    My Problem with "PedoBear"

    Okay well Pedobear is pretty famous over here in the UK. However not only do we spell Paedophile differently to Americans we pronounce it differently too.

    I've gotten used to pronouncing Pedobear the british way, the same way you would say 'paedophile' so like "Paedo-Bear" I guess. We spell PedoBear the same as Americans do though.

    It's only just occurred to me though, do you guys pronounce "Pedo-Bear" in the same way you say "Pedophile"? Please take no offence when I say this - but that sucks balls. The British way of saying it has such a nice ring to it and after getting used to "paedo-bear", "pedo-bear" just sounds... shite!

    Don't get me wrong though, it should definitely be spelt the American way 'PedoBear' ('cause "Paedobear" just looks stupid) but it really should be pronounced the English way.

    This girl is American and pronounces it the British way. If she can do it so can you.

    What do you guys think? Am I being a twat or do any of you actually agree that the British pronunciation sounds better and has more of a ring to it?

    Although Pee-doh-bear/phile is supposedly an acceptable term, I refuse it.
    Peh-doh-bear and peh-doh-phile.

      I like to spell them paedobear and paedophile, but I prefere the american pronunciation.
      Peedobear just sounds like piss to me. ;)

            Pie Dough Bear?

            That just makes him sound like a delightful pastry treat, not a child molester.

              But that's Paedobear's evil plan, you see. Get all the children to believe he is a delicious tasty treat of fun, and then...well, they'll be eating something.
              I seriously need a new sig. Will try Photoshop later.

                Yeah you're right..
                I guess the word "pedobear" has gotten a really bad reputation for having such a truly innocent name lol

                  I said beer, not bear

                  This word (original word of course) don't have bad reputation in RU, it's just a funny picture, like "PREVED MEDVED" :)

                    Right. Pedobear's reputation hasn't spanned the globe yet.



                    This Polish newspaper certainly doesn't have a problem with him. They let him join the Winter Olympics mascots!

                            Sorry, I still don't buy it. People can't be that demented, can they?
                            Besides, think of all the copyright issues.
