I don’t go on social media so I don’t really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a “heh, serves her right” kind of way.

So weird that dudes complain that they can’t get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled. what-the-hell

EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I’m disappointed, that’s something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren’t. Do fucking better.

    We also don’t know what type of man we’re talking about. Or the distance you encounter them, or whether you’re lost in the woods or on a trail. There’s a lot of ambiguity in the question in general.

      Which is the point. Respect to the fellow autistics in this community, but the point is not whether you could fight off a bear, the point is that the motivations of men can lead to far worse than solely animal instincts

        Honestly the folk who miss this point of the Bear Discourse™ are red-flagging enough to justify avoiding them

          Depends on the situation. Now that its a meme everyone is delivering it differently and its like a game of telephone. My wife asked and I wasnt given context and she butchered it so I was just excited about doing a “would you rather” question so I started asking about where and what bears and what kind of man. Obviously after I found the context the point is clear if youre not a chud but I just thought we were having an old fashioned bear convo.

      Hence why the question survived this long. The ambiguity allows a lot of different lines and prevents people from getting an answer.
