I don't know how I missed this moment (being I spend hours daily here.) What is the bear meme other than reminding me of the dancing, grateful deadhead bear? I only know of "Bear" Stanley who did some production work while he was certainly full of hallucinogens. Just curious how this fits in?

disclaimer: I'm old enough to have gone to a Grateful Dead show when Garcia was still alive but conservative enough to have never bought one of those ugly ties.

This is pedo bear. The bear is a pedophile. It's a meme.

Thanks. I get that but how does the bear get to be "pedo bear." Is there not more to it?

Pedobear was an anti-pedo meme. It started on 4chan s as a way to warn mods about people posting CP. Pedobear is like Smokey the Bear but warning of pedos instead of fires.

Thank you! So I imagine it's been around for a long time and adapted. Thank you for your time to enlighten me....all of you guys.

I like to know details and origins of memes etc and I appreciate you guys taking the time.

It's a very old meme. Still makes the point though.

Japan sells Pedobear t-shirts.

A coworker on a business trip to Japan bought one and walked around Tokyo the whole day without knowing what it stood for.

Back in 2016 when all the "dead heads" were all for Bernie. I shared an article about how Robert Hunter wrote abunch of political songs but Jerry always refused to play them bc he didn't want The Dead to be apart of it. Of course they all down voted me lol. I quit going to shows when Bob weir was yelling and cussing out Republicans from the stage in the middle of the show. What a bummer and a huge buzz kill. Dead and Co. was the first Dead related band I can't stand
