Sometimes in the media, bears have been [[BearsAreBadNews portrayed as fierce and intimidating]], but that's not always the case. Some of the other portrayals paint bears in a more sympathetic light, sometimes even to the extent of being a GentleGiant. Through such portrayals, they are not merely non-aggressive aversions or subversions to BearsAreBadNews, but they tend to show friendly interactions with humans or other sentient beings.
Compare BearyFunny, where bears would be portrayed through comedic means.
