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. |

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. | |

Most versions of Wolverine fit the trope, although they are not canonically gay. Then again, the "mutants as persecuted minority" theme makes a connection. Wolverine's psychopath of a son, no less beefy, has slept with both genders. Howlett, an alternate reality version of Wolverine appearing in X-Treme X-Men is also a bear, as is his canon lover Hercules. |

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. | |

On Glee, this trope is lampshaded and discussed by Kurt and David Karofsky, who we find out in season three has taken to hanging out at a local gay bar and been dubbed a bear cub because of his youth and rather burly stature. Kurt, apparently not knowing anything about the term, jokingly asks if he's a cub because he "looks like Yogi." | |

Considering the all-male nature of the Galka and the strong implications that they are predominantly gay (or at least were during their time alone without females for centuries), the fact that every Galka has at least a chinstrap beard immediately makes the whole race very bearish, with shades of Big Beautiful Man as well. |

A cosmetic item in Team Fortress 2 called the "Triad Trinket" (an open-collared shirt with two gold necklaces hanging on the chest) has two styles— one is called "Bear", and it gives Sniper, Spy, Engineer, and Heavy all chest hair. Heavy's shirt is too small, and even exposes some of his bare belly. | |

Chef and Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio is straight (having been married to a woman since 2001), but has acknowledged his bear fanbase on air, has done interviews with bear media, and was briefly scheduled to ride on the bear float in the 2010 LA Pride Parade (he cancelled due to scheduling conflicts). | |

Max on Happy Endings, although, in his words, he's "more of a cub". A Season 3 episode fully Averts this by showing he doesn't fully fit into any one gay subculture, having traits from several of them. | |

2 Broke Girls: The gay couple in the neighboring cabin in the episode "And the Bear Problem." Big Mary from Max's pastry school combines bear looks with a very campy way of speaking. |

The Legatum series has several openly gay characters in it, some of whom—especially the homosexual orcs from The Road to Hell...—are noted for being bulky, hairy, chunky individuals. | |

Family Guy: Peter watches an episode of The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams where Grizzly Adams and his grizzly bear companion Gentle Ben are an actual gay bear couple. In "Grimm Job", Carter threatens to evict Consuela from the giant shoe and replace her with Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the "bears" being this trope. |

The main character of All Walls Must Fall is the time-travelling STASIS agent Kai, a burly man with a rough beard and bald head. On missions, he navigates through various Berlin gay clubs, potentially seducing the all-male security. Some dialogue draws attention to his bear status. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Commander Riker became a bear icon after actor Jonathan Frakes grew his beard for season 3. Frakes only found out about it years after the show ended, and then was greatly amused.[1] | |
