Octavian Vetiver Dog Nation United Relativity Alliance 152	Posted - 2012.12.23 18:03:00 - [1] - Quote More like the OP is a moron. You can barely tell the females are females. Go look at some other games and scream at them about sexualization of women. TERA for instance, or various other shooters where they are half naked. On here your lucky to even notice the breasts, the way they walk or even the boots. Now granted, should they eventually bring the carbon creator in then it's possible to sexual characters. However, most on EVE don't really do it before there is NO POINT! You know why?? Because you're stuck in a room by yourself going nuts! Also, none of the races have what could be called sexy clothing anymore. It all looks like normal clothing you'd find at the gap. Even the old amarr clothing used to be more risque. Now it's a shirt, tunic, pants and boots or shoes. Most of EVE shut down the CQ just because it's a waste still.

I would think female armors would have physical enhancers to them or would be required of them to be able to hold there weapons. But let's focus on there breast sizes instead and how they walk. <3 these forums These are engineered clones. They've already been enhanced. So no, they wouldn't need enhancers.

Octavian Vetiver Dog Nation United Relativity Alliance 152	Posted - 2012.12.23 20:21:00 - [4] - Quote I can't really say EVE is capable of sexualizing any gender. Since none of us on there really bother with the character creator that much except for the few. I'll admit also that it does have slaves and exotic dancers in it. As little teeny tiny pictures on an info window so small you can see details anyways. And some players do make their portraits pretty skimpy and anime or even with big breasts and rear ends. It's actually rare, most from what I've seen since the current carbon creator came out has been mostly normal, or in some cases scary like Sloth from the Goonies.... like this guy http://www.my-eve.com/character/ugh%20agh
Octavian Vetiver Dog Nation United Relativity Alliance 152	Posted - 2012.12.25 04:25:00 - [5] - Quote I'm still not seeing the whole sexualization thing. Unless you're seriously looking hard, you can't tell really tell the difference between males and females on here. The first time I saw a female merc in the warbarge at the beginning of the fight someone had to not only tell me there was a female character in the match. They actually had to tell me what person it was otherwise I wouldn't have known the difference. And that was by the name of the character and where they were standing.

Look, I'm going to be honest with you here, I have never noticed the difference between the two models. At all. As I was reading the original post, I was trying to remember a time where I actually looked at the models for an extended amount of time and found that these memories don't exist, even with my female vehicle clone. Only time i've ever looked at either model for an extended amount of time is when I'm trying to figure out if that is just one big*** backpack on the back of my SVER Logibro suit. I'm starting to wonder if I could make a case for overtly-sexualized male character models. I mean it's been going on for so long and I NEVER hear anyone talking about those. Then again, maybe I just live in an area with an abnormally low concentration of tall, buff dudes. EDIT: In my...mental thing about fixing errors in my post, I started thinking about that backpack thing again. I'll figure it out one of these days. It's supposed to be power source and environmental pack all in one I think. They should revamp it though. That's right.....coffee makers!!! Or even tea makers!!! Oh!? And what about a travel pack microwave in case a squad mate or someone in corp needs to make a mid battle snack!? CCP fix this!! Right now hundreds of mercs are going without coffee, or tea. On the battlefield!!! It's unseemly!!!

If you can't tell the difference between the genders of assaults & logis, you're not paying attention. And if you're too busy trying to play guess the gender with suits then they're probably killing you while you're thinking.

And if you're too busy trying to play guess the gender with suits then they're probably killing you while you're thinking. It's quite an easy game. If someone can't notice details of a dropsuit as they plan to attack them, then I look forward to mowing them down with my HMG as they charge headlong into a heavy wielding a pistol. I'm not looking to see what gender the suit is. I could care less, telling the suits types apart is easy. Also identifying weapons is the second.
Octavian Vetiver Dog Nation United Relativity Alliance 152	Posted - 2012.12.27 20:40:00 - [10] - Quote Having been in actual warfare, even bothering to tell what gender the person shooting at you is would not be productive. Since there are no combat suits in real life the first thing you look for is what are they shooting with and where so you can shoot them instead. I got an idea, how about you and your college buddy Kazeno or whatever his name is go off to combat and see how long you spend worrying about what gender the person shooting at you is. As for on here, I still can't tell the difference between the suit genders. Even looking at screenshots where it says female suit I can't tell.

Agreed, at this rate they'll scrap any use of the carbon creator for this.

Proof that you don't care about this topic, and you just want to troll up the forums. It's Chunky Munkey, that's about all he does is troll. Him and Tom Gerard would be great friends.

Nobody is playing "guess the gender" it's just easy to spot for anyone closer than 100m. Had quite a few people today closer then 100m, and no I couldn't tell their gender. I was too busy shooting at them and trying to avoid dying to worry about what gender the shooter was, beyond that I was more focused on making sure the sights stayed on the target so I could kill them and move to to the next one.
