> The Vanity Fair 'Brotopia' party was way worse than it sounds

And by "worse," the author must mean more boring and less scandalous.

tl;dr: The author went to a VC party; saw a celebrity, but no sex or drugs; and went home. Despite that, he wants to use it to put his allyship on display.

There's nothing to see here.

The author explicitly states that he posted in order to corroborate what aspects of Jane Doe's description of the event that he could. The more people that provide evidence about a thing, the more likely others are to take it seriously. So there is everything to see here. (edited to fix verb tense)

He provided evidence that there was a party, but there's nothing wrong with parties. He didn't really provide evidence of anything else.

It's like trying to corroborate a report of a crime in San Francisco by helpfully saying "Yes! I've been to San Francisco, and it is by the bay."
