What am I missing, here? Is it the smarmy smile on the guy's face that makes his line "aggressive", is he standing too close, is it because he asks Wren for a dance in spite of her closed off body-language and unenthusiastic "...hey"?
I mean, I can see that he gets aggressive and defensive and snippy with her in the second panel, but I'm confused about why Wren is upset before that. Her line "Are you, like, hitting on me?" makes it seem like it's the mere fact that he's hitting on her, not the way in which he's hitting on her that bothers her.
Anyway, it's true that there are a lot of guys who think being in a queer space gives them license to be extra skeevy and objectifying and entitled and transgressive, because they confuse real life with porn.
