You are in a forest in Second Life. Would you rather run into a someone in a man avatar or a bear avatar?

[Bree Giffen]

And why? 

[Cinnamon Mistwood]

Since I can legally hunt either in SL without hunting tags, both are fair game.

/me nocks an arrow

I could also just hike and go sightseeing without any preferences on the wildlife I see.

/me loads film in her camera and pulls out her binoculars.

Answer: Depends on the day

[Arielle Popstar]

I can think of some forumites I would be less inclined to run into then a man or a bear!

Reason being they are not fun or good to eat.

[Scylla Rhiadra]

This question was a major flustercuck when it first appeared on Twitter.

Should be fun to see what happens with it here.

If the bear is either from the new "C0caine Bear" or "Winnie the Pooh" movies, I may choose the man. 

Because those bears are some scary ursines.

I'm not a fan of 'movements' that cause more fear in women of men, and portraying men as some threat to them.

"Out of eight women in the video, seven replied that they would pick a bear over a man, with only one going for the other option. The video went viral, garnering over 14 million views on TikTok in three weeks."

Sad.

Bear.

Chances are I'm going to be a frog, so a few more animals and we'll have a perfectly good Disney film.

[Ceka Cianci]

It wouldn't matter to me.. They both freak out when you fire a round off.. hehehe

[Love Zhaoying]

Really, they are both a "man controlling an avatar".  Assume both can climb trees.

The bear may be more fun to RolePlay with.

[MissSweetViolet]

Bear, cause then I can switch to my TWI Wolf and we can roam the forest. A new friend! \o/

[Rowan Amore]

I can outsmart most men but I'm not sure about the bear so I'll pick the man.

[Paul Hexem]

I can feel a Linden watching this thread already. I'm not gonna say what I was gonna say.

[Midnoot]

Imma say man avatar, because if he just happens to be one of those statistics , which is waaay less likely to happen than what people wanna make you believe , I can stand a chance against him in scripted weapon combat :3... unlike the bear who will literally begin eating my face before I die and get sent home . 

 

 

... unless you're in london.

The question failed to specify the AGE of the man, or bear.  I don't want to be caught around some underage "man" in the woods, so I'll pick the bear.

If it was between a woman and a bear, that's easy - the bear is more friendly, like Smokey

I would rather run into a bear avatar because I don't see those too often. I don't think I've ever seen a bear avatar to be honest.

[Stephanie Misfit]

Either is fine, as they don't pose any threat to me in SL, and discussions should be limited to SL only of course.

[Ineffable Mote]

I'd go with a woolly bear. Worst case scenario, they're still far better than watching grass grow or paint dry.

 

(grendels used to sell them too, no idea if they still do. I found them fun for taking photos of in my newb days)

Yes, it is, isn't it?

[CaerolleClaudel]

Neither. I groan when I wind up someplace with men in SL, but I would guess any bears would also be men IRL. However, in 17 years of being in SL off and on I am pretty sure I have never seen a bear, but men are almost everywhere.

IRL, if we are talking about in a remote area or even on a less-populated trail in a state park, I would choose a bear, though there are no bears in the Midwest other than the large, hairy gay men. Who I would far rather run across than a straight man or an actual bear.

I don't really do Twitter, but I have seen a lot of TikToks by women on this question, and I don't know about a flustercuck, but they all make a really, really good case for the bear.

Yeah, it started on TikTok, and then appeared on Twitter, where it generated a LOT of heat . . . because, Twitter.

And most women there opted for the bear as well.

[InnerCity Elf]

Under the influence of a hundreds of pages of forum thread, I'd ignore both, hug a tree and fill my lungs with forest air for a sec, plus points if resin scent, while I'm already in a forest, and then tp to a 0 traffic sim.

[Sid Nagy]

These kind of threads reassure me, that I'm doing the right thing to spend 99+% of my SL-time alone.
Carry on.
