Booth Babes get hired through agencies, I'm pretty sure the gaming community hasn't heard from many of them is because they really don't care about gaming as a pastime.
It's a generalization of course. I'm sure there are attractive women out there that genuinely enjoy gaming. They'll always have a job at G4 though.
jeah but the "sexy" gamergirls are not there for your eyecandy. (And sadyl there are plenty of men whoch are too dumb tounderstand this.
I sometimes feel a little, well i dont know the appropriate word in english, uhm liek harassed.. i dont want to see half naked tits and asses everywhere and i am happy if i could avoid it.
this objektification of people, mostly women but also men is annoying and bad for the body image(i dont know if there are places in the exop where games for younger audiences are shown. and even if, you will be meeting this persons anyway. its a nice lesson to girls:this could be your job, to be stared because of your body and only because of your body, your mind and your personality are irrelevant. But i dont like this (super) modeling shit anyway. ) in tv and media it correlates with eating disorder and generell bady body images, i mean, hell, 50% of asked 11 year old healty and normal girls wanted to start dieting (survey in german, on mady by a youth-magazine) because they think they are fat... wtf is wrong here?
we show half children in our media that its iomprtantto be beauty for whoat-for others.. the model that wins the prize ist mostly too thin and that we ask why eating disorder and such shit prevails?
i think its a problem of society and the game expos doesnt stand in a vacuum..
it shows how women ale liked-beaty and displayed but not as a person but as candy.
and i think a hellot of men (might be the kind of men which rant about the possibility to date male charas if you male too (yeah, leasbians are okay, gay men not? eyecandy-factor again..) in ME and dragon age and start homphobic slurs online..)might feel very uncomforable at such a con if there were half naked musculuos men everywhere which try to interact or do like state alchemist Strong arm ^^
Maybe we ycould have acors and models wo arent half naked? maybe we yould have actors of all body images-but, okay, well most of the female chartesa are oversequelized and shallow and men come more often in all shapes and colours-but there is also this lame 30-jeahr-old-white-male-with-bronwn-or-black-hair.
(So at this point we coudl say-plz make more diverse characters, female (becaus there are much more less) and male. and let they be played by, hmn, maybe fitting fans or models and give them just normal clothes.
mix it, not 100% assn titties with little bit of clothing but diversity. maybe the next expo there will be a young lady croft with clothes and without monstertitties which can explain the game and play it with you. maybe you will stumble upon the masterchief in his armor which presents a trailer or there will be a big volus or sall volus or mario and luigi and link and zelda and and and... so much possibilities
diversity and love for the charakters > silly objectification and sexualisation for one audience-group lesser then 50%*
my beloved man hates half naked women if they areout on the street because he feeld friggin awkward because ist hard to him not to think about sex if someone is displaying his sekundar genitals.
and often he just want to walk the streets normaly without this. at this situation he has to deal with it, i have too. but there is this practice and its very..cheap i think. thats sad
(and - )its not that i donkt like pretty persons. i even wank or how you call this if its made by females. and use material. but this is my private time and i dont want this to be dragged out-and i dont want to watch people who acting.. well like in heat. (and i dont waht to meet such people or want to deal witch them because they think i could be one of these candygirls as well. )
well, its a complicated topic with many complicated words in it, so if there is something unreadable, plz ask then i try better. but then i need a dictionary.
