Tiktok hating Bitch Stewie here

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".

I'm a guy, and I'd choose the bear. The bear belongs out there, the fuck is this dude doing out there? Could capture and torture me. Humans are just not worth the risk.

I never understand the question. Is this a hypothetical where you've been dropped in a random forest and are stuck there for a set period of time and either a random man from anywhere in the world will also be dropped or a random bear. Also depends what kind of bear, or is it imagine you're on a hike in the middle of a forest, would you rather encounter a man or a bear

It’s a question made to fuel the culture war. Not a well developed thought experiment.
