If your country was fixated on Pedobear, it was mostly due to 4chan and not 2chan/Nijiura. While the character was certainly born on 2chan, he wasn't a pedo (his name was just クマー (Kuma (bear)) but one of the numerous AA characters (think of them as some sort of very old reaction faces).
I think his pedophilic nature was due to the early days of 4chan when the user tried to make use of 2chan and Nijiura memes but didn't really understood how to use them, and due to lolrandom logic he was now a pedo. Pic related, another Nijiura meme that early 4chan tried to adopt and had some success for a while before it was ultimately forgotten due to more accessible maymays.
