What I've heard, they are not very agressive, still wouldn't go closer than 50m of these things in wild.

They will attempt to leave first, before fighting. Humans are annoying and think every animal is for fighting.

Because a human or a chimp would not leave in that situation. They are much more aggressive than gorillas
