Most MEN would probably choose bear as well, we're that tired of your shit.

This comic is from 2023, it's completely unrelated to the man or bear question.

Or was it written by a time traveler

I'm out of the loop what is this question

If you are a woman, and found yourself in the woods, would you feel safer with a man or a bear?

Is this some kind of "men are dangerous animals" thing?

It's basically the perfect rage-bait question, because everyone immediately has an answer based on their emotions and assumes everyone else interpreted the core question the same way.

It's more like that man have an alternative motive, while a bear is a bear

For some reason, I'm reading the "your" here as gendered. Which is weird, because I like to ask my (not terminally online) boyfriend his opinion of online drama, and when I explained to him that women were saying they'd choose a bear over a strange man, he said, "That's the obvious choice. Everyone should chose the bear over a stranger. People are awful."

Gendering it was probably unnecessary. If you made the question "would you rather meet a bear in the woods, or a stranger," most people would say the bear.

Because people are terrible.
