We try not to ride on Pedobear and suchlike memes too much, because: Let’s face it, memes cause cavities, and they’re often a stretch. (No, Holland does not actually look like Pedobear, unless you draw a giant bear on it.)

That said: if you are a computer manufacturer, you should probably not make a teddy bear-themed laptop with black circle eyes whose mascot has rounded ears and is just a goldtone away from a familiar brownish hue. Yes, teddy bears should just be innocent childhood figures, but the computer-teddy bear connection has been irreversibly tainted at this point. Blame 4chan.
