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.

More like, imagining being lost.

But also, there's still ambiguity. If the man is clearly a park ranger, or part of a search party, or something like that, I think most would rather see the man there.

Oh well you can get lost on some paths without literally wandering through the brush around here or through taking side paths which have just kinda developed so I was just kinda thinking about it that way. That sounds like guys getting mad about a x (formerly known as twitter )thread like "even if i was doing a survivorman esque challenge got lost and had been missing for days i would rather see a bear than a stinky boy"
