Carebear is typically a player who logs in to enjoy the EVE gameplay atmosphere and to cooperate with others to create stuff and to relax rather than destroying stuff and trembling with adrenaline while hunting a poorly fit industrial ship 20v1 along with other dejected pvp nerds.
That said, us carebears love and need PvP scrubs because they keep the economy going and let us earn space riches by creating constand demand for ships and modules and by keeping high-sec ore prices high.

Much too obvious, and far too easy.
Keep practising, love.

I would personally say that a carebear is someone that does not understand that EVE is a multiplayer game based around PvP and tries to play it as though it is a singleplayer game based around PvE. I'd say it's entirely possible to be a high-sec dwelling industrialist without being a carebear. It's more based on attitude than your in-game activities. The difference is the non-carebear industrialist won't whine when they get blown up by suicide gankers or wardec'd by some bored PvPers because they understand that's just part of the game.

Big difference between Carebear and PvE Player.
By this definition everyone is a carebear cause I've seen whining from every type here in the troll post here. btw, I am king carebear. I'm soft and oh so cuddly.

They just ganking fellow hisec players? Are they care bears too? |

This is just my thought...
Personally, I consider myself a carebear because I just hate fighting other players. It's frustrating because it seems like other players always have more friends, more well equipped ships, more ships and more skill than you.
However, I respect the game's design of being in consistent danger. I won't ***** and whine when I get caught in a gatecamp because that's the risk I ran going into low/null in the first place. And I won't whine about suicide gankers in high sec because that's how the game was meant to be played.
But that's just me. |

So true. I once got accused of buying my account because I was hanging around in 0.4 when a pirate attacked and I just bugged out.
The guy was like 'How much did you pay for your account?'
'What makes you think i bought my account?'
'Cus your bad'.
'I'm alive, and I didn't lose my ship.'...

Carebears are :
Miners whine on the forums that CCP only makes it easy for the gankers.
Gankers that whine on the forums that CCP only makes it easy for the miners.
People that work out a tactic they are pretty sure is a exploit...try it for a while, brag about it on the forums, then whine when CCP declares "Yeap, that's a exploit"
People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that gate guns might actually kill them.
People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that other people might be able to shoot at them without penalty.
People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that someone somewhere might be afk.
People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that someone is afk but cloaked in the system they are trying to rat afk in.
and last but not least :

This is the absolute silliest complaint. I guess being an EVE vet just naturally makes you paranoid, but seriously? Nut up and deal with the idea that the other guy in the system may or may not be spying on you. |

Yeah, it's like living in a WH:
Hmm....someone was on D-Scan for 5 sec's 2 hours ago...have they actually left? (we once had that happen, only a couple of us on, one guy says " Yeah, I'm pretty sure they left" argues with the other guy watching the exit for a bit, flies his orca out, 21 jumps to pick up stuff, 21 jumps back (orca/frieghter pilots will know this take for ever and a half) on entering...is jumped by the people that we were worried about might still be in here 2 hours before. When he asks for ransom, he gets "F**** NO! you made me follow you 21 jumps out and back, your going to DIE!!) The Valdspar is Holy, it must be allowed to float free.
