Pedobear is an Internet meme that became popular through the imageboard 4chan.[1] As the name suggests ("pedo" being short for "pedophile"), it is portrayed as a pedophilic cartoon bear.[2] It is a concept used to mock child sex offenders or people who have any sexual interest in children or "jailbait".[3][4] The bear image has been likened to bait used to lure children or as a mascot for pedophiles.[3]
