Should we Post the Booth Babe Video?

[arkon]

I hope your wife doesn't kill you, Linus.

[TheDanishDude]

omg.. if people do not want to watch it, simply, just dont click the link/video? -.-'

[christos0101]

Well you could make it private and only viewable via a link so the people who don't want to watch it can easily avoid it.

You can do this or uploade it on LinusCatTips....

[eddaso]

Linus, you have to ask yourself what kind of community you want.

[_david_]

Nobody forces people to watch it, Watch if you want to see it or don't watch it..

[WAFFLETIME]

Linus just do it.

 

people will be butthurt either way

How is it being sexist admiring the female form. We are not saying women are weak or terrible or objects purely for sex. We are merely saying they look really nice and that is simply admiration. Sexism is thrown around far too easily.

 

if it were like the video where slick had the booth babe held up the avermedia's portable gamer capture card that's acceptable.

 

however, the title of the thread itself is easily misconstrued :| 

[HEXiT]

the booth babes are part of the experience. without them or at least a nod to em its not really a complete picture of the event.

as for fapping over em. ???? really when the web is full of actual porn... 

[Repton]

Linus,  you'll honestly gain more respect by not posting it.  

 

It would however be utterly hilarious if you hyped it up like this and then uploaded  a video of yourself and Slick dancing in jock straps in the garage.

because you aren't amire them based on anything other than their sex appeal. The shear fact that they were hired to stand around displays in revealing outfits for a bunch of men to start at is bad enough.

I voted no. It's degrading to women and offensive. If it were your wife, your girlfriend, your sister, you wouldn't want a bunch of geeks ogling. If you need to see boobs, there are more than enough already on the web. I could not, in good faith, refer anyone to LTT forums or videos any longer if that type of thing occurs. It's just... ug.

 

It's tough to be a male feminist at times.

[e.dewaal]

Or post on linuscattips.. :) that vids are awesome btw, even though I don't own a cat...

Linus, post if you want to... it's your choice.

[Lamb]

If people don't want to see it, then they don't have to click it. Just upload it.

[Dani360c]

put it on linuscattips then! :)

I boldened the important part.

I voted no on principle. Booth Babes are about attracting men through sex appeal, any other excuse is a lie people tell themselves. That is treating women as objects for sex. 

Now, objects *purely* for sex? No, it's not doing that. But objects for sex is pretty bad as is.

Yes, people could "just not watch it," but that comes from people who do not have a community mind.

[ShadowLight18]

if you got it, and you dont mind posting it. then by all means do it.

ill check it out if you do.

if you dont. i dont care,

[Jimmah]

I would like to see this video posted for educational purposes :)

dont give him ideas

Tbh I'd watch both with the same degree of interest. If probably for different reasons.

I support this.

 

Linus, you have to ask yourself what kind of community you want.

This, exactly this. Up to you Linus. But I suppose the whole "90% requirement" is to show that he only wants that kind of community if the community already IS that kind of comunity.

[ajoy39]

you sure prefer male booth babes, too bad for you

there are no male booth babes, thats why its sexist. 

[MooseParade]

Put it on the tech quickie channel if people are butt hurt about seeing it

[Godlygamer23]

If you don't like it, don't look at it.

[JMcGlads]

Please vote no guys, PC enthusiasts are already labelled as misogynists. The fact that electronics expos like Computex and E3 even HAVE booth babes is already sexist enough, we don't need to make it worse by literally posting a video for people to fap to.

[frawlzfans]

Post it. Its the same "is it sexist" debate the gaming industry went through a few months back after KSI at Eurogamer.
