I'm not sufficiently confident in my abilities to judge in person the frequency or severity of such things to offer an anecdotal account. I inhabit a very cordial microcultural environment most of the time, thank goodness.

Online is a mess, but the online mess and the in-person mess are often not all that well correlated, especially when being a creep involves staring, touching without permission or cause, etc..

I do notice a general increase in the sentiment of "it's okay to be a creep because they'll call you a creep either way" as part of the general backlash against moral criticism from the left, but I personally have only seen that online.
