It began as a simple Osaka Phone thread, but Pedobear's lecherous nature could not be held back even in his first days of speaking English. He called her with a proposition that no loli would have the sense to refuse (or understand). From that moment forward, Pedobear's taste in women was known, and it was a sentiment that would be scribed into the blogs of internet meme historians for decades to come.
Over the weeks and months, Pedobear grew famous for his seal of approval towards prepubescent girls and his catchphrase "is dat sum loli". The Pedobear Seal of Approval has lived on, while "is dat sum loli" has faded away like so many other memes who have made their small mark on internet culture. The phrases that he is often seen with these days vary greatly and will likely fade out just as his flagship "is dat sum loli", but the Seal of Approval has proven to have the lasting power to thrive in image boards, forums, and blogs unlike any other.
Pedobear stands as one of the most long-lasting and recognized faces of the internet. While his preferences in women and moral standards may not coincide with the vast majority's, people are able to overlook that due to his cute face and non-threatening appearance. Against all odds, he has been able to maintain his popularity through all of the internet drama and the criticism. Memes come and memes go, sometimes even in the course of a few days. The fact that Pedobear has lasted as long as he has is nothing short of a miracle. The chances of his cheery face all but disappearing off the face of the internet are low. The image macros, the jokes, and his cheery face are burned into minds of all who see them, and internet culture would just not be the same without everyone's favorite loli-loving bear.
