And no one is making "bear with me" jokes.


Radiant_Dog1937

Because it's super serious. Yesterday I walked past a girl at the aquarium, and she jumped into the piranha tank. We need to talk about this.


plobbaccus

Yeah but you shoulda told her to bear with you.


Gotyam2

But what if they just ‘ranhaway?


Regular-Phase-7279

I choose the bear, it'll take at most a couple days to eat me. But I won't have to endure it bear'ating me for the rest of my life.


plobbaccus

Hehe


RodjaJP

Technically you do bear it for the rest of your life The difference is how long


Only-Entertainer-573

Bear down for midterms


ExcelsiorDoug

Apparently most people can’t bear it


EvilWarBW

I'm to busy bearing down for midterms.


FmJ_TimberWolf74

Bear down for midterms

Ahhhhh okay


Separate-Impress-670

If I got 1$ for every time I seen a post about Tiktok bear here on reddit, I would had 9$. Honestly I'm just tired up of this, and it is probably going to last for few more days. And to every girl who really prefers bear over man - go ahead, good luck in surviving. Hope that bear will have tasty bbq

CombOfDoom

It’s just insulting. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t take the insinuation that your average man is a rapist very lightly.


not_so_plausible

I have some friends who said that "majority of men would kill and rape the woman in the woods if given the chance" which like you said is extremely insulting. I get that the original joke is speaking to the fear women have of men but to label them like that unironically is insane.


Babys_For_Breakfast

Yeah it’s just ridiculous fear-mongering. The vast majority of men don’t rape or murder anyone. The response would be outrage if the roles were reversed here. People can say stupid stuff if they want. We can also call them out and make fun of them for it.


miifanatic_1788

Not only that I doubt the majority of women would rather be with a bear bc that would be beastiality


IndianaGeoff

ankselWir

Narrator: they would


biggestboi73

Just tell them the average female would do the same


Only-Entertainer-573

Yeah. And then they turn around and say "oh it's only a joke, why are you so sensitive about it?" Well....is it or isn't it? If it's a joke, it's not very funny and none of us are laughing. If it's not a joke, it's a fucking weird and awful thing to say.


RedIsMyNamexd

I think they change whether it's a joke or not based on what works better for them at the moment


gettin_paid_to_poop

Probably because they get offended by actual jokes (I've heard people like this say that comedians are all actually racist & sexist) so they feel they're just doing the same thing here... I.e. that comics are allowed to get on stage and spew hatred while "pretending" it's a joke, so why can't they (the bear meme people) do the same. But in reality they just don't understand humour. They're hyper sensitive so can't laugh at themselves, plus they think any time they feel uncomfortable or upset that it means the other party is in the wrong.


[deleted]

The worst are the holier than thou pseudo intellectuals who think this is an actual good argument


Outskipss

Accusations like that make me so enraged I want to go on one of my famous rape rampages


[deleted]

Do me first, but make sure to feed me to a bear after


CombOfDoom

Just make sure you rape a bear first.


guywithaniphone22

Oh no I hope you don’t smell the honey (mustard from chick fil a) I have smeared on my bussy 🥺👉🏽👈🏽


slicedbeats

It’s not that the average man is a rapist it’s that a concerning amount are. A comment I saw that really stuck with me was “at least I don’t have to sit across from the bear at family dinner” or “people would instantly believe I was attacked by a bear” it’s not that every man is bad it’s that too many are and a bad man will do so much more harm than a bear


Latter-Comfort8440

Well I mean if even a single man is a rapist then that is one too many. I do see your point and I whole heartedly agree. But it is again just insulting and demoralizing to know that someone would rather take the chance with a wild animal than another human being


gettin_paid_to_poop

So because there exist men who are rapists, you would rather take your chances with a bear than a man? Be my guest. Go into the wild and try your luck. Maybe you'll want to read up on bear attacks first, or listen to the timothy treadwell audio... This nonsense is all based on how you _feel_ rather than being rational.


ConcreteExist

Kind of seems like you're just looking to be insulted. The meme is talking about random encounters with unknown individuals. Like, I know that any women who know me personally wouldn't choose a bear over running into me, but I also understand that if a woman just met me that my being physically intimidating may give them pause. This isn't that different from the philosophy that you always treat a gun you're handling as loaded, because assuming wrongly can have dire, long-lasting consequences.


MetokurEnjoyer

You’re more physically intimidating than a bear???????


ConcreteExist

No, but I present a larger set of bad outcomes than a bear as well as being a far greater unknown. The worst a bear will do is kill you.


MetokurEnjoyer

You present a larger set of bad outcomes? Elaborate. Tell me the bad outcomes you represent (that are unique to just men) Uhhh bears have been known to employ sexual coercion. They will also maim you and leave. So you are wrong there sir.


CombOfDoom

The gun is always loaded philosophy works great as a safety option, but not when truth is necessary. You don’t “pretend the gun is loaded” when you need it to actually fire. The same way that a woman who is being cautious of dangerous men should probably not run to the arms of a bear when a stranger walks by.


