*sigh* Not this again.  Haven’t I talked about his before?

Let me reference a couple of articles I found today.

Calling a Troll a Troll

BEAR | NOT BEAR: WAY TO BE A TROLL, ASSHOLE

I swear to God that I’ve talked about this before.  It sounds so familiar. 

Jabba The Bear Is Still A Bear

Oh yeah, I remember now.  I have this feeling that the creator of Bear | Not Bear, and the editor of Bear Magazine should hook up.  They both seem to have the same stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, hair brained, bigoted nerf herder ideas of what a bear is.  I’m going to contend yet again that there is no solid definition of a bear.  Most, if not all of the images that appear on Bear | Not Bear are of bears.  He even posted COLTV010: Mr HOT Bear Contest ’09 Part 2.  As there is no contact information for the owner of the site, I have sent the request to the Tumblr Support Team.

This site is as offensive as the Bear Magazine’s editor’s comments on the Bear Community.  Every time I see something like this pop up, I’m infuriated.  This is not how the bear community was formed and I will not see this happen to it.  There’s more to bears then just fur, masculinity, and muscles.  Like all of mankind we are made in different shapes and sizes and there is no way you can give a solid definition of Bear.  I’ve always said that Husky, Hairy, and Homosexual was the closest, but I always say, “But that’s not completely true.”

When we start talking about labels within the bear community, I take them as a sign of our own diversity.  There’s Big Bears, Pocket Bears, Panda Bears, Black Bears, Muscle Bears, cubs, otters, puppies, wolves, and a plethora of other names.  In the end, we’re all bears.  Hell, even chasers and admirers are bears.  Anyone defined as just a bear to me means that he just can’t seem to be classified in one of the other subcategories.  Nothing wrong with that, you just don’t need another descriptor.

So, to you, owner of Bear | Not Bear.  FUCK YOU!
