Frat boys are college guys who are apart of a fraternity.
Bears are gay men that are fat and/or hairy. (Wikipedia's words, not mine)
Raves are a type of party with light shows, glow sticks, etc, to produce a certain aesthetic.
Burning Man is a specific week-long party that happens out in the desert. Many camps are erected and it becomes a caravan city, essentially.
The comic is saying that the character who keeps get bad vibes from the bears formerly went to Goth parties and likely had bad experiences from frat boys at those parties.
In this case, though, because burning Man costs a ticket fee and alot of other things to go to, and because all the bears are gonna flirt with every guy and anyone who is even slightly homophobic is gonna get uncomfortable and leave, there are only bears around in the place they're at.
