I never got the big deal about booth babes post it i guarantee you 99% of the people on here don't care either way . I really hate all of these white knights saying it's wrong or degrading or the usual BS about how would you feel if it was your daughter ect . From womans point of view well at least mine its a job like any other and if thats what those women want to do they they can do its there choice

The only difference between a politician and a criminal in patience . A criminal will try to take everything immediately where as a politician known to take it one small piece at a time

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.

 

AND HIS CAT.

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.

Well that's an oxymoron. I choose to be an egalitarian because it actually makes sense. I don't see it as sexism because I don't see it as prejudice against women or stereotyping against women. The only people that can see it as "offensive" are those who have sexist minds either towards women or towards men. Kind of ironic how feminists are generally sexist against men.

Well you could post it, but it might look bad on LinusMediaGroup (for the motives of posting such a video), on the other hand, a lot of people will see it, and highlight an 'issue', if people feel like there is one, that is.

 

Depends, on what you think ('you' as in anyone reading this post), but there is gonna be some shi... crap... in the comments about sexualisation and negative attitudes to women, some of which may or may not be their. There are some very gender balanced and classy booths there, but then there are some more... appealing alternatives.

 

I am a strong proponent of freedom of expresion, negative or postive.

 

Either way, it really reflects on the companies, and I'd like to see how some of the ones I buy from represent themselfs.

 

TL;DR: You should post it, it's the companies image, not LinusTechTips.

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. 

 

Please explain to me how it's sexist? They are getting paid to perform a job. They chose to be there. It's their right. Who are you to say it's sexist because they are working and then assuming that people would perform sexual acts on themselves while watching the video. That's incredibly immature on your part.

I'm gay, and I still don't want that here. I know where to find eye candy if I want it. And I don't want it here.

I registered to give my two cents
I think this is pretty childish and not needed
I'm no feminist or anything like that but why would you want to JUST watch Booth Babes on a channel dedicated to Tech Tips
I get the feeling that most of the people here are infact under 18

I'm german so my Grammar is weird sometimes
please excuse that

They are getting paid to stand around for a bunch of people to gawk at them.

I, Cpl Corey Gibson, hereby revoke your man-card for the reason of this statement.

 

It's ok, because I have my Pink Card, which is far more important to me. If having a "man-card" means I have to demean women, then I don't want it.

Why would you need to post it? There are a lot of other outlets where people can see them, there is even a whole thread with a bunch of pictures of booth babes on the forum. I think Linus Media Group is trying to be more professional, and a whole video with booth babes is not my idea of professional.

They chose to be there. The company didn't say "stand around to let people stare at you, or we'll shoot you." They had a choice - and they still do. They can walk away if they wish.
