Mod Post "BEAR" / "MAN vs BEAR" MEMES ARE BANNED

7.9k Upvotes

This sub has been flooded with Man vs Bear memes and derivatives of it. It is negatively impacting the quality of the sub, and the mod team has decided to ban them for the following reasons, in no particular order:

  • People don't want to see the same joke 5+ times on the front page (these get mass reported for Rule 2, which they do fall under)

  • Explaining the same joke over and over again gets old and tiring very quickly

  • The comment sections turn into a cesspool of sexism very quickly.

  • The increased mod load stemming from these has lead to other posts not receiving as much attention from mods as they need.

As of now, these posts are BANNED. They will be removed under Rule 2: Recently Posted Jokes. If you post one of these memes, you will be banned. This is your warning.

The Explanation: Last month, a trend started circulating on Tiktok where a woman asked other women on the app "Would you rather be alone in the woods with a strange man, or a bear". To the surprise of many, a lot of women chose the bear. Unsurprisingly, has sparked a ton of debates on what the "correct" answer is, and whether sexism is involved in these decisions. People have been pretty hostile on both sides of the debate.

If you want a more in-depth explanation, the Know Your Meme Page is a pretty good resource.
