Turns out that there is a whole animal kingdom to gay body types including that I was unaware of… Otter Considered a subspecies of 'bear' by some, an otter is a hairy slim or small-framed man. Some bears place importance on presenting a clear masculine image and may disdain or shun men who exhibit effeminacy, while others consider acceptance and inclusiveness of all behavioural types to be an important value of the community.In my most recent video I invented the term Twinkiebear for what I have since been informed by many many messages, is already referred to as an Otter. These men are also a distinct subculture within the gay community, and may or may not identify with the bear movement per se.

The bear concept can function as an identity or an affiliation, and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear. There is some contention surrounding whether Bulger originated the term and the subculture’s conventions. The term bear was popularized by Richard Bulger, who, along with his then partner Chris Nelson (1960–2006) founded Bear Magazine in 1987. However, in San Francisco in the 70s any hairy man of whatever shape was referred to as a ‘bear’ until the term was appropriated by larger men and other words had to be found to describe hairy other-shaped men such as otter (slim) or wolf (medium-build). Bears are one of many LGBT communities with events, codes, and a culture-specific identity. Colton Underwood, Billy Porter Zz/GOTPAP/STAR MAX/IPx, Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP.
