Whether or not this is an issue I think this is a poor defense for booth babes as this argument just defends the situation rather than do anything to challenge it.Vault101 said:AND it is true that gaming is still very male orientated...

If you make a statement that includes the word "all" (or "none") and it's not about mathematics or logic then you're basically guaranteed to be wrong.
Come on people, I obviously meant straight boys. Lets not be pedantic. The escapist has become way too much of a bitching ground lately.djs.specs said:Sex sells and until it doesn't then there will be a 'demand' for booth babes in male-dominated areas. Although, that being said, I'm yet to see a half-naked bloke at an arts and crafts fair :-/

Yeah, sweeping statements are dumb.
Even straight boys.JanatUrlich said:Come on people, I obviously meant straight boys. Lets not be pedantic. The escapist has become way too much of a bitching ground lately.
...but doesn't the word 'hot' encompass anyone's personal idea of an attractive woman? There isn't one type of woman that counts as 'hot'. That's a very simple minded view of women.Hagi said:Even straight boys.JanatUrlich said:Come on people, I obviously meant straight boys. Lets not be pedantic.

When I think of 'hot' I think of your standard movie star model, basically Angelina Jolie. And honestly? I've trouble thinking of anything that looks more boring then that. It just looks fake and plastic. Probably not fair to girls who look that way, but I can't really help my preferences.
I like to think there's a little bit more diversity to people then just pubertal standards.
And I'm mostly just ranting a bit here, don't take it too seriously. It's not really directed at you. Just my knee-jerk reaction to little harmless things that still manage to annoy me.
Exactly. And it really works. I LOVE BOOTH BABES AND THEIR BOOBS!Generic Gamer said:I don't get how people can not understand it. It's really the simplest marketing strategy known to mankind
now HOLD ON just a second thereyuval152 said:At E3 and other gaming convictions "booth babes" are hot chicks dressed as the main character of a game,or promoting a game.
Basically sluts.
oh I get it...but that kind of wasnt my point hereGeneric Gamer said:I don't get how people can not understand it. It's really the simplest marketing strategy known to mankind, aside from maybe just straight up asking you to buy the product. Plus look at women's mags, even women who aren't into other women like looking at pretty women, a booth babe is literally a no-loss proposition!JanatUrlich said:All boys like hot girls.

You want someone to look at your stall, you get a hot girl to promote it. Simple. And it obviously does work or people wouldn't spend money getting the girls.
As MovieBob said in one of his videos 'guys like pretty girls, girls like pretty girls, some girls really like pretty girls'.
Slut also means a girl who "shows" her stuff.(not in a stripper way)Vault101 said:now HOLD ON just a second thereyuval152 said:At E3 and other gaming convictions "booth babes" are hot chicks dressed as the main character of a game,or promoting a game.

first of all having alot of sexual partners doenst nessicarily make you a horrible person (but thats an issue for another day)
THIS has NOTHING to do with sexual partners
the women doing this are doing it BY CHOICE....and if your going to refer to them like that then what about the drooling man-children who like that kind of thing (thats not my opinion but you see where Im going}
I may not be 100% ok with the booth babe thing but I find that kind of offensive (and my "issues with women" alarm bells are going off)
Thing is though, not only the games industry does this, all industries do.trollpwner said:Ehhhh.....whatever your opinion on it, it really doesn't help the image of the gaming community. And no amount of breasts make a game better.
