I'm a little old for him.
Yeah... and he's not real, lol
He's literally the president now, haven't you heard?
That will sound like shittake, but it isn't.
When i ask myself who would be a better person, pedobear, or trump, i believe in pedo bear.
The memes were about him either joking about pedophilia or oogling children, but at least in my bubble, never actual rape
trumo is a pedophile a rapist and a fascist. pedobear is only a pedophile with no credible witnesses stating he ever acted on it
I experienced 4chan at the tail end of the unmoderated era. Pedobear was a lot more than that. A good deal of the actual meme posts had openly sadist and rapist tendencies, but the vast majority of pedobear images I encountered were just the bear to advertise a thread of csam, the bear to shorthand calling someone a pedo, or the bear to shorthand pedophilic thoughts about someone else's post. On a rare occasion, there would be csam with pedobear images for censorship to advertise a seperate website. It's no wonder the darker parts could be missed or have been scrubbed from the internet.
As much as I relish the golden glow of the frontier internet, we can't let that glow hide the rot that was truely there.
