    I still think the bear question is completely loaded

    I would ALWAYS choose the bear. Everyone I know would ALWAYS choose the bear. If the random man was a person they were close to, most people would STILL choose the bear because bears are rad as hell

      This is my take.

      My boyfriend isn’t terminally online so I often tell him things like this, in an impartial way.

      “The internet is mad because some women have been saying they would rather be alone in a forest with a bear than with a strange man.”

      Him: “Why is this a question? People are always the objectively worse answer.”

      “Well… some people are pointing out that the type of bear is important-”

      Him: “I would rather risk being mauled by a bear than have to deal with a stranger. Why is this controversial? I thought people on the internet hated people?”

      Yeah. Bears will leave you alone if you leave them alone, and also I want to see a bear. I’ve only seen bears at a zoo.

        I met a bear, his breath smelled of rotted flesh and death. So make sure you bring a ton of tic-tac’s.
