Hey,

I'm writing an article about the perception of Russian players in EVE Online. I"m looking for an English-speaking Russian player to answer a question or two about the topic in their own words.

I'm mostly interested in how Russian players think about the way players see them. If anyone can help me with this, that would be great!

Thanks.

Since the majority of people playing this game are Russian, I'd guess that they think they are just fine.

Not to be negative (who am I kidding, it's angry weekend) but wouldn't this be better posted in, oh I don't know, maybe the Russian section of the forum?

Also, pretty stupid timing if this is not somehow linked to current international events.

If it is linked to current international events, then it's just a stupid idea all around.

Pretty sure Russians don't give two ***** how others see them.

Im a russian-speaking ukrainian who is also a canadian.

I would strongly recommend for CCP to lock this topic, and others like it, lest the unpleasantness that permeates forums of newspapers spreads to here.

Tell that to Putin. He says he's protecting Ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

OP asks, in English, for assistance from someone who understands Russian and English. So, your response is that he should ask in the Russian section of the forum, presumably in Russian, which he presumably doesn't speak. [insert insult here]

Stupid idea: Since some people can't have an adult conversation, let's all just give up totally on the possibility of communication. Yea, we can just magically ordain the ideas, intentions, and emotions of the people around us, and maybe use some random grunting or high pitched squealing. And, if that fails, we can just beat eachother over the head. [вставлять оскорбление здесь]

Not much difference when hatred is aimed at either.

He's protecting them, you said so yourself.

And yes, there is. You can hate puppies and kittens, but they're still different things. Just own up, admit you used the word "racist" incorrectly.

A "racist attitude" is not incorrect.

Besides, what's your point ? Getting off while annoying people ??? I'm a 48 year old man and you are hardly "shaming" me.

God, some people are just sad.

No, it won't. Russian is not a race. Your comment was utterly ignorant.
