Those other two are also just costumed cubicle workers.

Most MEN would probably choose bear as well, we're that tired of your shit.

This comic is from 2023, it's completely unrelated to the man or bear question.

Or was it written by a time traveler

I'm out of the loop what is this question

[–] HandsomePotatoe 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you are a woman, and found yourself in the woods, would you feel safer with a man or a bear?

Is this some kind of "men are dangerous animals" thing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It's basically the perfect rage-bait question, because everyone immediately has an answer based on their emotions and assumes everyone else interpreted the core question the same way.

It's more like that man have an alternative motive, while a bear is a bear

For some reason, I'm reading the "your" here as gendered. Which is weird, because I like to ask my (not terminally online) boyfriend his opinion of online drama, and when I explained to him that women were saying they'd choose a bear over a strange man, he said, "That's the obvious choice. Everyone should chose the bear over a stranger. People are awful."

Gendering it was probably unnecessary. If you made the question "would you rather meet a bear in the woods, or a stranger," most people would say the bear.

Because people are terrible.

Tbf, the bear question was supposed to be gendered and inflammatory. It was designed to provoke a reaction so that people could say "see this is what I mean" when anyone feels personally insulted by someone insinuating that "men" specifically are inherently evil, which, btw, are we only counting AMAB individuals that identify with their assigned gender? Are MtF (evil to good), or FtM (good to evil) included? What about AMAB gender fluid individuals, evil on Tuesday but Wednesday they feel non-evil? It was always just provocative and stupid, and should be disregarded at least and mocked at most.

I agree with your assessment however that if it wasn't supposed to be the way it was and was instead not gendered it would have had a much different and likely more positive effect. All I'm saying is the author did it this way instead on purpose.

Definitely bear.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to do a controlled coma but I don't want to end up like peterson

"People say he fried his brain one day from going into a drug induced coma. Course, couldn't have been too smart to do that in the first place".
