..no, not your usual "my nail broke" or "that gamer geek keeps looking down my top" cries of protestation ..but rather real political stuff dealing with real issues ..like not being to able to wear a bikini, they even went so far as to have slogans (ghost written?)

all joking aside, while it is a good issue to fight, these girls arent the best spokes ..err women for the cause (censorship at e3)

btw is it just me or is the thought of a babe carrying a slogan that says "E for Everyone" giving the wrong impression? :naughty:
 
That picture is begging to be photoshopped :D

I guess E3 will be E3 with or without the booth babes.

Really?
I'm not prudish and I don't have a problem with porn etc. but I really dislike the whole "booth babes" thing. Less because it "objectifies" women (which it does, but that's another debate for another time), more because it reinforces the idea that all gamers are grubby little perverts.
This is a misconception and it annoys me, and game developers only help this along when promo stuff is full of scantily-clad women, especially when they're totally extraneous to the actual product. That CoD girl being a case in point.
*Burns bra*
 
I couldnt care less about booth babes at e3 (not my type of women, plus the immaturity aspect, plus the uselessness of it all) ..it's more about censorship (besides the booth babes, they've also worded it so that developers who have an adult themed title are prohibited from promoting it on the show floor (outside is ok)). They're sending a message: scantily clad/sexual situations in games is a no-no but violence is ok

Hey, how come you get two? You must be a whole third sexier than me :(
 
Thing is they'd be allowed in dressed like that. It's the in-the-crack bikini's that've been banned.

But you're only one third less sexier!
 
I dunno why but there are always too many Asian booth babes. Hell I'm sure every guy gets yellow fever every once in a while but like at every convention type thing I've seen pictures from it's a noticeable ratio. Needs more Latinas :D

What the hell is an in the crack bikini? It doesn't sound appealing for some reason.
