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. 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 think one thing with this question is that it's framed in multiple different ways, and also kinda ambiguous. Like, when I first heard in the woods, the first thing I imagined was hiking on a trail, since that's the reason I would most likely be in the woods. Seeing other people on the trail is just part of it that doesn't even register. But I would certainly be on edge if I saw a bear on the trail. But being "stuck" or "lost" like I heard does change context.
