are booth babes still a thing?
>>335749750
They're a retarded idea in the first place, not even from a sexism angle they're just pointless set pieces in what's supposed to be a video game convention not a Sexpo.
na'vis are ugly as sin
>>335749750
No they're sexist to women uglier than them
>>335749874
>>335749874
All video game cons should also be sexpos.
>OP didnt get wind of the news a few E3s ago where they got bashed by SJW for having booth babes
They have since then stopped and apologized.
No because the moment you see any scantily dressed females, it's reported and posted to social media immediately as being sexist
>>335749874
This
Like I like breasts and all but really, video games are more important here
Feminism putting decent hard working women out of a job
Not since SJWs became a thing
>>335749874
I agree, I don't really get the appeal of vapid bitches who are literally getting paid to pretend they love video games, it's pathetic
>>335749874
>it's retarded to use sex to sell to a mostly male demographic
you're the retard here
>>335749750
no feminist are mad that they arent hot enough to make this easy gig so they shut it down

>>335749750
I went to an engineering career fair a few years ago and even there they had booth babes, albeit in the form of HR girls. Fuck SJW culture

look, I don't care about 'em either.
but SOME people do. Some people like 3dpd and if that's their thing then I won't judge since I don't actually have any strong feelings of hatred towards them.
>>335749750
I don't think so

Sex should sell to consumers, not media reps, anyways.
>>335750216

Yes, it fucking is.
Games should be sold based on the merit of the game, nothing fucking else.

Never understood the point of booth babes. I want to see the games, not some Cali sluts with fake tits and 10lbs of makeup.
its always been my biggest fantasy to jack off into my hand and wipe a glob of my cum onto the back of a booth e3 babes shorts

Booth babes made me nervous and I avoided booths with them.

What's the point of them? Unless sexual appeal is somehow related to the game.
It would make sense for something like Bayonetta.
It reminds me of being at hooters honestly. Food is shit but they have boobs!
>>335749750
Far left is there to make the other 3 look better, right?
>>335750151
Maybe they should be putting more money into making a quality product instead of squandering it on the chance that they'll hook some 14 year olds buying video games based on the erection it gives them.
>>335750476
there are 500lb men that would shuffle around and breathe heavily on them
how fucking beta are you guys?
>>335750084
>Not since SJWs became a thing
This term wasn't even a thing when booth babes got extinguished from E3, this happened many years ago.
Looking back, maybe it was the first sign of the dark days that would come.
>>335749750
ugh...... not once the world freaking grows up
>>335750331
no, the average gamer/normies don't go to cons
I'll take the two on the left, please.
But ya know, I've been thinking...
We're all pissed at Nintendo today, and why not. But could it be that, perhaps in some small way, we're also trying to cope with the fact that E3 has taken another major step towards becoming irrelevant and pointless?

I agree that it's retarded but not for the same reasons. Booth babes are just going to make nerds and betas uncomfortable and not want to go to those booths but just look from afar when they think no one will see them.
>>335750593
>GAF using quotation marks around the word game
Isn't that like the only place that treats David Cage like anything other than a complete hack?
NO and thank fucking god they aren't. video games are not some 15 year old white males wet fantasy and certainly shouldn't be catered solely to them
>>335750512
>It would make sense for something like Bayonetta.
They actually had one for Bayo 2 at E3 2014.
Kind of ironic that it was one of the more conservative booth babe costumes.
Five years ago /v/ mostly bashed booth babes and sex appeal marketing because it was seen as dumb pandering to normies and detracting from showcasing the actual gameplay.
>>335750648
>E3 has taken another major step
Booth babes being discarted didn't happen today.
>>335750494

I'd like to think those types aren't aware of how creepy they're being. Like they're just retarded and don't know better.
Meanwhile I'm fully aware of how creepy I am and maintain my distance out of respect for others.

The "SJW" is a 'useful idiot' by another name. The term applies to the same people.
>>335750476
I would assume booth babes appreciate the nerds avoiding them, have you actually seen the nerds that do try to have a conversation with them?
cringe worthy as fuck, imagine having to spend hours pretending you give a fuck about some video game and deal with nerds trying their hardest to be a chad
>>335750902

