Carebears simply don’t understand that the labels they assign to the players who harvest them are actually viewed as badges of honor. Calling someone who destroys other players a “griefer” or a “sociopath” or a “PKer” doesn’t make them slick into the shadows in shame and regret at what they’ve done; it’s basically just another trophy they add to the mantle. Kind of similar to how they’d place bounties on us, thinking that it would be sweet revenge for our transgressions. They couldn’t understand (or refused to even _try_) that it was a source of pride for us. Man, that was a really good game mechanic. I wish they’d bring it back. ---

It has quite a few meanings, all of them having to do with being bad at competitive video games like EVE, and life in general: - Pudknocker Karens – PKs don’t know how to fly their ships, and always complain about their lack of skill compared to respectable, well-versed pilots like miners and mission-runners, demanding game mechanic changes to enable them to grief players who otherwise don’t even notice their existence - Pretentious Krabs – PKs are really nothing but mindless ISK farmers (a fact they always try to hide with straw men and personal attacks), engaging in the game’s objectively easiest activity to farm risk-free ISK that they RMT away to pay for rent because no one will give them jobs in real life due to their toxic attitude - Pissant Knaves – They’re completely harmless, and only pretend like they’re tough; they can only achieve success against real PvPers like miners and haulers by using exploits and DDoSing their targets off the internet - Podunk Kippers – They’re about as ineffective and insignificant as small salty fish (a stunning coincidence, considering how salty PKs usually are because they fail all the time) - Powerless Kumquats – PKs are basically about as scary and intimidating as a small orange fruit ---

It is amazing the reaction you can get by correctly defining Eve as a PK game. PK players are not necessarily good players, they just know how to take weaker more vulnerable players out. ---
