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.

It really depends A LOT on the type of bear. The black bears of the northeast are basically Saint Bernard sized raccoons. They will almost always run from you unless they are really in ecstasy over a dumpster or something. They live concentrated around state parks like seagulls on boardwalks, even though the are periodically moved. They used to come scratch their backs on the side of our house, and I saw them hiking a handful of times.
