Dare I ask what the man vs bear meme is all about and why it seems to be upsetting men so much? [CW: sexism]
(hexbear.net)
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. 
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.
It's a TikTok thing. Hypothetically, would the woman being asked rather cross paths with a man she doesn't know in the woods, or a bear? Lots of women pick bear, because as an animal its behavior is more predictable and arguably less dangerous to a woman than some random dude who for all she knows is a serial murdering rapist or some shit. And think of it this way: you see a bear in the distance and calmly walk the other way, most of the time you'll be fine. It won't follow you back to the parking lot, and then get into a car of its own and follow you back to your apartment.
Some men are upset by this reasoning and instead try to mansplain how dangerous bears are. (Bears will also not send you aggressive messages on social media berating you for some stupid TikTok meme bullshit)
anyways the correct answer is "threesome with bear"
Waving to the bear and saying, "Daddy Halsin UwU"
Edit: This might actually make a black bear uncomfortable enough to stop it from bluff charging.
I feel like it would contribute a lot to society if I wrote "The Baldur's Gate 3 Guide to General Socialization and not Being a Misogynist on the Internet". Full of life lessons and all that. I'm sure it's the knowledge humanity needs
The Halsin fans saw this Internet shitstorm happen and thought "our time to shine".
I've heard enough of my friends' Grindr experiences to know that this isn't true.
Ah thank you for that. I was confused about the random references I kept seeing all over the place.
I get your point generally, and I agree generally, but women are taught and conditioned to be particularly cautious around men since very young due to the fact that men are the most dangerous facet of daily life to women. And if you're in some remote place, like a hiking trail where you're alone, then that may understandably heighten fears.
Doesn't necessarily have to be a professional serial killer but some guy could very plausibly kill a woman on a trail just because he got angry that she turned him down or maybe because she told him that in response to the meme she said she'd rather pass a bear.
