I don't want to sound like an angry old person, so let me first say that back in my youth there were tons of unhealthy preconceptions about sex, romance, and relationships, and some of them were outright creepy and not entirely explicable as mere miscommunication or naivety.
It's just that due to some bad life decisions involving mindless clicking I've been recently exposed to some current-generation webcomics, and, well, kids these days don't seem to have made any progress.
