RIP Harambe. 😭
The other side of the bracket is all the cuddly ones.
I considered making the other side of the bracket, but figrured the posts would get annoying fast.
Also wolves and bears are cuddly??
Lemmy apparently has a men’s lib reddit style instance. Essentially its a gross men’s instance where they cry about “men’s rights” wtf ever that may be. Cause ya know men def don’t have enough rights. Anyway they are taking this bear thing pretty seriously and essentially proving the womens points without being conscious of the fact. I say this as a man, get fucked neckbeards. Go cry to mommy, the only woman that’ll ever love you
I think you’re confused. The men’s lib community is a progressive, feminist-supporting space focused on giving men an opportunity to discuss matters of vulnerability and struggle. They try to help people struggling with mental issues hard times, and discuss how to counter toxic masculinity type shit.
I’m not involved in the Lemmy community but I used to check out the Reddit one back when I still got on there. The toxic neckbeard shit that’s up in arms about the overblown man v bear shit is the MRA (“men’s rights”) group.wut.
Trick question, Wolf is a male surname.
AROOO THE WOLF
HELL YEAH BRÖTHER! WOLVES WILL RESPECT YOUR PERSONAL SPACE AS LONG AS YOU RESPECT THEIRS! THEY COULD ALSO RAISE YOUR YOUNG 'UNS TO FORM ONE OF THE MOST HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CITIES/EMPIRES IN HISTORY! AROOOOOOOOOOO(ME)
Does this forest get smaller over the course of the night like a hunger games arena?
Animal royale
We should do the opposite of Noah’s arc where we put 2 of every animal, including humans, in the Houston Astrodome and have them fight to the death until one emerges.
Do we all get prep time. And can animals who are capable of making them get tools, or do we have to make tools ourselves
He didnt say forest. He said Forrest, as in Gump. Maybe Forrest gets smaller as he gets old.
I’d pick wolf. They generally leave you alone and don’t want anything to do with you. I don’t know shit about gorillas
Also, wolves are crap at climbing trees.
Gorillas will tear off your face and testicles AFAIK. Just imagine the depraved shit a human would do to you assuming they could get away with it without repercussion.
They wouldn’t hesitate to fuck you up.
I picked man over bear because man probably won’t eat you. But if gorilla is a choice, that wins. Gorilla is friend as long as you keep your head low and he knows he’s the boss. Also don’t suprise him.
The bear also isn’t going to rape you and I would say the chances of the bear eating you and the man eating you are the same.
Bear detected
You forgot to change accounts before posting again 🐻
because man probably won’t eat you.
that’s why I dumped my last boyfriend
cancels surprise birthday party for Koko Jr
🥳
Oh shii… is torn limb from limb as your noisemaker and party hat digress from Koko Jr’s expectations
To be clear, I’m not trying to get into a man v bear debate here. But, like, a man could still kill you, right? Is that better than being eaten? I mean, I guess it’s probably less likely. I’m no expert on bears or random forest men.
Im betting on the fact that humans have baked in altruism. We want to help each other. As a kid I got stuck in the forrest with my dirt bike and a gnarly looking guy helped me get home with his truck. It was a scary experience and it was a risk. I think most people are basically good. Men just have the strength to act on it when they are bad people.
you’ve never been a woman, have you?
No I haven’t. But I have been sexually assaulted. I know from first hand experience how awful men can be. And I’d still pick a strange man over a bear to be stuck in the woods with. You can’t reason with a bear. You cant plead for your life. It will pin you to the ground and eat you alive ass-first. I’d rather be raped and shot or strangled if it came to that. But you do you.
you’ve come sooooo close to understanding their point, and then just walked away going “nope, wimmin are wrong.”
Hey I’m just comparing outcomes. Is a person ‘wrong’ for comitting suicide? No. That’s their call. If the prospect of choosing ‘man’ is so terrifying that they must bear, that is sad but it makes sense.
I’m a big ugly dude. I can tell I give most women the creeps. When I’m walking around my neightborhood, I cross to the opposite side of the street whenever I pass women. I literally go out of my way to communicate to women I’m not interested in hurting them.
Despite efforts like that, I’ve been wrongfully accused of sexual assault while working in a workers comp office. Getting grilled by an angry female detective was terrifying and humiliating. I could have gone on the list just because some idiot was mad about their case outcome.
I’m not saying “I’m just as scared of you as you are of me” But I’m fucking terrified of women. It sucks having to take this form. Does it suck as much as being a vulnerable women? Not my place to say.
Maybe I still don’t get it. I dont know. But it seems like this man/bear exercise is inflammitory hyperbole designed to raise to awareness about how women feel about men - something I feel I’ve been made aware of by my own experiences.
If you still think I dont get it, feel free to spell it out for me. I’m just a big dumb guy after all.
you’re comparing outcomes without understanding that different outcomes impact different people in different ways.
But, like, a man could still kill you, right? Is that better than being eaten?
I mean generally being eaten entails entrails leaking out, whereas getting killed could entail any number of things. Neck snap, choked out, slit throat, whatever. I dunno if your average idiot man is gonna be as proficient of a killer as a bear, even if they happen to be a murderer or like, just evil, right, so, I dunno. Kind of a toss up. Me personally, I would rather not have my guts spilled out, ribcage crushed, spine snapped, bones gnawed on while I’m still conscious, slowly lose blood and lose consciousness over the course of 30 minutes to an hour. I mean I guess theoretically a man could do those things too, but I dunno many men that could. Maybe like, the mike tyson of 40 years ago?
I guess the argument I’m making hinges on the idea that humans are generally bad at killing in a physiological sense, and their need to kind of, up themselves in the game means that they tend to get filtered into a bunch of more painless and efficient approaches relative to the kind of uncaring cruelty of nature more generally. But then I dunno, humans also have a capacity for needless cruelty and torture, so I’d also be betting my chances that I don’t get shafted and stuck with like, a super jacked serial killer that can torture me with their bare hands, which there’s probably only like 2 or 3 of in the world. Maybe more if you include government contracted ones.
Wolf. Not only do I think my chances are better, I’d also feel less bad about trying to fuck up a wolf if I had to
Considering there’s basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don’t think you’d have to worry about the ethics of the situation.
I’ll admit “trying” was doing a lot of heavy-lifting in that sentence ;)
Gorilla? I feel like being super submissive and not making eye contact would probably keep it from tearing off my arms to use as drumsticks? I’m not a gorilla expert though, so anyone who knows more can feel free to tell me. Although I guess with a wolf, you could just climb a tree and be ok, depending on how long you have to stay. Either, I guess. I’m pretty convinced that I’ll die trying to pet a wild animal when the moron part of my brain tells me it’s friend-shaped, anyway, so whatever.
Wolf 100%. It’s without its pack and I’d have some chance to fight it off. A gorilla would tear me in half.
Run, Forrest, run!
Definitely wolf. If I get trapped with a gorilla and some shots it to save me, humanity get will get so much negative karma on top of what we are still paying from 2016 and I won’t be able to live with the guilt.
Are we talking a sign language-using gorilla with a pet kitty or…?
Really missed the opportunity to have the top bracket be “Lions” and “Tigers”
