I find it very difficult to empathize with the ‘bear thing,’ because, as my fiance (who is a man) put it, ‘I don’t know why anyone would pick any other human over the bear. Bears tend to avoid you and do your own thing. Humans are unpredictable.’
From that perspective, it seemed like a lot of people just got mad because they identify with the word ‘man,’ here, and don’t want to think of themselves as capable of evil. Which would be naive, because everyone is capable of anything.
