My friends brother has a pedo-bear sticker on his car. Is he paedophile?!!?
*points accusing finger* PAEDOPHILE! ^^^
[sub]Ignoring the fact he also apparently as a picture of a naked woman on his engine. [/sub]
Only a paranoid pedo-witch hunter would think that pedobear was some sort of "badge" for paedophiles. Pedobear is just a joke which emerged out of all the fear and over-publicised hype about paedophiles on the internet.
This is just a matter of either:
A) The older generations misunderstanding the new, internet based, generation.
B) Mainstream culture mis-understanding a sub-culture.
