95% of eve players are male.
This should be right up there in what will attract them to the game.
I know it makes we want to log in.

Hey Scip, that last one looks like you
Ironically, your statement is true because in a population of males, about half are gay. This is a fact. Gay men are also a prime demographic for their disposable income.
So OP, yes, those types of thing are good for EVE and should increase subs. Among other things.

123notgay That makes 1 1/2 of us so far.
So if I'm only half gay, I can live with that.

Fall in love with another man who is 1/2 gay or 1/2 straight who will complete one or the other side of you.
Your top half or bottom half.

I'm pretty sure at least half of Eve players are gay, certainly if we're to believe the level at which the term is hurled around in game chatter. |

With all due gravitas on the issue, western studies indicate persons identifying as homosexual (with universally more occurance among males than females) at somewhere between 1-6% (probably by aggregate much closer to 1%) of any national population.
I cant speak to having read studies on prevalence of homosexuality in militaries, or in EVE, but I dont see any reason why it would be significantly higher than in any other profession or among MMO players.
I dont think portraying/exagerrating statistics as more prevalent than they are, serves anyones or any rational purpose. Least of all acceptance and understanding of this population demographic and its specific concerns.

It's high in the military because:
The military is predominantly male 18-40ish on the high end Everyone is forced to exercise is employed has medical coverage is independent clean shaven you travel the world together often macho is mandatory
So imagine you're a gay man, and pick your favorite uniform and enlist.
For a straight man, there is no analogous organization in existence.

Hey there's women in the military, right? Most of them are gay too.
>>The military is predominantly male So are any number of female dominated fields, such as nursing. And any number of male dominated fields. Doesnt mean 50% of them are magically gay, or that the professions attract homosexuals.
>>18-40ish on the high end How is age related? You are of a sexual orientation, regardless of your age.
>>Everyone is forced to exercise >>is employed >>has medical coverage >>is independent >>clean shaven >>you travel the world together often >>macho is mandatory ? Any number of men in other professions excercise, are employed, have medical coverage, are independant, shave, travel the world with other men and are macho. Has absolutely zero to do with being gay or hetero.
As to prevalence of lesbians among women in the military of nations who admit them, most of them are hetero and a substantial part of them all have birth children.
What is this fixation you have on military professionals being more gay than other professions? Or EVE players being gay more than other people? Makes no sense.

I exaggerate, embellish, and lampoon. If you read the things I say literally and as fact, you'll take it the wrong way.
Take it the wrong way, get it.
Regarding the prevalence of saying things are gay, it is ignorant. If only because people who do that are making their lives harder by offending people who really are gay. I agree it should go away, sort of. Without it we won't know who the homophobes are.

Oh yes, there was that calendar...
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Nothing was funny in it. Was just false.

There was a study done some years ago which stated that the police were the 'uniformed' service with the highest number of serving homosexuals - male and female.
Still, I am of the mindset which thinks that a person being gay/lesbian is about as important, or less so than the colour of a persons hair.
This is not a signature.
