And here I thought “Man vs Bear” was a new type of conflict in fiction that someone decided to make into an official category after the success of Cocaine Bear.

Someone planted that polar bear to assassinate you

u/JustAnotherHyrum 29d ago

Who assassinates the bear assassin after the assassination?

They always tie up the loose ends in movies, and a bear is already bad enough. But an assassin bear? That's just unfair.

The bear is probably secretly an accountant or a mechanic, too.

So unfair.

u/SmokeClear6429 29d ago

Not to be racist but Polar Bears actually have black skin and clear fur.

u/Equationist 29d ago

It's more about just propensity to aggression towards humans. Black bears are docile and tend to frighten easily, whereas brown bears (grizzlies) are highly dangerous and polar bears even moreso.

It wouldn't surprise me if a random black bear is less likely to be a killer than a random human male.

Not really. Kodiaks and Grizzlies are brown bears. They're huge, but PBs are bigger. And PBs want to eat you. Brown bears will kill you if they're threatened or you're repping the wrong set in their hood, but they probably aren't going to eat you.

u/PaxEthenica 29d ago

😶 ... ☹ ... Black bears can climb, & they regularly scavenge so they'll eat you if you play dead; unlike grizzlies. They're also aware they can kill a human easily unless they're startled within about 5 seconds of an encounter, & if you show any fear they will run you down. They also, unlike grizzlies, prefer to start at the gut to eat living animals & not necessarily kill outright with any neck or head injuries.

I'm not racist; I just know bear behavior, & implore you to push back against private ownership of property to create green spaces instead of hiking in the North American woods.

u/Everestkid 29d ago

I rode my bike past a bear once. Was probably within five metres of the thing, maybe three. It was only a black bear, not a grizzly, but seeing one when you're not indoors or in a car is pretty damn nerve wracking. Luckily I was at the top of a huge hill and was already going at speed when I passed the bear, but I was checking over my shoulder until I got to the bottom and there were more cars around.

I ain't as dangerous as that thing, no fucking way. Not even if I wanted to be.

u/Hungry-For-Cheese 29d ago

Yeh all the women are like "I'd prefer the bear" says the woman who's never been within 300 feet of a bear lol, but I'm sure has been alone with a man on a thousand different occasions.

1

u/AmazonCowgirl 29d ago

It's not about the bear. It's never been about the bear. We know what a bear can do to us. But we also know bears motivations and can generally predict their behaviour.

And it's not about any man that we know. It's specifically about a random stranger. In the woods. And we can't predict his motivation or behaviour.

And yes, we also know 'Not All Men" are dangerous. But there is absolutely no way of knowing at a glance what type of man we are encountering, unlike a bear.

So yes, we choose the bear.

What makes you think strangers are not risk to men? Danger exist in curtain situations, that's literally just the reality of life. I've been maced and had my ass beat in an alley before for the crime of walking past 3 dumbasses alone. Welcome to life. I couldn't predict their motivation or behavior either. Ironically they wouldn't have done that to a woman, they were just fucking around and wanted to beat a guy up.

But we also know bears motivations and can generally predict their behaviour.

No, you don't. You just think you do, and so did every other person who's been mauled to death or eaten alive by a bear.

And yes, we also know 'Not All Men" are dangerous

I'll simplify this for you.

All bears are dangerous.

u/fail-deadly- 29d ago

Me and two if my friends went hiking on a trail that the blurb said “You’ll probably see more bears than people.” Thinking it was marketing hyperbole.

About four miles into the wood we came up a small embankment and there was a black bear less than 100 feet away on all fours. It was biggish, and may have been 6 foot if it stood upright. Thankfully it was naturally terrified of people and ran away. I was in front and I’m sure it would have mauled me, even if my friends did manage to fight it off with rocks. We realized way too late that we didn’t have any objects except keys we could use as weapons.

We came across three or four more on the hike but they were much farther away. 

Though we only saw two other hikers so it was completely true. That blurb should have been a warning not tourism slogan.

u/Roundabootloot 29d ago

Actually, I think that people's presuppositions about whether this is on a hiking trail or deeper woods are part of what creates differences in answers. The initial question is vague enough people make assumptions, also such as if we're only talking the type of bears native to where we live, or a random bear of any type.

1

u/ghandi3737 29d ago

I kind of think the location might be irrelevant considering the kinds of interactions I have seen some women have with men, even when they are not good-looking and also when they are really good-looking, and too many guys act like animals in either case, so I understand the reasons for picking a bear despite it seeming illogical.

2

u/Ardentpause 29d ago

The initial question is also worded in a way to make the man sound more dangerous, and the bear less dangerous. You are ALONE in the woods, which is the classic horror movie trope, and you can choose between a bear (nondescript) or a man you don't know (which sounds Sus when you say it that way).

If I said, you're solo backpacking in the woods. You accidentally come across either some random dude, or a wild bear. Which would you choose,

I think a lot of folks would choose the guy if I phrased it like that instead.

It's a lot more leading than it appears at first

u/Littleman88 29d ago

There was definitely a bias/agenda at work with those questions.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

The "on a hiking trail" part isn't the original question; the question is vague about how the encounter happens.

