Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That was more of an insult than a rejection. And even the rejection part of it was something she approached him for. You don't reject someone who never asked. It's either a complete lack of social awareness or deliberate cruelty on the girl's part.

So while I agree that anger isn't a great response to rejection in general, I think it's entirely understandable in this case and doesn't imply a sense of entitlement. A rude retort wouldn't be uncalled for here.

Also note that there is a difference between feeling anger and expressing it to intimidate. Intimidation (or worse) should not be a part of non-violent social interactions at all. Anger should be managed.
