I'm not asking for any official definition, I'm asking what YOU think a carebear is.

When you think of carebears, you think of....

Easy. A bear that cares.

I always think of Beastly and that awesome pedal-bike he rode around in and how much I wanted a pedal-bike of my own but never did get one. And also Shreeky and that goddamm voice of hers that was like fingernails on a chalkboard. And my all-time favorites Champ Bear and Thunderheart Bear. Such good bros. Oh, Carebears... Good times. Good times.

People who refuse to accept any intrusion in their personal gameplay bubble by other players.

People who are afraid of loss in EVE. Generally they are highly risk-averse as a result, and stick to safe places (the inside of stations, highsec, etc).

Civilization builders, non-warrior class.

Civilization builders live in nullsec, where risk is omnipresent and building an empire is actually possible.

Don't need to be apart of an warrior class to live in null? Or do you mean to live in null you need 20 support per trigger.

Hoards of decayed zombies eating their way through a bloated elephant carcass soaking in a tainted African waterhole amidst a lethal howling summer sandstorm.

or fresh glittery ponies

Someone poorly educated on game mechanics who's first response to a problem involving other players is to get CCP to nerf said players tactics. They are the kind of people who try to petition people because they got scammed.

Big difference between Carebear and PvE Player.

Carebear = a term gankers use to shame people not stupid enough to get ganked.

Carebears are evil.

They also are overweight losers who smell bad, live in their mom's basement, never have sex with real women and they shout with girly voices when they are ganked. Also they expect the Government to pay for their health care, never shot their own dog because they hate guns, and also hate trucks and beer and crack and other things that GO. They also are treehugging hippies who vote democrat and bike around when they're not in their mom's basement, like to hang around the internet with people of different races and never went to church in their sorry lives.

And they're evil.

Umm any other bigoted statements, you missed a few groups in your hate speech.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Carebear = Those that look for targets of opportunity in highsec that are other players.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

Please, point them out, so they can be properly included in the detailed list of why carebears are evil.

Then once the list is done, we can top it by saying that their refuse to play the game the way they should be playing it, which is what makes them to go beyond being simply evil and ti's why they should be removed from EVE altogether.


(By the way, in case that some meaning is lost in translation, I want to make clear that I am a carebear and all the above is sarcasm about EVE bigots, which consistently happen to not be carebears according to themselves)

A carebear is the peon who insists that the game is about chopping wood, and can not understand why anyone would come and kill him with their sword.

As satire goes, this is pretty funny.

The world would be a far more amusing place if anyone was dumb enough to hold this view in real life.

This is not a signature.

With the original post, given some of the posters in here it was 50/50 as to whether it was sarcasm or not.
And its not carebears who are Evil it is the have their cake and eat it too crowd.

Well at least these forums disprove the whole "EvE is played buy intelligent people" myth.

I've seen many different things and people in this game, labeled as "carebear."

I suppose at the end of the day, a "carebear" is just a stereotype, and while there are only select few individuals that can fill most of the definitions, people are quick to brand others with it for merely having an association with them. It's like the socially inept nerd, the dumb blonde, trailer park trash, etc...

I dunno, I'll go off on a long tangent on my perception of the nature of people on the internet if I type anymore.


Stop the hate people!