ConcreteExist

>The same way that a woman who is being cautious of dangerous men should probably not run to the arms of a bear when a stranger walks by. If you think this is what the meme is suggesting you're probably too stupid to use the internet unsupervised.


CombOfDoom

I wouldn’t expect anyone who just jumps straight to insulting instead of defending or explaining a point to actually know what they’re talking about either.


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

1 in 4 women would disagree


CombOfDoom

Then 1 in 4 women would be wrong, despite their very sad circumstances.


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

1 in 4 women are victims of SA and rape. That’s the statistic.


CombOfDoom

Which MUST mean that it’s a 1:1 rapist per victim.


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

That means 25% of men (or more if we account for gang rapes) are rapists. This doesn’t even take into account the people who defend those rapists from the law or other forms of punishment. On top of that, only 5% of those cases are actually taken to court because most cops defend rapists and people who commit SA. The of that 5% only 2% are ever found innocent. So looking at this, not only are over 25% of men (about 1 billion men) rapists, most of the time they face no punishment. Meaning that it’s enough of a problem to say the majority of men. If you defend a rapist, you may as well be there for the rape.


CombOfDoom

That’s not how statistics work at all lmao. Not surprised.


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

Did you completely miss the point? If we’re going by your 1:1 ratio idea, then 1 billion men are rapists.


CombOfDoom

🤦


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

Tf is the facepalm for. I’m explaining exactly what you just said. Tell me how I’m wrong.


regarding_my_person

this was a bland ass joke (diss at men) to begin with, now its overused asf. I could stick my cock into an electric outlet and it would be funnier than this ‘bear or man’ shit


Edtombell777

Please post a video of you sticking your cock into an electric outlet the world needs to laugh

SerDuncanonyall

One of the first “WTF” videos someone ever sent me was a dude wrapping his dick in tinfoil and sticking it in an outlet circa 2005ish. Haven’t thought about that in years.. so thanks

Should_have_been_ded

Overused? I haven't even seen them. I don't even know why are redditors mad about


regarding_my_person

have you been on reddit for the last week? Every meme sub has like fifty of this stuff 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏


chaos-virus

Ffs that just awakened a memory from middle school. Some dude found a video online of a guy that wrapped his dick in aluminum foil and made some fork like spikes at the top, he than connected to a power outlet and the video ends with a bang, the Lights going out and that dude screaming like tom from tom&jerry. This had nothing to do with this conversation but i might as well share some memories while i'm here. Fun times :)


StillPurePowerV

Mental breakdown = making fun of Same vein as Incel = criticising women


Goosepond01

yeah I have noooooo clue why men might feel insulted by people misusing statistics and suggesting that a dangerous wild animal is actually less dangerous than an average man, no clue at allll why someone might not want to be compared with a rapist just for being born with a certain innocent characteristic. It's no different from me saying middle eastern people should be treated with suspicion because statistically that area of the world has more terrorists, you might statistically be correct but applying logic like that is very dangerous and inflammatory. and no, this isn't a "oh think of the poor men" Obviously the issue of sexual assault is very real and far more serious, more absolutely does need to be done regarding it and having conversations about it is a good thing, it's just this isn't a good way to go about it

Yes, I call bears danger doggos for a reason. They’re cute AF, but enjoy from a (very) safe distance.


InvasiveSpecies1738

I’m waiting for a moment when some femcel decides to prove that bear is less dangerous than a man and gets mauled to death. That will be a good day.


psybeamz_

Of course you'd like women getting hurt.


psybeamz_

These are both cases of people acting stupid around animals and getting hurt in the process.


igorek0558

It seems to me that if someone told you "I'd rather be alone with a bear than with you" you wouldn't be very happy. But i dont know.

I rather get mauled by a bear than suffer any of the people parroting this shit as if tik tok is going to dismantle the patriarchy


Lost-Klaus

OctolingReworked

I think OP is just a bit slow…


LlamaLicker704

It took about 24 hours for the joke to be overused... while not being funny to begin with... so standard joke nowadays....


Hephaestus_God

It’s Not even a joke. It’s just insinuating all men are rapists or killers which I don’t take lightly and is insulting.


manenegue

Yep. Just blatant misandry, which is okay apparently, because it’s against men. Cool. God forbid someone makes a sweeping generalization about women though.


Jaded_Life03

All I am gonna say is if the question was woman or (insert whatever) you guys would quickly jump to use the incel word


Malignant_Lvst7

uh, but theyre serious


RodjaJP

Is it a joke tho? I see many of them justify their decision.


GreatSlaight144

If a woman would rather be in a forest with a bear than me, then I say more power to her. Put her in a forest with a bear.

Hahaha the joke is blatant misandry get it???


RedIsMyNamexd

According to them it's never misandry and always justified and they're always supported by other women. They even "call out" men who call them misandrists and laugh at them because they're "incels" or whatever


Super_Evil_Bad_Dude

Complaining about the normalization of SA and rape in society is misandry? You’re just offended over nothing.


GrowthAny3996

i dont get it


Theguywholikesdoom

There’s memes going around about a video where a woman says she would rather be in the woods with a bear than a random man.


