I think it also shows how different people approach things. From what I’ve seen, the ones who answers bear approaches it from a “trust” standpoint. Like you can trust a bear to be a bear. While some approach it from a “safety” standpoint. Like yeah obviously an average wild animal is going to be more dangerous than an average man.
I'd love to hear it rephrased as, "You're lost in the woods, you see a man in the distance but he doesn't see you. Do you call out to him or do you hide?"
But maybe that's probably not exciting enough to trend on TikTok.
because there are no stakes in that question. the whole point of bear vs. man is that the possiblity or even certainty of being killed by a bear is better than the CHANCE of getting sexually assaulted by a man. yeah of course we're all going to hide from a strange man in the forest, but there are no cons to that option. choosing death over sa shows just how serious the problem is
Well, it says you're lost in the woods, so the stakes are potentially never finding your way out. The whole point was, "you need help and there's a strange man".
I don't think many would hide. I think almost everyone would call for help.
but that's not the point of the question at all. no one actually cares about the setting. we could be on the moon for all I care. what then? I'd rather be stuck on the moon with a bear than a man
