I've read many definitions of this wording throughout the EVE forum, and I've seen people use it in many interesting, and strange ways, but I want to know for certain...Just EXACTLY what IS a Care bear? I've seen people use this word as an insult towards people who are hardened pirates. I've also seen this word used towards people who are new and don't understand the rules or the sadistic culture of the citizens in the world of EVE. I've seen this word used all over the place towards just about everyone new or experienced so I'm rather lost to the actual meaning of this word.
Is it someone who acts nice? Is it someone who has a heart? Is it a naive person? Is it someone who is upset that their expensive ship got ganked? Is it someone who doesn't attack without provocation? Is it someone that minds their own business?
Or is the word Carebear just a way to label people in a negative fashion, and is an all around insult like calling a person a "NooB" or something like that in an effort to minimalize them in the eyes of others?
Just curious.

An adjustment: someone who goes out of their way to avoid PvP activities at all costs. The most hardcore carebears play the game solo or in pseudo-corps (a 'corporation' of players who are all in the NPC corp and share a private chat channel rather than form an actual corporation that could be wardec'd).

They try to play the game like it didn't have non-consensual pvp, and typically advocate the expansion of consensual pvp.

This is a role-playing game in which some people play the monsters, some try to play heroes, and some play the victims and bystanders. Since we all have a choice, it makes you wonder what's wrong with people who pay fifteen bucks a month to play the role of victim and bystander. Those people are carebears and their syndrome is disconcerting to many of us; the truth is, we call them a name because we are afraid. There are so many of them. They walk on the streets among us, and we have no way of knowing who they are. They could be your co-worker, your best friend, your mother.
No, scratch that, I know for a fact your mother likes to roleplay a pirate.

Well, just as you like Pewpew'ing, other people might enjoy trading and manufacturing more.
Where is your problem ? I mean seriously..do they call you names because you enjoy something else more than they do ? (Well..Gankers maybe..but honorable Piwats..nevah ! xD) Ive played many MMO's (dating back to DaoC) and in no game "Carebear" was used as a cuss as much as in EvE, which is kinda funny if you know what Mordred was :P:P
That said: I like dogfights in Roidfields, Sunsets (disapperaing behind shipwrecks) and Flowers (BOOOOOM) ^^

a Carebear is a rat that replies and cries when you shoot it.
it's so much fun to shoot them, it's like a furby compared to a normal teddy, it just does more

Carebear is one of those terms thrown around by people when they try to insult you.
at its base, it is someone who avoids pvp at all costs, but, it is used by some to attempt to insult those who don't pvp on their terms.
in other mmos, i have had loads of profanity filtered word filled messages with carebear in, simply because i have told someone well before they engage an enemy "i am not going in on that one with you" usually because i prefer fair (fun) fights, and i dont see 10 vs 1 as a fair fight, or, because the other guys have been acting like idiots and deserve what they are about to get (not a fan of e-peen waving). Then, what usually happens, is they decide that i didnt really mean it, and engage anyway, get wiped out, and flood my personal chats with gibberish.
i have a carebear mode, and its on sometimes, but other times its very much disengaged :) (depends who i am talking to and what impression i want them to have of me)

why so much negativity agains care bears, im a miner although i do have a combat alt. i never understood why people hate miners so much, you still get to kill us in low sec when where mining or hauling, and really care bears are the main drive behind the eve economy. what if evry single miner and pve mission runner went on strike, you'd be paying through your teeth for ammunition.
i however hate macro miners and cowards who stay in npc corps, i haven't spent more then and hour in a npc corp.

what if every PVPer/Pirate were to go on strike? you would lose you main source of income as they tend to be the people to dish out that little bit more for the better ammo.

Lies. If that were the case the so called 'pvpers' wouldn't be whining about the removal of Insurance they would just adapt.

As opposed to a 'pvper' whining about 'carebears' and Insurance nerfs which they 'think' affect them.

This.
But to add a little, a carebear is any person who does not realize that eve is a game, and that it consists of both winning and losing. Additionally, care bears may or may not realize that Eve is a Pee Vee Pee game, and by undocking, you consent to a possible ass beating. When under attack, convoing them will usally result in responses such as "why," "why me," "Why are you doing this," or any variation that involves questioning the aggressors actions in a way that would only be an acceptable assuming people play eve in the same manner they go to work or school.
In short, a CareBear is one who believes that all values, logic, customs, courtesies, and social norms that exist in the real world should somehow apply to his or her pixel property.

Edited by: flakeys on 28/08/2008 11:54:02 Carebear :
-People who blob you with WAY more numbers and then say noob in local
-People who join a corp purely to later on kill a corpmate who is in the middle of a fight with npc and has NO CHANCE IN HELL to get out.
- High sec Suicidegankers
-0.0 folks outblobbing each other because they r too afraid to loose a ship yet cry on the forums it's laggy , as if it never was before
One of these i also done a lot so also calling myself a carebear here tbh.
The way people use the word carebear and/or noob is just funny tbh.I don't think someone who lives in high sec all his time is a carebear.I find them more brave/honourable then the people i mentioned above thus in my book those r the reall carebears.The ones that r too afraid to loose yet pretend to be uber pvp-lords.
There r more of these types but i just named the most frequent ones.

Carebear is a PVPer who grinds missions or rats belts for ISK (and generally really doesn't like to be disturbed by doing those most boring parts of EVE), unlike 1337 pro gosu PVPers who use their daddy's credit cards to by billions of ISK from certain bad people and can PVP safely knowing they can replace any in game loss with RL $$$.

We already have got an adaptation dude, we are just gonna bring more numbers of cheaper ships instead of less numbers of expensive ones..our profits per gank will be lower...so we will need to gank more of you....so your losses will be higher...and your crying will be sweeter.
Messing with the game instead of sorting it yourself can have rather unpleasant effects don't you think??????????.

A Carebear is not someone who whines and moans when they get ganked, thats a poor loser. I am a proud carebear at heart, but a carebear with 83 million skillpoints, and most of them are combat based skillpoints.
Most people on these forums who throw around the carebear word as a derogatory term also call everything they dont understand or like gay or gh3y, so you can see the sort of mentality you are dealing with.
