So I get what you're saying, but honestly I haven't seen a reference to pedobear in the wild in probably like ten years. I get the feeling only the channers and other terminally-online messageboard types know about it.
No this is stupid, literally not even the place where that meme originated remembers it. The only people who would ever think such a thing are people who unironically call themselves "Internet/Meme historians".
Bears are cool and good, but it's dumb to ignore the obvious connection to our sitename we're trying to spread and grow and the infamous pedophilia mascot.
Site was better when it was called chapo.chat and the hexbear was just a logo meme.
I uh... never even considered this until you brought it up?
I mean ____ bear isn't that uncommon, you got Panda Bears, Grizzly Bears, Drop Bears, Polar Bears, Sloth Bears, Sun Bears, Spectacled Bears, Kodiak Bears, Cave Bears, Cinnamon Bears, Glacial Bears, and now Hex Bears.
Also after this Bear doesn't look like a real word.
If I wanted to be taken serious, I would simply not choose a name that instantly reminds people of pedophiles
Because of course they are named that
I didn't even notice that
Loli...jfc lol
You're saying this on Hexbear.com
What’s pedo about hexbear

Like us
Which is why it should have been considered and avoided in becoming the official site name

Oh well I know about that
It's one of the first things people think about when they hear about obscure internet forums suffixed with -bear.
Which is why shifting to this name (especially after ousting our admin over false pedophilia claims) was a terrible idea.
Yeah I’ve never thought about that but I guess it could seem sus to people that don’t know
:ancap-good:
