thumb|Depiction of Pedobear
Pedobear is an Internet meme that became popular through the imageboard 4chan. As the name suggests, ("pedo" being short for "pedophile") it is portrayed as a pedophilic cartoon bear. It is a concept used to mock child sex offenders or people who have any sexual interest in children or "jailbait". The bear image has been likened to bait used to lure children or as a mascot for pedophiles.
