which is exactly the whole point of this rage bait & spread through meme formats like this
Do you truly believe this meme was intentionally crafted and released as part of some coordinated effort with specific intent of stewing division between the sexes?
No one can prove who created this meme - at least as far as I’m aware.
However, after it was created, it certainly has been boosted and magnified by right wing organizations and intelligence operations to cause the working class to turn on itself and dehumanize one another. Which is always what fascism does to distract from oligarchic wealth and societal decay.
This meme is evil. It isn’t funny or cute. It’s intentionally cancerous and we need to stop spreading such hate.
Because it isn’t white men in wealthy suburban communities who will suffer from this. Rather, it will be the black, brown, and migrant men who are already dehumanized and seen as superpredators.
After all, why was it so wrong for the police to murder George Floyd - he was more dangerous than a bear and (white) women were afraid of him. Given that, it seems that those hero cops acted in accordance with our society’s values, doesn’t it? Or, if we reject that notion, then we must also reject “memes” like this that further the dehumanization that leads to his murder
My friend, I genuinely think you are expressing paranoid and delusion behavior. I’m not trying to be funny, I’m not trying to win any arguments, I genuinely believe that is an unhealthy amount of very specific narrative subtext to read into this. Trying to equate this mild trend making almost milquetoast commentary on real violence trends against women with the state-sanction murder by police of George Floyd is borderline unhinged thinking.
The superstructure of society encourages dehumanization of black and brown and “foreign” men because they are seen as dangerous violent animals. This is a centuries old rhetorical ploy by the ruling class to subordinate the masses through fear. This meme contributes to and furthers such ideology
Did a single individual anti Semitic poster in 1934 Germany cause Dachau? Of course not. But that single individual poster was one of millions of contributing factors that caused the conditions that allowed for the Holocaust
We should recognize and denounce such hatred when we see it
We aren’t talking about the othering of a type of human here, we are talking about MEN. 50% of the human population. To imply that this remotely resembles the way in which Whiteness has repeated overtly othered minority segments is beyond just disingenuous, it is knowingly manipulative and nefarious.
This one specifically? No idea. But I’ve seen several variations of this by now, including fresh accounts on that other site that post some absolutely ridiculous Tinder convos, and then begging for the bear in the title. This whole thing is spreading so much that I highly doubt it is entirely organic. And if it is organic, then honestly, that’d probably be even worse because of how much it would say about us as a society who believes in so much bullshit. Given that we literally know that foreign operations target specifically shit like this in social media we should already be extra aware, but even without that, we should simply start to be more decent. Something you fail to do if you spread & support those type of disinformation and toxic stereotypes & downright accusations.
