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.

    I’d just like to add that as a regular ol’ cis dude, I’d much rather encounter a black bear than a random guy in the woods. I know how to deal with a black bear 99% of the time, I know how to deal with the random guy 85% of the time. I’m not particularly afraid of either scenario but I’d definitely take the bear.

    Make it a grizzly bear and idk, I’ve never been anywhere that has wild grizzlies so I don’t know the proper protocol for dealing with them. Also in the 1% of cases where I can’t defuse the situation I think a grizzly just wins that fight. I feel like I can make a black bear give up on killing me.

    I still think I’d rather take the grizzly bear that inexplicably hates me than the random guy that inexplicably hates me though. At least the grizzly will tell me how it really feels in very unambiguous terms.

        For a polar bear or mountain lion, however, by the time you see it, you’re already dead. It already knew you were there, and specifically decided that it wanted to be in your presence.
