Bears are powerful members of an online community or forum, and are usually very knowledgeable on certain subjects. They can often get annoyed at people new to their forum, because they don't have the same level of respect or know-how. The term 'Bears' comes from the popular welcome to new members of an internet community, 'Don't feed the bears'. A bear attack is when a Bear decides to flame a less important member for little or no reason.

The most common definition of a "bear" is a man who is hairy, has facial hair, and a cuddly body. However, the word "Bear" means many things to different people, even within the bear movement. Many men who do not have one or all of these characteristics define themselves as bears, making the term a very loose one. Suffice it to say, "bear" is often defined as more of an attitude than anything else - a sense of comfort with our natural masculinity and bodies that is not slavish to the vogues of male attractiveness that is so common in gay circles and the culture at large.