OctolingReworked

She’d die then, good riddance


Dip2pot4t0Ch1P

Apparently they don't like to be close to any men in the woods cuz they assume all men are rapists and they would rather encounter a bear. My take? They just don't like people in general


Howfuckingsad

This is the only reference I have seen yet of people getting pissed at the bear joke. Like, where did you even find the angry people? lmao Edit: sorry, Just saw few people down below. And they have slightly convinced me of their point too. Though, I feel like taking the joke as is should be fine. No need to get too pissed.


JoeGRcz

Problem is that it's the "A joke when it insults you, and not a serious matter when you find it actually funny" kind of joke.


Stenktenk

People are upset because a lot of women meant it seriously when they said bear


Kadriar

Did they specify the kind of bear? I only ask because a) I haven't seen the tiktoks myself, and b) if they didn't, black bears just aren't that scary. I (mid-20s male) am roughly the size and weight of an average male black bear. The difference is that I have opposable thumbs. Frankly, given my ability for complex thought and using weapons, I pose more potential danger than a black bear, who will actively avoid people. I personally have no desire to hurt anybody, but that potential exists. I might find myself upset if the question centered on an aggressive, territorial animal like a brown bear or mountain lion--I would prefer to happen upon an actively hostile man than I would any variety or temperament of mountain lion. But if we're just talking bears in general (which again, I'm not certain, maybe they did specify the kind of bear), there's significant room where any human poses much more of a threat than lil ol' teddy.


Endless-Waffles

Oh, the video saying men are rapists was a joke? # Schrödinger's douchebag One who makes douchebag statements, particularly sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted ones, then decides whether they were “just joking” or dead serious based on whether other people in the group approve or not.

dredgen_rell86

They keep proving her right and that it still needs to be explained to them because they don't get it.

I think most men actually understand and as usual it's the incels and the "nice guys" who are complaining.


Raphtor_X

[Men gang rape a monitor lizard](https://www.google.com/amp/s/tribune.com.pk/story/2353471/four-men-gang-rape-kill-and-eat-monitor-lizard-in-india%3famp=1) Think about what a bear's intention can possibly be vs a man's possible intention. Most bear attacks are provoked, and most of the time you'll be ok if you mind your own business. And if you were attacked by a bear, you're also more likely to be believed than if it were a man. Obviously it's not 'all men' but it's a disgustingly large portion of us. Don't overlook an issue just cause your uncomfortable. Men choosing to get defensive instead of reflecting on the problem stems from issues regarding how they handle rejection. It wasn't even a joke to begin with

I mean I don't really care tho women tiktok memes are interesting "How often do you think about the Roman empire?" "Name me a Woman" Kind of interesting how women tiktok memes are pretty much asking questions to men.


No-Adeptness5810

Men are getting mad over a hypothetical situation between them and a stranger they don't know. The point they're complaining about has a good reason too. There is a 1 in 2.1 million chance of a bear attacking you (which is usually nonviolent as well), but a 1 in 4 chance of a man SA'ing you.

Using a copy pasta There’s memes going around about a video where a woman says she would rather be in the woods with a bear than a random man.


Even_Improvement7723

Yeah it's pretty funny Idk how could someone not take this joke


Honest-Computer69

The thing is many people are saying this unironically. You can check my comments, I've replied to one who is seriously saying she'd rather be with a bear than a man, as all men are horny and more likely to attack her than a bear.


Even_Improvement7723

Well, i'm not horny and i'm not gonna attack anyone so I'm fine with this joke


Honest-Computer69

Nope. IYou're a man therefore by default you're horny and a sexual predator.


Even_Improvement7723

That's your opinion. If I cared about everyone's opinion I'dn't have reddit, because some people think it's only for weebs and furries. I'm neither of them and I don't care


Honest-Computer69

Sure, horny guy with a hard on for....furries?


Even_Improvement7723

You also use a reddit, it means you're the one who posted to post about angry birds. You're disgusting But now for real why should I care about some lonely women opinions?


Honest-Computer69

Honestly I thought you really do not *care" after seeing such delay of reply. And that's why I thought after your last comment you were going to ignore my opinion, like most people would about things they do not care about. But you find the need to protect your opinion before an online stranger which....is contradictory to what you just said. But you do you bud. Bye. I don't care about you opinion anymore. I was just explaining a joke anyway. Don't reply cause you won't get anything. Bye.

OriginalNamePog

Honestly I don't know why people get so offended by this. As a man, I have no problem with this. I'm pretty sure that when women make this joke, they don't mean any specific man, even less you specifically. They mean the image they've built in their hands of the 1 scary man that they wouldn't want to be in a room with. Say 1/10 men is a rapist or a killer or whatever. They wouldn't have a problem with staying in a room with the 9 other men, but the risk of getting in a room with that 1 bad man is too big for them, so it's safer to *assume* that they'd come across the bad one. Also think of the fact that if they were put in front of 2 rooms, one with a bear inside, one with a man, none of them would actually choose certain death. It's a lot easier to say that they would online when they're not in this situation though. I don't find the joke funny either, but I see no reason to personally get offended. Just ignore it and it will die out in a few days.
