So cool
How boring 🥱 why would anyone care? nothing to do with their lives?
“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 am SO glad they decided to just leave it, it would be so devastating for Bern if their bear lost his penis! And I’m sure this was a very important topic for the government. /j
TIL…. (it was even there)
Make it bigger
The version without a penis already exists in New Bern:

who cares
touch grass
Kanton Bern gets smaller and smaller. Now they wanted it to lose its penis. Gladly this did not work out!
Otherwise it becomes New Bern, NC
Thomas Brönnimann and his party really know what matters to people.
I was literally talking about this today! I was visiting the castle in Grandson and my Swiss friend was pointing out that the medieval flag was a female bear with no visible anatomy. He said they voted to add a penis in the 70s!!
I will just say that the first thing I noticed as an American looking at the cantonal flags is how ridiculous it is to have added penises to any of the bears/goats/sheep/lions etc…
It looks like a highlight on the inside thigh, not a penis.
They should have a petition to enlarge it and make it less spiky.
I am SO happy I’m paying taxes used to pay a bored politician who think a bear’s dick on a coat of arms is even worth talking about.
Or is the next step a referendum to vote on whether the bear is male, female or identifies as a dandelion?

I guess there’s no dicking around when it comes to tradition.
Why did I think this was a wolverine for 20 years? Was my teacher fucking with me?
I literally remember him being like “you’d think it’s a bear because of Bern, but in fact it’s designed to be a wolverine”
