I have met a few really nice people playing Eve for the last decade. I have met some nice people. I have met some racists. I have met some complete lunatics. Whereas my experience IRL has been that most people are pretty nice, and only some small fraction are difficult to get along with, in Eve, I find that the majority fall into that last category.
All you have to do is look at the responses you will get here. I am reading a couple of them now and already I’m laughing.
“…it’s probably you.”
Thanks, doc. What an expert analysis and diagnosis that was. Very helpful.
“You ate a shy little pilot who will not own up your true self by hiding behind that avatar.”
Because the healthiest thing to do on these forums would be to reveal your identity to other Eve Players. A game with a history of doxing players, making death threats against them, and even a guy being driven to suicide via harassment.
“you’re probably the asshole.”
Another brilliant psychological researcher showing us he is ready to open his own therapy practice. he follows with
“Also post with your main coward.”
in an attempt to be able to harass you in-game.
Talk about a lack of self-awareness. Those quotes just prove OP is right.
Eve has a concentration of people who behave badly online. There are nice people in-game. I hope you find them in a corporation and get on voice comms with them. I once was in a great corp and had great friends. Those people exist. You have to try out some corps to find them.
There are even a few nice people in this thread, as you can see them trying to engage you intellectually on the topic.
But yeah, Eve, the Eve subreddit, and this forum are filled with some really toxic, and probably underage boys who don’t have a lot of success or power over their real lives, so they lash out online to feel bigger.
“everyone reacts horribly to me” then that’s a him problem.
I’m imagining a gang of people standing in a circle repeatedly kicking some homeless guy telling each other if he thinks all of them are assholes, it’s probably a him problem. I don’t think there’s even a shred of logic in that line of thinking. It’s a rationalization to justify bad behavior and avoid guilt.
The way this thread went down is definitely not a “him problem.”
