The Bear	comment	In gay slang, a "bear" is a gay man (usually a Manly Gay, but not necessarily) with a Carpet of Virility—and not always just on their chests. Very often bears are also voluptuously heavy set and at least middle-aged, but these are not definitive requirements. Thin bears are often known as "otters", semi-hairy bears are "wolves", younger bears are "cubs" or "pups", Asian bears are "pandas", and especially muscular bears are often called "muscle bears" or "bulls". A "husbear" is a term some men use for their bearish boyfriends or husbands. Bears don't appear as often in mainstream entertainment, where gay stereotypes more familiar to the audience predominate. But bears are common in the gay community and in LGBT-made works, and hold a beloved niche in gay porn and Bara. Where bears do appear, they announce themselves by their body type appearance, as the Bear is as much about Rule of Sexy as it is about subculture. Usually a subtrope of Manly Gay, and the aesthetic opposite of The Twink, though cubs are similar in disposition. Frequently overlaps with Big Beautiful Man, Cool Old Guy, Leather Man, or Beast Man. In fact, this trope overlaps with Big Beautiful Man so often that some people would consider them the same trope—except that technically this trope is about body hair and the other trope is about body fat. Though this trope always involves gay men, the targets of bearish interest need not always be gay. This trope can apply to straight men who gay men acknowledge as attractive for their bearish looks. For this to be objectively applied, it has to be deliberate in a story. For Real Life examples, the straight men have to have acknowledged their bear fanbase. All examples solely acknowledged by gay fans should go in LGBT Fanbase. For actual bears, see Bears Are Bad News, Beary Funny, and Beary Friendly. Not to be confused with The Bear (1988), The Bear (1994), The Bear (2022), or the Belgian Malinois Team Pet from Person of Interest. Has no relation to the Furry Fandom, though the two can overlap.

The Bear / int_1734777	comment	Midaq Alley: Rutilio is an overweight, very hairy man in his fifties who is having an affair with a smooth-chinned young twink who looks to be less than half his age. In this case, however, he is also married with a grown son. His wife is mortified and his hothead son is enraged by his father carrying on a gay romance and not even trying very hard to hide it.

The Bear / int_86814e56	comment	In Final Fantasy VI, Sabin refers to himself as a bear during the cut scene on Mount Kolts — this is Hilarious in Hindsight, even if intentional. Depending on the artist, Sabin certainly has more of the body type for it, with Amano tending towards the hairier with Manly Facial Hair and CG art tending towards the smoother and beardless. None of this necessarily means Sabin is actually gay (it's still entirely possible he's not), but that he's a "bear" with a fittingly bearish body type. This, along with the fact that he's one of the only adult male main cast (along with Stragos) who is never shown expressing any kind of interest in women, has brought him more LGBT Fanbase by far than any other male character in the game.
