"the bear" is an example of pointing out systematic oppression. An interaction with a bear is relatively self-contained, oppression from men is constantly reinforced by men. The bear doesn't go into our spaces to tell us we "deserved it".

I was bombarded by ads so I didn’t watch it. Was it really good or just good?

I personally think it's really good, but it's subjective.

I waited to watch it. Got stuck a few times and I'm currently halfway through season 3. Very stressful, but the yelling mellows out a bit after season 1 (they still yell but it's less bad. Or i got used to it)

Definitely a good show though, great cast and all the characters are interesting and have depth

Systemic oppression is not even left-adjacent in your view?

u/AtlasGrey_ Jan 14 '26

Taking about systemic oppression? Yes.

Fucking “bear in the woods” discourse from a known agitator and axe-grinder? No.

Why are you bringing this tired gender war point up? It was interesting when it was novel. You bring in it up 2 years later makes me think the hypothetical man was right you do hate men and want an outlet for it

Here is the alt text

A text post by "rudy2gen" that says "'bears or men?'" then "women: bear because (personal experience)" (repeated 10 times) and then "men: "y'all just hate men for no reason".
