Pedobear is supposed to be a joke, but harming a child is nothing to joke about.

Do we see memes of jews or blacks used like what pedobear is to children? Would making fun of blacks being kept as slaves be ok? Of course it would not be ok.

People might say stuff like "its only a joke". To me, harming a child is nothing to joke about.

See, you don't understand the meme. It's not making fun of CP or pedophilia, it's making fun of the social obsession with these things. Ever see the "you gonna get raped" gifs? They're not making fun of rape or rapists, they're making fun of our stereotypes.

Yes, but that stuff tends to stay on 4chan. No one in their right mind would bring that stuff elsewhere.

Oh and spare me the "over the line" crap; nothing is truly off limits for jokes. It's just more difficult to make the jokes worthwhile if you're talking about something really offensive. But nothing is really off limits, nor should it be.

no its not. the meme though is funny. being able to separate them will make your life a lot less stressful.

There's been all sorts of news "stories" depicting it as some secret code word for "pedofiles welcome" or "I'm looking for underage kids".

can you post some that are true? not just the idiots going nuts and saying it is. hell even post a few of those..

no, it's not. but the current obsession that there's a pedophile behind every bush waiting to molest your children is ridiculous and that's being made fun of. in addition to the pedos themselves.

so in your example, it's not the slaves, it's the racists. and jesse jackson. both at once.

I was just saying we've had threads about "warnings" put out by police and schools to be on the look out for signs of pedobear because it means "pedofiles welcome".

1. Holy crap this is blown out of proportion.

2. Awesome:

I wrote a research paper about the meme pedobear and presented it to a conference - a CRIMINAL JUSTICE conference - my findings show that it is harmless. PM me, I will be happy to speak with anyone, or to send along my paper, to those whom are having a hard time understanding what it means.

Only Reddit:
"I'm being libeled because of Pedobear!"
"No problem, I've written a relevant paper..."

that's cool if he actually helps him. but imo it's past that, it's lawyer time. they could seriously be wrecking this kids life.

shit, the 'they were just kids' excuse has been used for ACTUAL RAPE. but in this instance...no sir, son, you shoulda thought long and hard before you hung up a picture of non-explicit cartoon.

Are you kidding me? Some college kid puts a picture of pedobear in an elevator and the building manager freaks out thinking pedobear is secret code for "pedofiles welcome" or something like that. Now kid is being investigated


http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/k77p5/pedobear_image_in_dorm_elevator_possible/

Its for the safety and security of the children! Oh wont SOMEONE think of the children!




BTW, pedobear is stupid and i wish it would go ahead and die already, pedophiles are seriously sick and I dont find the humor in joking about assaulting children

Kids will have to learn that /b/ is not real life.

Talking about harming women and violence towards children might be ok on /b/, but the real world takes offense to it.

If the RD felt offended, then he should have used his authority to take kid into his office and scold him. If kid takes an attitude about it, use campus procedures to formally cite the little shit. If kid acts contrite, then have him remove it and then have some light punishment.

Involving the police and endangering the kid's future is gross incompetence. This asshole RD is going to spend a whole lot of his and the police's time investigating a kid for crimes that are only in his stupid fantasy land. That's a ton of tax payer's money down the drain, and we have potential social cost of this kid going to jail for petty vandalism that should only warrant a finger wagging from an administrator.

Go back to posting pics of your smoker. You're bad at expressing non-idiotic opinions about little else.

The first response is from my cousin, nerdress.

EDIT: When the comments are sorted in the "Best" order that is.

I wrote a research paper about the meme pedobear and presented it to a conference - a CRIMINAL JUSTICE conference - my findings show that it is harmless. PM me, I will be happy to speak with anyone, or to send along my paper, to those whom are having a hard time understanding what it means.

UPDATE: I will be happy to provide a copy of the original paper, although I'd like to wait until the revised version is finished. Either way, I'd be willing to do an AMA later this evening and provide the paper, or you all can just send me your email addresses and I can send it privately. I'm glad you are all taking such an interest!

"I'm being libeled because of Pedobear!"

"No problem, I've written a relevant paper..."

Thank you very much, I've now spit coffee onto my shirt...
