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 dunno, I'd say go wander around where they live but you probably shouldn't go bushwhacking through a panda preserve

Aren't pandas like super-aggressive if you're even so much as in their territory, never mind being perceived as a threat to the cubs? Or am I confusing my ursine subspecies again

Males in breeding season, yes, but in general giant pandas are solitary and peaceful animals, which will usually avoid confrontation

Normally wild pandas will flee if they catch your scent, most attacks on humans by pandas have been those in captivity. Ones raised as cubs by humans are actually difficult to release back into the wild because they no longer fear humans.

Pandas have a 0% fatality rate when it comes to humans. If they were super aggressive and territorial, the peasants expanding into the lowlands of Sichuan would have surely had at least 1 person mauled to death.

TIL; thanks for the clarification!
