This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented

How would a bear without a penis represent more people than a bear with a penis?

I bet if the bear had tits nobody would be sniveling about it.
