@tomie "pretty much anyone close to the woods"

this is what i mean. there is no context provided whatsoever in the thought experiment so you can't make an actual judgement call.

is the dude wearing a park ranger uniform at a national park? is the bear a black bear or a brown bear? are you lost in the woods or do you live there? is it day or night? are you on a trail or off the trail? are you actually in need of help?

all of these things would affect your decision making in the exact moment you would be seeing a bear or a man while you were alone in the woods. you would never get the opportunity to choose which one popped up, either.

some people choose the bear because in their mind, they have created a situation where the bear would be the safer option. other people choose the man because of the exact opposite reason... their imagined situation is different. but it just gets boiled down to "men hate women so women choose bear" and "women choose bear because women hate men." it's extremely unproductive and retarded.

i've also seen a lot of british people bringing up the fact that shondo calling him a groomer is more or less a brit thing to do, where we would take it a lot more seriously in the US. indeed, i have heard "nonce" being used as a pretty casual insult.

just a friendly reminder that despite speaking the same language (mostly) we are still an ocean away and have a pretty vastly different culture.

nuance is fuckin dead man.

@tomie honestly the whole bear vs man thing is really retarded to me lol, i understand the reasoning for both of them but it's a super vague thought experiment that feels specifically manufactured to widen the gender divide. it deserves to be reduced to meme status but people take it way too seriously.

@tomie what i'm saying is that there is a balance that should be struck, but because each side views what has been pushed upon them in such a visceral manner, they will push harder. in return, it gets even worse and then people push even harder.
