	'''Pedobear''' is an internet meme that is portrayed as being a "pedophilic bear". Pedobear is not often associated with Boylove but could be considered a companion to [[Shotacat]]. Pedobear is most often depicted as chasing young girls but is in rare instances shown attempting to attract both boys and girls and can be considered as a generic representation. Pedobear embodies all the stereotypical traits associated with the erroneous public perception of the pedophile as a predator. While this image is sometimes used in a cruel manner to mock those who have an attraction to minors, most of the time it is simply meant to be humorous.
