A friend of mine who runs a corp that is friendly to goons was complaining the other day about the apparent lack of male exotic dancers as part of mission objectives. As a runner of hundreds of courier missions, I realized he was correct. I had never seen a male exotic dancer before, only female. He was understandably disappointed and I told him I would raise the issue because I believe we all need to be more sensitive different peoples needs. Even in EVE, a game where scamming is allowed as part of its "harsh environment" , sexism should not be tolerated.


With the removal of pleasure hubs, I expect CCP understands the need fo removal sexist elements and expect male exotic dancers to be implemented in the future. Equality is all we ask for.

Personally, I'd prefer to see CCP's development resources go into fixing local or something else more important.

This used to annoy me too, then I remembered: men can't dance. And when they do, it's not erotic.

In what description of the item does it state they are one or the other?

If you are going by the image alone, then there are a great many other items that have inaccurate illustrations

I think that, on the giant list that is "sexism in EVE online", the lack of a male exotic dancer item is really pretty low.

Uh guys, there ARE male exotic dancers, they're just hard as hell to find, that why the exotic dancer item now specifies gender.

Your reading skills are bad, and that makes me feel bad for you.

Maybe you should get Spectacular Todd to read my post out loud. Here, let me repeat myself;

If this is true, why should they not be more common and part of mission objectives and be so hard to find? Imagine if you wanted to be a male exotic dancer and all you ever saw was female ones. Pretty discouraging, wouldn't you say?

Because nobody wants them? Don't make me go looking for that Haka Rawr vid, it diverts me, and then I feel bad.

Blame the pirates for only catering to their own tastes in their pleasure domes. You're just never given a mission to infiltrate the higher-ups of Gallente political leadership in their plush mansions, that's all.

They're a mission drop from a structure that doesn't need to popped for the mission IIRC, I've had them a few times and sold them to folks that send them to suicide gank victims for lols.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I recall an incursion into VFK where some male exotic dancers were dropped off for the goons. P
