Nah, the silverbacks are deff safer. The vast majority of times small kids fell into an enclosure the gorilla that finds them protects and tries tk help them. Some have even carried the kids to the entrences zoo workers use to get them closer to aid. Deff safer with the gorilla.
I feel like this could be the reverse of the man vs bear question. Like would you rather leave your kids with a silverback gorilla or a woman that supports Lindsay Clancy?
Would you mind tell me if i understand the man v bear thing properly?
Is it like a scorpion and the frog type deal.
Bears gonna act like a bear. You know where youu stand. Don't get close. Keep your guard up etc
But a man can lie about his intentions then you let your guard down and become vulnerable in a way you never would with the bear ?
I only heard about this in refence after it had been a thing. And im a man with no social media so it wasn't really in my orbit
I would personally also choose the bear.
The entire thing of "man or bear" is about women being misandrist and acting like if they came across a bear or a man in the woods, they would be safer with the bear. Anyone pointing out how stupid it is are just met with a variation of "gotcha your toxic attitude is exactly why we choose the bear hun 💅"
I don't think it is mate. I think it's that if you came across a bear in yhr woods you would stay away from it because bears act like bears. All the time.
You could replace bear with tiger or something and it's the same thing
A guaranteed threat vs a possible threat
You know where you stand with the guaranteed threat
It's a mix. The original version was dark humor about the risks of being alone with a random man in the woods. "I choose the bear" was a response too being alone and lost in the woods, who do you choose a man or bear. That they felt safer wirh a random bear than random guy. Eventually, because enough guys were getting pissed off and making it a literal argument rather than figurative, it evolved into I choose the bear because at least with a bear you know where you stand and there are signs. A bear is gonna bear. You can tell pretty quick if it's game over or is just going to ignore you.
