Dear EVE Online players,


When I am bored a little bit I often click around and look at the characters you guys have created. One thing according to the female characters is very ... prominent: It seems you guys mostly like big racks and half naked, skinny bodies.

I know that with a probability of 80 to 90% a man created the character. I am not a feminist. I think this a firstly a questions of aesthetics which of course depends on personal views. But I ask myself is this the imagination you have how a woman should be? This is not an attack on you guys. And I do not want to start a discussion of what you all thing is beautiful. I only wanted to show a conspicuity.

I do not tell you what to do. EVE Online is a free game for which you all pay. You can do what you want. I only wanted to give my opinion.


Regards.



Well the caracter creator is quite limited. Its hard to make a good looking female avatar other way with the current character creator. I like girls with well shaped legs, but you cannot make anythign but skinny of FAT legs in eve. You cannot even make a proper shaped butt. The only thing you can make to look nice are the boos in this game, so the fault is on CCP.

Thread necroed and at page 23. This topic gets a lot more interest than the important ones, such as my "What happened to my 'Cane's extra missile slot?" Interesting. ::entering Notepad notes::



You really think missile slots are more important than female attributes? No wonder people call you a nerd...

As long as my tight pants show off my package to it's best advantage, I don't think it matters how attractive I am.

I made enough space monies to afford all the plastic surgery from the ugly uckling to an ugly rack, my mailbox is literally oozing with no drooling messages and it's causing me mental stress.

Why u no like breastickles?

Men feeling in a safe enough place to play Barbie dress-up for the first times in their lives without fear of their sexual inadequacies can only be good thing.


And I'd bet the intelligent people at CCP know very well they made a mistake signing off on the distorted high-heels-only generator. But being confronted with not getting another skeleton pose, it'd be irrational to replace content that's there with none at all.
Can tolerate it in a mugshot maker, it's not game-breaking - which to me it would be in a 3D character's game.

As for breast-overload: Always thought it were exclusively culturally and aesthetically challenged U.S. Americans having those avatars. Even before your first convo they provide a free and readily presented mechanism to screen out people whose mind is in a way you don't want to interact with. Thus, a feature.

I'm glad you noticed. Thought it might be too obscure. Also: Reading comprehension FTW. Just go over it again, you can have a second try.

OP, considering a great deal of the player base are men somewhere in the late teens to late twenties it's to be expected. Look at all media targeted at this demographic. Comic books, anime, other video games, etc.... all containing females depicted in the exact manner you describe. Personally I would say it's more that people have been encouraged/trained to see this as an ideal female form rather than something they chose consciously. Unfortunate, but more a matter of our culture and hormones than anything else.

Just my 2 isk.

So topics about gameplay are getting closed left and right yet this 24 page derailed thread gets to stay open? Whatever.

Anyways, like many people have said, if we're going to have to stare at a character for months or years, might as well make it attractive. Breasts are an attractive point on women. You can't deny that. If that wasn't true, there wouldn't be bras that make boobs look better, or low cut shirts, or breast implants.

Also, slightly off topic, to the hardcore feminists complaining in this thread: hardcore feminism is the reason you still get laughed at and aren't taken seriously. Don't complain, prove yourself. You want equality? Make yourself equal.

I used to work for a *real* feminist. She didn't look or act like you'd expect; She was my LPO - I had Second for the shop.

When a new female got assigned our shop, Liz would grab 'em and take them out to the shop, and show them this 300# (~135kg) roll of linoleum matting, and tell 'em "Move this roll from this side of the shop to the other. By yourself. Be safe. Come see me when you're done." Not an easy task - Lots of equipment in the way, and the overhead rails only went so far. Liz was scary - Every one of 'em figured out a way to do the job.

When the roll was moved, Liz would sit 'em down, hand them a cup of coffee and tell them the point of this simple lesson: "Doesn't matter that you're not as strong as the guys. You still have to do the same work. If you can't do it by being strong, then do it by being smart."

We had no whiners in our shop. No tension between the males and females over work issues. We got stuff done. THAT is how a real feminist works.


(To be honest, I think the only reason that roll of matting was in the shop was so Liz could teach her little lesson - We *never* actually used it)

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
