Why can't CCP at least put an attractive female in the launcher.

Every time I boot the launcher I get startled when I see this angry dude baring his teeth.

I'd prefer something more soothing when logging in than a chap with rabies.

Even from a marketing perspective, chics rule.

I can't even put into words how bad this thread is.

Seriously.

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

I'm disappointed that I had to see your face when I opened this thread, rather than an attractive female avatar.

Who put the goat in there?

You may be looking at the Steam Launcher or something, but this "rabid dude" has never been visible to me. Screenshot ???????

Probably not.........

The reason I posted what I did was because I didn't have the time, nor energy, to outline why this thread is so wrong.

First of all, on your personal level, you want an "attractive female" in the launcher. Let's leave aside all the problems I have with that quote for a second, and remember that this is *not real*. Is it pleasure you want? Or do denigrating pictures of women generally perk up your day?

Second, this game has a ridiculously male-biased playerbase. Yes, it is about spaceships and killing, so that will account for a bias because society's in-built sexism raises boys to play with guns and girls with dollhouses. But putting up random pictures of "attractive females" everywhere isn't exactly going to help address that imbalance. Any women who want to play will just feel like the game is some sick male fantasy, where the first hint of a real woman (not the male 45% who use female avatars) is like a pack of sharks smelling blood.

Third, as a general point, objectifying women like that is just unacceptable. Sexism is utterly wrong on any level, but I imagine you don't care too much about that sort of thing, so here's a powerful video that will give you the wake-up call you seem to so desparately need: http://damn.com/p/this-is-what-women-must-feel-likeeverday-experienced-by-a-man-must-watch/

This reply is still ridiculously incoherent and rushed, little more than a stream of consciousness. I hope you and others see why this thread is so bad now.

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

"You use the launcher?"

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

I find the lack of attractive females in the launcher oppressive.

Perhaps a tug of war with cyclops is in order before playing EVE.
