You mean like that obscure little event called E3?
No? There were women at E3.

Trust me I know all about discrimination so cut the condescending rubbish please.
All I'm saying is there'd be uproar if a "Men only" gaming event was organised, that's all.

The pointlessness of the whataboutism that describes a hypothetical men only gaming event ignores the fact that gaming events in general are mostly male dominated to an absurd degree and very very off-putting to women with things such as "booth babes" being used to sell games that have nothing to do with sexual content. So if there was an uproar, it'd be for different reasons. Like somebody said on the last page, it's about as stupid as asking "why isn't there a white history month?"Trust me I know all about discrimination so cut the condescending rubbish please.

Yeah exactly. I'm pretty sure it means the same in any language that the word exists, which is why I didn't really buy the excuse.
I don't know who exactly you were referring to as bimbos, so I can't say what word you should use. All I got from it was that you were talking about women in context of video games.
In terms of prominence and impact, he was one of the main people pushing it, though he would constantly pull that weaksauce thing where he'd say he was "just asking questions" and how "we just need to focus on all the unethical things done by people who I just happen to disagree with politically" and all that.Not to get off topic but in the latest TotalBiscuit podcast episode he said how The Last Night controversy was not a big deal. TB pulls a large crowd yet he is unable to take a moment and understand why it was problematic. Industry leaders need to lead from the front with tackling toxicity.Though from my understanding he pushed GG at one point
#notallneogafthreadsDidn't read but let me guess, this thread grow to 7 pages due to a bunch of guys trying to tell us the real issue is that this was a women-only event?

Nobody is naive enough to come, post bimbo and then play ignorant to it's connotations. First thing that pops up on google.
You fucking serious man?
in googtradBimbo est un terme argotique emprunté à l'anglais et utilisé pour qualifier une femme qui met ses atouts en avant, qui joue de son physique sur le côté sexy, qui n'a pas peur d'attirer le regard. Souvent ayant une forte poitrine refaite, associée au stéréotype de la blonde, une bimbo est généralement caractérisée par un comportement juvénile, et superficiel.
Bimbo is a slang term borrowed from English and used to describe a woman who puts her assets forward, who plays her physique on the sexy side, who is not afraid to attract the eye. Often having a strong breast redone, associated with the stereotype of the blonde, a bimbo is generally characterized by juvenile, superficial behavior.

Oh for fucks sake. Anybody even remotely defending this should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
"Mens only" events happen already. They're just not named as such because, well... let's take a look at E3.

Finding ONE woman quickly turns into a Where's Waldo game
how about you don't presume that all women taking jobs at e3 booths are "bimbos". that sounds pretty good.
The vast majority of attendees were men and no one seemed to complain about it.
Regardless of what positive influences TB may have in the PC gaming space from a purely gaming perpective, let's not ever mistake it for TB being a good person.Not to get off topic but in the latest TotalBiscuit podcast episode he said how The Last Night controversy was not a big deal.

Why do you keep saying plasticWell the definition I get is simply a woman who's not affraid to show her plastic there's no idiot part of any kind.
Some of you may confuse it for the blond stereotype but I wasn't.
but it's not GAMING that has a problem, it's just people, man!!!! hashtag thoughts and prayers hashtag not all men!!
Proof of why these women only events should exist tbh

Why do you keep saying plastic
It's pretty disgusting behaviour.
But to play devil's advocate, I'd like to see the reaction if a "Male only" gaming event was organised.
Why did they cancel it?
I don't get it, just ignore the trolls and go ahead with your event. By cancelling, trolls already won, don't give them that pleasure.
But it is people. Any kind of non white male exclusive event has met this response. Just in the last month I saw outrage over Women old screenings of Wonder Woman and some clip of Tucker Carlson being a twat about a black only event.
Not that it's much consolation, but I don't think the reaction is to look at this and be embarrassed by gamers. Look at this and be embarrassed by people (and try to do your best to fight it in gaming circles).
I was talking abou the one exhibitted as piece of meat like in car show I find it really stupid boobs won't sell me a game.But to some publisher it seems to be normal.

I mean, yeah, there probably would. But that's only because gaming is an incredibly male dominated space with the vast majority of its leaders being male. Dudes don't *need* a male only event because the male voice is the default voice. It's not even remotely fair to directly compare a male only event with a female only eventTrust me I know all about discrimination so cut the condescending rubbish please.
All I'm saying is there'd be uproar if a "Men only" gaming event was organised, that's all.
Why the fuck are you assuming that the women who were to appear all got plastic surgery in order to flaunt their sexuality?
Think for a fucking second.
Well I don't know what else to say shape ? form? I gotta admit I'm not used to talk about women body in english and in french we say "sa plastique" talking about a woman's body so I assumled it was the same.

I didn't blame them at all, chill out. I said that I didn't understand because I couldn't read the details, it's not in English.
It's just a shame that the event was cancelled. I get that it's not something the attendees should have to deal with, but the comments here appeared to be on an online forum. Why would the attendees even see it?
So the right term is booth babes ? I don't know I always thought babe was a bit more vulgar than bimbos but seems like I was wrong.
Ah sure, I guess you mean so called "booth babes". To my knowlegde this kind of hiring isn't anymore allowed at E3 either. I think it started with PAX that banned it first. Now they have simply booth workers, men and women, who are there to present and demonstrate the games. Rather than hiring women for the sole purpose of titillating the male attendees. It changed so women would be there to sell products, not to be products.
Tbf, an event that doesn't allow a certain gender and a event that only attracts a certain gender are completely different things. (not saying that one event is worse then the other, but your E3 comparison here doesn't really work).
"plastique" when talking about a bimbo is also about how they're made out of "plastique" since nothing about them is real.
That's also the connotation of the word bimbo.
French is fun.
All I'm saying is there'd be uproar if a "Men only" gaming event was organised, that's all.
I bolded the booth worker for you. That's what they use at these events. And yes I would agree that if E3 didn't already get rid of "booth babes", they really should. But those aren't the only women participating at E3. They work in many different roles just like men do, while highly underrepresented. And this is a problem people are trying to fix.So the right term is booth babes ? I don't know I always thought babe was a bit more vulgar than bimbos but seems like I was wrong.
By saying that "maybe they posted out to the wrong audience" you're putting the blame on the organizers of the event, even if you don't intended it to sound that way. Sorry if I seemed too fired up, but you can never be too trusting in this kinds of threads. Some users like to feign ignorance to shitpost all over.
As for how they got to see the harassment... I mean, it's pretty clear that these assholes didn't magically decide to stay in their own little cesspool of a forum. They leaked to Twitter, e-mail, etc. That was the point of their campaign.
See? Faking ignorance at its finest.
Dude. Seriously. "Booth babes" is offensive and you know it. That's why Budi said "so-called 'booth babes'" and you freaking know it. You're not fooling anyone.
The trolls could be more than actual women attending the event , hence creating chaos and making feel uncomfortable the women.
Forocoches has tons of subscribers so just a tiny amount of them were needed to troll the event.
Then maybe white dudes need to start acting like they got some godamned since and quit harassing anyone that doesn't look like them. Until people can fuck with this "I don't agree with insert-only events. We need to live together!" bullshit.
The vast majority of attendees were men and no one seemed to complain about it.
