SUPRISE! FREE PROMOTION FOR YOUR GAME NO ONES HEARD OF!
Better exploit this while you can, Blade&Soul team...

Who exactly is it hurting? These people are paid to wear these costumes, and it's up to them. If they're going to put a dress code into conventions, I'd first of all ban all the calorie enhanced blokes from wearing fukus. That's far more mentally scarring.Gigaguy64 said:

Honestly, I think they should be able to wear anything for the promotions. We're generally dealing with professionals in professionally creating costuming here. It's not like someone is exploiting slave girls or whatever. Nobody showing up as eye candy at one of those things is there for any other reason besides the fact that they want to do so (for money).
I think Korea is laughably wrong here.
This is not quite as lulzworthy as the Nokia/Nintendo battle though.
I see it as being similar to how we saw attempts to "clean up E3" which of course lead to the question of "why, what's wrong with E3? The spectacle is half the point".
I think the costumes highlight a reason people think games are sexist: stupid exploitative costumes. The one on the left isn't bad, it's just that she has clothes/armor everywhere but her chest (read: cleavage). It's the one on the right that's bad: who goes around the world, even a fantasy one, looking like they forgot to put on pants?
Yeah... Repressed sexuality sure is fun uh? We totally should regulate what people can wear... And what they can say... And do... And think...Gigaguy64 said:
Just give me one good reason why they shouldn't go butt naked if they want to? Best I can tell the whole "OMG PUT CLOTHES ON!" thing started when people who looked bad started feeling self-conscious over people who actually look good.
Tough shit. I'm no model either, but I recognize people's right to dress (or not) as they damn well please. For fuck's sake, it ought to be a basic human right...
@OP: Korea seems very much "in the closet" right about now.
Whatever. I prefer European girls anyway.
Anyway, I think you have the right to wear what you want, unless you are a guest at someone's home and they have dress codes. Which, they apparently have. So it's fine they kicked them out.
Also, just because they are women, doesn't mean they have to dress like prostitutes.
I think they should wear something cool rather than something out of a fucking anime.

"Appropriate" is subjective. Yes, if there's a dress code, it should certainly be adhered to, but as far as what is and is not appropriate is based on individual taste. A person walking around without pants would send a nun into fits, while it wouldn't even warrant a glance from a nudist.Gigaguy64 said:
As far as this goes, there was a dress code, the ladies violated it and were removed. Decency, modesty and sensuality have little to no play here. It's like an elementary school child wearing a shirt with "the f word" on it to class. Dress code violation, disciplinary action, done and on to the next one.
Personally if you are going to be that skimpy make it look good those outfits...ugh.
LIKE SKIN TIGHT CHAINMAIL!!!!!

Smooth move, Korea. You get a decent shot to ogle hot chicks and it's okay, but noooo, the outfits are too skimpy. What a gaggle of morons.
