Yes, but these bears have very cleverly evolved the ability to seem irresistibly cute to the current master species of this planet. From personal observations, they seem to emit some sort of aura that induce people (in particular post-puberty to adult females humans who I'm trying to date) to emotionally melt down and make incomprehensible "cooing" noises. This aura increases in strength with increases in proximity to these bears, and is most pronounced in younger bears. The effect is particularly strong and can remain for several hours in the host even if bears are removed. This can and has led the host engaging in questionable (and often regrettable) activities with me she would otherwise refrain from doing.
In any case, for all their microbiome weakness, they've evolved a rather fascinating survival strategy to cope with humans so I don't think these bears will be removed by natural selection any time soon.
- spcoll 11y agoNice sexism bro. Well done HN...
- gr8b8m8-88 11y agoI can't believe you've managed to bait me into replying, but what part of what that dude said was sexist? The poster essentially said he had dated women who like pandas, and hinted that he is sexually unattractive. If anything, it's just self-deprecating humor with a twist of academic satire. What sort of twisted high to do get throwing out mislabeling accusations and attempting to toxify the comments section?
- x0054 11y agoNow I want to read the GP! It's too bad HN just deletes the flagged posts. It must have been hilarious, people see sexism everywhere now.
- randallsquared 11y agoThere's a preference to see them.
- vacri 11y agoTurn on 'showdead' in your profile, and you will see flagged and dead posts.
- serf 11y ago/s yeah, what a sexist prick, only dating post-puberty female humans. /s
- stephengillie 11y agoReally, it's speciesist to not be attracted to the pandas as well.
- Red_Tarsius 11y agoI'm not sure whether you're joking, but that's actually what happened to dogs. Unlike wolves and many other beasts, we can empathize with dogs' facial features (apophenia?), thus making us less likely to endanger them. You can think of it as some sort of camouflage.
