So if a woman flirted with a man and went on a date and ended up getting assaulted, then it's her fault then right? It sounds like in your opinion it would be.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in "WELL ACKCHYUALLY..."
This is one of those situations where I wish I had the power to summon that giant foot from the opening of Monty Python's Flying Circus tot drop out of the sky and smush the person of my choosing, complete with the accompanying fart sound effect. It would be perfect for this situation.
What a creepo!
What a creepo!
Wow. Maybe you want to clarify what you mean by "it" because currently it looks an awful lot like you're blaming a victim for her own harassment.
I guess what I'm saying, before someone thinks I'm defending all this trash he's doing, is that his frustration/anger is, a bit, justified. She has the right to not sleep with him, 1 hundo percent, but part of how she got the ticket, if I'm understanding the brief paraphrased transcript from a few pages ago, was through that conversation around them having sex in the first place that they both egged on and, if she was creeped out, she could've (and should've, with hindsight being 20/20) backed out before taking the free ticket or, as others have mentioned, having a backup plan.
This is the kind of statement I was trying to avoid having levied against me. My point is that his frustration is valid but his actions are indefensible.
"It" was solely in reference to the really bad attempts at flirting in the chatlog, most particularly the sex toy line.
Ah the time honored scorned dudebro method of airing out all this shit in public because you're mad she didn't have sex with you, you perfect adonis you.
None of this needs to be public, wtf kind of jerk airs out all this shit just because he tried to be creepy and she said no to having sex with him. Nothing about this is justifiable, from his actions during, or his actions now. IDGAF if he's mad a the situation, you endure an awkward hotel room for a week or one of you moves rooms. That's it. That's the extent of how far this should have gotten. Instead you gotta be creepy and air her out trying to make yourself a victim because sex is a commodity to be purchased.

It's amazing he actually thinks posting that shit is A: okay, and B: makes him look like anything but a fucking creep.
Don't we have to go through "technically if this was a contract..." first?
It's the risk you take. I'll leave it alone though, this guy's not worth getting my account banned when I'm not even trying to defend him.
Not trying to defend him, just trying to knock her down a peg or two.
Not really she met him and he was gross and manipulative and thought actually I don't want to have sex with him anymore. Happens all the time and is totally normal and natural.
It doesn't matter if she said before hand that she'd have sex with him. When he pressed her, in the moment, when they were in person. She said no and now he's being a dick.
The problem with the "she egged him on" argument - well, one of many problems - is that it assumes men are uncontrollable animals when it comes to sex and once we get started we have to get what was started or we have a right to be angry.
Which, like
No? If you don't get sex, regardless of what was promised or how much your engine was revved, you don't actually have the right to be upset. That's fucking dumb.

How are people STILL looking at this situation and being all 'well, he's got a point!'
No. No he hasn't. People have such a warped view of consent, intention, manipulation and a person's agency over their body and life.
He isn't valid in this situation. At all. His actions and defence are both well, indefensible.

I'm starting to believe that there should be a class in Highschool you have to take that's all about what consent means. Too many dudes don't seem to fucking get it.
