'I chose the bear': Man Throws Away His Girlfriend's Sentimental Teddy Bear Because It's 'Disgusting,' She Retaliates By Destroying His Lego Sets

There's a trending hypothetical question that has sparked some debate on TikTok: if you were stuck in the middle of the forest, would you prefer to encounter a man or a bear? Videos posing this question are overwhelmingly flooded with comments by fellow women stating, 'I choose the bear.' This choice demonstrates how it is hammered into us from childhood to beware of strange men, especially in isolated areas, and it is also a testament to our lived experiences as women navigating a world that is not built for our safety. But ladies, let me ask you this: in a relationship, would you choose a man or a teddy bear?

Our protagonist in today's reddit drama was faced with this question when her boyfriend threw away her precious teddy bear, a memento from her late grandmother. Sure, he was grimy and dingy, but we prefer to use the term well-loved. In retaliation, she reduced her boyfriend's collection of Lego sets to smithereens. Netizens were quick to take her side— after all, he can rebuild his collection, but her childhood friend was doomed to a landfill. A handful of netizens critiqued our protagonist for stooping to his level; is it really righteous that her reaction to his terrible deed was to try to make him feel that same pain that she felt? And it would take him hours upon hours to meticulously sort out the blocks that went with each set and then rebuild them. Either way, it seems like this relationship was heading to the same place as the dear old teddy. Don't worry! She managed to locate and rescue her fluffy companion, but her relationship did go to the dumps. She broke it off with her mans and "chose the bear." So, what's the verdict? Does an eye for an eye make the whole world blind?
