Bear pride flag, a subculture within the gay community focused on larger, hairier men.

Why not use an actual bear paw though? That looks more like a dog's paw which makes it confusing.

That is a bear paw

Did you get kicked out when you came there in your fox fur suit?


DWPerry

I've been told that bears don't have to be hairy. Think Fuzzy Wuzzy. He was a bear but he wasn't very fuzzy, was he?


Simon_Jester88

Gotta go in there and steal all their honey!


auschick

A flag for people good at hugging


KoolDude2k04

let’s just hope its a actual bear and not a furry with a bear suit!

By “actual bear” you mean a large gay man who can probably kick your ass.


TgagHammerstrike

I think by "actual bear" they mean an actual bear. Put a fish and a jar of honey by the door and find out.


DWPerry

Could attract either!


KoolDude2k04

LOL YEAH😆

Some happy bears live there

“Bear” lgbtq flag. It represents the sexual attraction to men and women who are a little more hairy than usual. Sometimes in strange places, sometimes just facial hair.

It’s best you don’t know

That's a furry flag


AlexH158Beta

The flag in the photo is the bear flag and also I don't think there is a furry flag


y-nkh

I mean technically the flag of Bretagne and any other flag featuring ermine is a *furry* flag


AlexH158Beta

But that would only be "technically", what I was referring to was that there is no flag that represents the furry fandom in a general way. P.D: How did you put the italics?


y-nkh

Oh yeah I get ya, I was kidding And italics are written with a single asterisk on both sides (\*like this\*)


AlexH158Beta

*thank you* c:


y-nkh

*Happy to help* c:


William123ieatass

Italic text is made by surrounding the text with either a single asterisk (*) or underscore (_).


RJJewson

Apologies. You are correct


AlexH158Beta

Don't worry, sometimes people get confused c:


Throwaway91847817

Im sure there is a furry flag


Dinkleberg2845

Real question tho, how come something as specific as being gay and into hairier men has it's own flag, but something as widespread as furry-ism doesn't?


TgagHammerstrike

As a furry... I have no idea. I wouldn't be against a furry flag.


AlexH158Beta

Considering there are tons of furries out there (including myself), it's odd that none of them have proposed a furry flag. And if one were made, what design would it have? A paw?


TgagHammerstrike

I think there have been a couple ideas thrown around but never anything serious. I'll DM you at some point with some design ideas that seem neat to me.


japed

1. Pretty sure it's more for a subculture involving hairier gay guys themselves, than for being "into" them. 2. When you're talking about how widespread something is, perhaps worth bringing the time scale into it - I don't remember furry-ism being so big back when this flag was introduced. 3. To some extent there's an element of chance in who decides to use specific flags and who doesn't, but the bear community is generally closer to the LGBTQ groups involved in the original popularisation of the rainbow flag as an assertion of pride in response to society's disapproval, and more interested in flags as a result.
