To think X rated Build a Bear is fucking weird

[RecoIIectionsMayVary]

No, it's not April 1st.

I daw this advert thought it was from wish (they keep suggesting glow in the dark bollocks for bikes to me) but no its build a bear!

😬
That's a bit weird

Unless they're selling them to kids, which they're patently not from that advert, YABU. Not sure what's x-rated about a bear in pyjamas with champagne.

Bears in bondage gear would be a bit too much for a toy shop, but I think the ones in the picture are ok.

Unless I'm missing something they don't look "X-rated" to me. A little childish but it's cute and not hurting anybody. If you don't like it don't buy it

Some adults like Build a Bear. Let them crack on with it.

YABU. This isn’t x-rated at all

It’s just bears in pjs with champagne.

Some adults like childish things, I don’t think it necessarily makes them creepy. I have a friend who loves fairies and her house is full of fairy paraphernalia. She’s completely harmless and has a great life, high-respect job etc.

As a PP said, the bears aren’t engaging in explicit acts so I don’t see a problem. It’s a fun novelty gift.

Many things originally for children have been recreated for adults…adult cartoons for example like the Simpson’s with a childish art style but adult humor.

they're over 18 because of the imitation alcohol. nothing else.

I thought it was going to be something like those Bad Taste Bears in the 00's that were actually marketed at children/teenagers and had bears in ball gags and bondage gear (and much worse)

They have a whole 'adult only' section on their website now called The Bearcave with a range of bears in underwear.

They are cute, not something that‘s immediately going to have a child asking questions if they come across one.

Maybe people buy them for their partners? Hope I don't get one. I much prefer perfume, or a nice bottle of wine.

It's only some innocent looking grundies with strawberries printed on them though, it's hardly crotchless panties and a peephole bra now, is it?

They are cute. If DH ever spends £50 on one though I'll be really annoyed, would much prefer an Amazon voucher 😀

Dh sister and her partner are Disney adults and do things like queue outside the Disney store (this was a while ago when they were everywhere) for when new toy story merch was released, they have Disney work bags, not like kids ones quite nice ones tbf, they buy any and all Disney Lego also

this is the kind of thing they would absolutely buy one another for Valentine’s or that he would buy her, she’d love it, a little bit cheeky but nothing sordid

The few I looked at aren't overly risque but it's a bit weird for a kid's toy shop.

I don't think I'd call that X-rated...

That's, maybe, at a push, a 15? Boxers and some champagne do not make something shocking.

That said, I cannot imagine a scenario in which I would go to Build-A-Bear-after-dark.
