New WCDTs are posted Sunday evening.
Method of Madness:
New WCDTs are posted whenever someone wants to make them if nobody else has first. Usually it's on a Sunday, but if you wanna make one now, flondrix, that's perfectly fine.

Hells, I wouldn't mind seeing them on Saturdays, since I'd like to vote/post before I see the comic.

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 07 Jul 2017, 15:19 ---No. Toxic masculinity is why guys don't talk to each other like that. Viewing accidental flirting or paying a sincere compliment being seen as a sign of being gay and therefore a bad thing is why guys don't talk to each other like that. Fragile egos and fear of being ostracized are why guys don't talk to each other like that. Two girls thinking they were cute and having a little chuckle is not the reason.

"Toxic Masculinity"
Try Toxic SJW. Oh, wait. You already have.

Profound and original! Can I have an autograph?
Tova:
I'm glad you brought this up, Case, because I do have a (mild) criticism of the original post in your quote.

These comments are pretty reasonable explanations, IMO, as to why (some) guys don't talk to each other like this, at least not publicly. Although it might be interesting to discuss the deeper reasons why these behaviours are seen the way they are, by (again, some) males and females.
"Toxic masculinity," on the other hand, does not explain why. It's a very broad umbrella term describing all kinds of undesirable male behaviours, including the ones above and many many others. As such, it doesn't really add anything to the discussion except to perhaps ostracise anyone who might mistake the expression for implying that masculinity is inherently "toxic." As such, I feel that the post would have been better without it.
As I said, not really a big deal, but seeing as it came again, thought I'd throw that in.
