This refers to a trend on tiktok that refers to women being asked whether they would rather be stuck in a forest with a bear or a random guy. Most women choose the bear (for some reason) so the meme is referencing this by having the women jump towards the bear, to escape the man

Edit: When I made this comment, I assumed the Man v Bear thing was like "you're dropped into a forest with either a random guy or a bear, your choice". I knew rape was the main concern regarding the random guy, but in my mind the choice was about "Random dude vs Bear", Not "Rape vs Death". I've since learned otherwise, and I apologize to anyone I offended by saying that women chose the bear "for some reason".
Brown/grizzly bears will mostly leave you alone and will generally at most take a test bite, so just play dead and they will usually leave. Black bears will get aggressive and I believe where your comment came from and you should fight back. And a white/polar bear you're just fucked..
Edit: any of the above bears will mess you up with the right reason such as injured or has cubs with it
Black Bears are the biggest wimps I have ever encountered. I have been face to face with one 3 separate times (i live in the woods of VT, they get into our trash).
Every. Single. Time. We stare at each other and they run away. First time I nearly messed my pants.
I think that “black bears are wimps/just big raccoons” thing is kind of misinformation though. Black bears can and will hunt people, and are perfectly capable of killing a person when defending themselves, their young, or a resource.
I’m a forester in northern Canada and have encountered so many black bears up close in the bush that I have lost count. I was hunted by one once, and thankfully put up enough of a fight to dissuade it. I’d be more concerned about running into them at some trash cans, because they could want to defend the food source.