i dont see how it is "sexy" when they scream as loud as they fucking can

>>335750634
are you implying most games shown at e3 are for weirdos that play obscure games?
even madden and fifa players dabble in rockstar and ubisoft games
Who needs booth babes now that girls play video games?
>>335750848
Oh, I know. Made me think of it, though.
Nintendo only has one game, other companies skipping it left and right... at this rate it'll be dead by 2020.
>>335751054
Oh, I see. Sorry for misunderstanding.
>>335751136
girls buy more products showcased by attractive women than unattractive women
>>335751002
Man, video game shit is supposed to be nerdy as fuck. I don't want constant reminders of how beta I am. I have my normal life for that.
I am curious as to whether or not there's a definition to "booth babe" and if anyone's tried to find a loophole though.
e3 is weird because the booth babes see your tag and call you over by name. There's a moment where you think "Whoa is this some hot girl I knew from highschool who got into video games?" then you realize it's just some attractive person hired to be there and wants to hand you a flyer about some triple A schlock you couldn't care less about.
My most memorable discussions were with demo booths where I just walk up and start playing then someone comes up behind me talking about the game and I think that it's just someone who wants next on it but it turns out it's the developer himself asking for honest input. Konami devs are cool guys.

it's just like bartenders
their job is to sell a product and they are in an easy position to do so
>too beta to even talk to a woman pretending to be your friend

Why did people make a big deal out of booth babes when every other industry is a lot worse? An easy target?
>>335751227

>Must want to fuck me and knows me from decades ago ;)
I am literally autistic and this is beyond even my comprehension, you are a literal retard.

I love beautiful barely dressed women. They are great. But unless you are advertising something like Senran Kagura, I don't think it's appropriate. Have knowledgable and friendly people repping your product. Sell me on your interesting ideas and fun gameplay, don't fall back to sex (unless your selling cheesecake like Senran or outright porn, in that case go for it).
But I'm sure the far right regressive shits here think it's somehow wrong to not sell with sex now (while noting these women are whores, I'm sure). Just as fucking shitty as the regressive left. What a shitty time to be alive.
Anyways booth babes are a relic of their time and speak to how much harder it was to sell games when technology was shittier.
>>335750009
>video games are more important here
No they aren't. They're video games.
Also E3 is just a shitty marketing event.
>>335751394
>An easy target?
Considering only one person complaining can make a Developer or Publisher change the content of their products, I'd say yes, the Video Game industry is a very easy target.
>>335751394
Because nerds are less secure about their hobby

I love talkative, flirty bartenders. I also love drawing a frownie face next to tips when I close my tab
>>335749874
Girls are nice to look at. Having them around proves that we can still have fun.
Not everything needs an explicit and tangible "PURPOSE", you autismal fuck.
I'm gay, consider myself fairly liberal/progressive and I fucking love booth babes. Watching them be cunty and make autismos drool at cons is so much fun.

Booth Babes are almost certainly thinking about how much of a pathetic virgin the person they're talking to is constantly.
At least bar tenders probably don't secretly hate you.

What are your arguments? "Muh sexualization" and "muh objectification"?
Because if it is you should really grow the fuck up and realize that those two are basic parts of human interaction and both sexes are guilty of doing them. It's not wrong just because it appeals to men.
>>335751925
Easy there child.
Those are individual efforts, back then most, if not all, stands had booth babes.
>>335749750

I find booth babes and shit really seedy as fuck personally.
Reminds me of when I used to get dragged to hooters and you would see all these fat as shit rednecks all drooling over teenage girls.
Personally I find something with with the flat out objectification of it all.
>>335751294
Its not even that
The concept of both babes is so fucking boring and lazy
They could make the booth more interactive and flashy but no. Just shove in a "safe looking" chick and call it a day
Half the costumes arent even clever or sexy, theyre just mediocre left overs from car shows
>>335749874
>all those retards replying negatively to this
You faggots are the same ones that always say HURR DURR 3DPD 2D IS SO SUPERIOR then why the fuck do you need booth babes? eat shit lmao.
>>335749750
booth babe's are for people who don't have enough faith in their own product. so if shareholders piss and moan enough, they'll probably come back. just wait for numales and gamer grrrls to fuck off and they'll start popping up again.
>>335751718
You know what else is fun?Video Games.
>>335749874
This. If they're not naked, and I can't take pictures, I seriously don't give a fuck. So it's just a waste of space and time, that could be spent trying to convince me your game isn't shit, and that it is worth me spending $40-60 on.
>>335752514
>booth babe's are for people who don't have enough faith in their own product.
Then nobody had faith in their products in the early 2000's, booth babes were everywhere.

>>335752867
no, shareholders never have faith in anything they sell, so it makes sense.
>>335752143
It always amazes me that places like Gamerghazi are far more chill and reasonable than fucking NeoGAF.
