Do I have too deep knowledge in #gay culture, or is this joke also understandable by lots of others?

Pretty sure shows like Last Week Tonight have done β€˜bear’ jokes and would do this one, so I'd expect it to be understandable to the majority of people … at least in this sort of audience ;) (I.e. maybe not including ultra conservatives, but largely mainstream.)

Actually, I can pretty much only hear the above text in John Oliver's voice now. But maybe that's because he speaks in Rotis Serif?

... I'm also absolutely fine with people only getting it because I wrote what I wrote, and looking it up. Subtle jokes that need a second thought are sooo much more wholesome (to me, at least)

I wouldn't describe myself as deep in gay culture, but... I don't know what 'Women are taking all the bears' means.

@noam There is this discussion going on, whether women would prefer to be alone with a bear in the woods than with a man. And most women prefer the bear, with relatable and valid reasoning.

@Rhonda D'Vine πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ I have the smattering of knowledge of gay culture that comes from hanging around people who (I believe) have a deep knowledge of it (but not in a context where that's a daily topic) and that's enough to understand the joke :)

I get it (but I also have a lot of friends and family in the gay community). Bears are pretty great πŸ˜‰

@Wraithe I just spent way longer giggling about that than was probably necessary. I do have many years of hagdom under my belt though, so I don't think I fit the "lots of others" category that well either...

At one point, I really thought it was about straight men vs gay men. And I was like, "Yeah, that makes sense."

I think that I might get it (I’m thinking of the guy that somewhat alarmed Prince Edward while he was knocking on doors looking for Giselle), but now I’m wondering which kind of bears that women are less worried about.

I'm an old lady. I haven't had a sex life to speak of since the Obama administration. Yet still when this thought experiment started circulating, it took a good few sitcom comic beats before I realised "Oh! A _literal_ bear!"

This cis hettie gets the reference, but I do have gay friends and are therefore somewhat familiar with the lingo.

@sire I love the phrase "typlical Het woman whose best friend is gay". :progress_pride:
