Mean world syndrome is a real thing that you should look into tbh. True crimes shows have created a strong culture of fear amongst people. If you are honestly picking a random fucking bear over a random guy then that’s just saying something incredibly sad about the world.

I get the point this makes about women fearing assault but honestly this outlook is incredibly toxic.

I remember seeing a post on r/agedlikemilk which theorised that Russell Brand was leaning more into right wing talking points in anticipation of the looming rape accusations being made public.

I wonder if the same thing is happening here.