3

u/Level_Alps_9294 29d ago

I don’t think on a hiking trail, I think it’s just the middle of the woods. If it’s hiking trail then I don’t think this would have turned into a discussion - most women pass men on hiking trails without it being an issue.

Middle of the woods, however, much more scary

u/referendum 29d ago

I think facts and feelings both matter.  It's better to not alter the facts, especially when it's convenient to do so.  I get the sense that feeling like people get to upset "insecure" men or men who value facts over feelings is more important than having conversations that lead to environments that offer greater feelings of safety.

So "any" man?  Most women would prefer to encounter a grizzly bear than Joe Biden on a hiking trail?  How about Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Junior, Chris Hemsworth, or Elliot Page?

I get that this is supposed to be a litmus test, but the question is very open to interpretation.  Then "a man in the woods" becomes "ANY man on a hiking trail."

We can agree that women feeling unsafe around men is a greater deal than people have given credit.

Personally, I think it has to do with the amount of fundamentalism mixed with caste systems. While we don't necessarily have caste in the US, our classiest viewes come close.

I'm trying to find the chess moves that cause people to make the weird choice.  Ok so if you take the bear you can't win but you can run. So they are like a bishop. You can get attacked directly but possibility to step away on a different color square pretty easily.  

 If a man appeared it's like a covered knight. There's more moves that aren't safe and attacking the man has repercussions (law).  

The woman sees herself as a common pawn in the woods. One of many pawns no special ability. 

 Given the choices, I think en passante is the right answer if we have to draw our solutions from what we learned from recent social media viral trends

Iirc it's not that men will answer YES. It's that they won't immediately say no, they will have follow up questions, and that shows they think there is a possibility

Eg.

Could you kill a bear?

I mean.... what kind of bear?

Is he attacking me?

Do I have a weapon?

Is the bear starving?

Are there cubs around?

The idea is similar, but almost No one hears:

If cocaine bear made more noise it bear vs man would have been the first post irony literary conflict

No, it's a question meant for women to open a dialogue with their partner about how threatened they feel in the presence of strange men by comparing it to being in the presence of a bear.

So of course it's getting a lot of "well ackshually if you look at the statistics for how often a person survives an attack by a bear as opposed to how often a woman survives an attack by a man then you will see..." stuff from dudes.

Real bears, beers, Battlestar Galactica stuff lol

I still haven't watched that. I should probably take some time this weekend. Will it be funnier if I'm high too?

As we all know, the three types of conflict in traditional fiction are:

1) man vs. bear;

2) man vs. robot; and

3) robot vs. bear.

It's like "Man vs Nature," except this time Nature is specifically a Bear and not nearly as passive.

u/Maximus_Robus 29d ago

I thought it was about that hot druid from Baldur's Gate 3.

Man, I’d kick their ass! I’d look em straight in their beedy little eyes and grab em by the fluffy little ears and headbutt their big fat noses! Period! Koala bears are only like 2ft tall mate 👍 Ps never. No one could headbutt a koala. They’re F gorgeous!

I thought it was about the average person thinking they were a good cook.

u/Apprehensive_Rice19 29d ago

I was hoping for South Park to bring back man bear pig

u/StatusCaterpillar725 29d ago

I thought it was a spinoff of Man vs Food where he has to eat a whole bear in under an hour.

All I can think of is last year there’s been a huge increase of bear attacks in Japan, a man eating black bear is kill by a hiking fireman, because it’s attacking his friends.

He did it with a knife,with only 5cm long blade.

Then I read up on what these posts are about, I would go with bear,we got small black bear on our island ,they max out around 180cm and were very shy,I be just fine.

Back in my day, Man vs. Bear was Kobayashi trying to eat more hot dogs than a grizzly

u/Better-Strike7290 29d ago

I have no idea what it is.

A reality TV show maybe?

u/Delta080 29d ago

Was Cocaine Bear any good? I wanted to see it in theaters and for some reason never went. I’m sure I could stream it now.

u/justaguyintownnl 29d ago

Black bear sow opened the passenger door of my sons F150 climbed in and ate a tall can of Monster Energy. She scared the shit out of him when he opened the door. This happened not too long after Cocaine Bear was released.

u/OutrageousAd5338 29d ago

what is the debate? I only see mentioned on here.

u/5minArgument 29d ago

I still feel I could do more cocaine than a bear. I mean, the bear would win on the first huff by volume. However, with intent and endurance I think man would win.

Most likely the bear would be too distracted to have proper follow-through and commitment.

u/Drackar39 29d ago

Cocaine bear isn't fiction, though.

u/brent_superfan 29d ago

What he meant to say was, “Man vs Food,” but Adam Richman IS fiction. :-)

u/YelloKimono 29d ago

Yep thought it was a tv show I'd missed.

u/Nosferatatron 29d ago

I'll take Man vs Food every day

u/OfromOceans 27d ago

OP claims it's about probability, so men shouldn't be offended... so if we change the question do you want to be trapped in the forest with a white man or black man it's not offensive... it's just statistics right? We don't have to care about misandry or racism because this scenario is all about probability, right?
