A bear flipping a table. The classic ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ bear-bracket face with two raised arms (ノ on each side) is in the process of upending a table — the ︵ shows the trajectory of the flip, and ┻━┻ is the table itself, upside down, mid-air. This is the bear-flavored remix of the legendary table-flip kaomoji.
The joke is the contrast: the bear face is the universal kaomoji symbol for soft, fluffy, harmless. Pairing it with the most aggressive gesture in kaomoji culture (the table flip) produces ‘even the bear has had enough.’ It is a way of expressing frustration that stays funny rather than menacing.
Use it when you want to be over-the-top about something that does not really warrant rage — a small bug in your code, a minor inconvenience, a take you strongly disagree with online. On Discord and Twitter/X it lands well in programmer-humor, fandom-frustration, and ‘why is this happening’ contexts. The cuteness keeps it from feeling actually hostile.
In Japanese the parent gesture is ちゃぶ台返し (chabu-dai gaeshi — flipping the low table). The bear variant doesn’t have an official name but you could call it くまちゃぶ (kuma chabu). Pair with もうこんなのいや！ (‘mou konna no iya!’ — ‘I can’t take this anymore!’).
