    depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented

    How would a bear without a penis represent more people than a bear with a penis?

    Dear God! No NSFW tag? That gigantic red bear penis is now seared into my memory until my dying day.

    Please Mr. Trump, save us from the bear penis, send the seventh fleet to Switzerland!

    The cantonal government was responding to a written question from Liberal Green parliamentarian Thomas Brönnimann, who wondered whether it would not be more appropriate to depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented.

    I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice…

    The bear has always been depicted on official documents with a red phallus. In view of this tradition, the cantonal government believed that it was reasonable to continue to depict the bear in this way. Nor did it wish to conduct an online survey on the bear’s future appearance. In its view, such a survey would not be representative and would have little informative value.

    Normally I’m pro-democracy but they make some good points here

      This was officially brought into Parlament as a ‘question’. Answering it without any aditional actions, is exactly how this is supposed to be handled.

    Did some prude have a hard on in removing it? Not going soft on the bear penis issue, the population erected a defense.
