Jimquisition: Booth Babes

[Lyri]

You just acknowledged you misinterpreted my last post. Please don't then do it again in this post.

I'm sorry, I probably should have read on, but this is a serious problem. I do not appreciate being repeatedly misrepresented.

Unless you have some mystical meaning that is hidden between the words of

"I just want to point out that a lot of slaves were happy" when I claimed that porn stars liked their jobs, you're not being misrepresented.

What's with all the hate for booth babes? I love 'em, and think they should be naked! If they offend you, don't go!!

While this is a very good discussion, it misses one voice: That of booth babes ! (well more than one).

Jim, why didnt you use your charm, wealth and influence to bring some booth babe to the show? I am curious how the gaming-cons compare with car shows and photo shows (which also have booth babes, which EVERYONE "tests" their cameras on) from their point of view.

The public (me) is attracted to flashy lights, loud music and sexy people. A developer/publisher that hires attractive staff definitely grabs attention.

It is also weird that besides arguing about both babes without having no input from them, the gaming community is discussing whether it is a great idea to fire a bunch of women from the conventions.

Go talk to a woman. They talk back. Most have things to say.

Booth Babes

The punditry of the videogame community have been chatting an awful lot about booth babes this past year or so.

Thank god someone who's not treating these ladies like some kind of plague. There people too and I intend to treat them as such. also the fact that you can still have cosplayers where the booth babes are banned is hypocritical to me.

My solution: Find a middleground. since no one is objectively right instead of causing these poor women to lose jobs. Why not just dress em up a bit and hell teach em something about the games, make them knowledgable about the product.

What I don't get is this strange demeaning sympathy for booth babes as if they wouldn't be able to get another job that would dignify and reward them for using their brains? Why is that such a bad thing? I just don't think that this level of objectification is healthy to anyone.
