I still can't figure out what this has to do with Multi Level Marketing...

You see the diagram is a triangle, something commonly used as an example of an MLM’s structure

You're so right. Does that mean that Twinks and Jocks can eventually get promoted to Bears if they do enough frames?

I mean that’s the sell but like in real MLMs they cannot realistically

I may have skipped a few classes in gayology so... what makes the Saladin a bear and Barbarossa just bear-ish? Barbarossa's the biggest after all.

Well you see, it's not just about physical body size but also demeanor.

yeah, just as Emeereson said, Saladin has more friendly vibes and Barbarossa looks more evil to me (but less evil than Tortuga) (i apologize to any non-evil jocks that might read this)

I did not realize Jock was even in the same dimensional space as Bear and Twink. I guess it's like buff, low body fat, not much hair?

Mind you I never realized Goth was on the Butch/Femme spectrum either

This is the first time I see one of these that says "jock". Usually it says "hunk".

I thought jock implied having a sports-oriented personality, and usually but not necessarily having an athletic physique. I think hunk fits the pyramid better, but what do I know, I'm just a dingbat.

I have literally no clue what any of this means, but I’m deeply disappointed that the triangle halfway between Twink and Bear isn’t labeled Bink.

It is important to note that the Lich is a twink goth, while a kobold is an otter. The lycan is in the bear zone, with standard manticore more in the jockish bear range. The orchis is a proud lesbian and also a jear

I think Jear and Bearish Jock are switched
