[EverydayBeast]

A lot of that was getting games ready to play

E3 is who they are 80s,90s,00s10s perception was babes guns and games we should be upset if there aren't any E3 babes

 

[Salz01]

I remember this. E3 used to be so fun in the early days… and then they let more people in. And then bunch of nerdy dudes hitting on and causing issues for the women there. And then stealing shit.… Just goes to show you can't have good things.

 

[baphomet]

calling the majority of those girls in op babes is a bit of a stretch. there are definitely some hot ones, but most are average at best.

 

[T8SC]

Didn't Nvidia (or 3Dfx) hire some topless pornstars one year? I seem to vaguely recall.

Maybe wasn't E3. I remember it made a few headlines though.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Booth Babes were one of the building blocks of the E3 experience.

Although it was an interesting thing to look forward to, I can't imagine the cringe these poor women experienced, with a whiff of expired deli meat and unwashed ass crack smell coming from neck beard « gamers » who tried to hit on them. It must have been nightmare fuel for them.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Come on GAF, even back then we should have heralded the gaming press and had more integrity.

They didn't experience cringe. They got easy modeling jobs they applied for. And when they got banned they were unemployed.

London motorshow too.... and F1 had grid-girls.

All jobs eliminated by current dogma. Shame, many of those girls used that money to pay for college and to make their lives better... I know cause I asked, while I was checking out the cars.

 

[DarkestHour]

Nothing more woke than removing job opportunities from men/women that want to do them. Same situation with grid girls in Formula 1. These people aren't there against their will. They want to do this.

 

[Flintty]

Good days. I wouldn't even be mad if they brought them back and included booth beefcakes, for equality and shit.

Yup. Definitely the cars...

Some of them made legitimate careers out of it.

But society said it's not allowed anymore. Feminists making their fellow females unemployed, ironic.

 

[synce]

Kind of funny (or sad) they were cancelled for just doing their jobs as any other models. As far as I know videogames are the only industry that's completely banned attractive people.

 

[Aenima]

Now they are all booty babes on onlyfans

 

[nush]

How many porn stars can someone identify in the OPs pics?

I'm not a man of culture.

As soon as I saw the op I just new both of these comments were incoming.

meanwhile at vape shows...

[Rat Rage]

I'm fine with booth babes. As long as you treat them right and don't forget to hover-hand.

 

[bitbydeath]

At least Australia is still cool.
We have metermaids who wander around in gold bikinis filling up parking meters to prevent people from getting fined.

[nush]

and don't forget to hover-hand.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

who cares?

or to a strip club, bar, or fuck your gf?

 

[Slicker than your average]

They're taking everything Away from us. What will we be left with?

 

[Javthusiast]

Good times. Fuckers even took away models at racing events.

Agree. I was looking at them one by one and I was like where the hell are the babes .. no need to point but some of them are not even average wtf

 

[MDSLKTR]

For the love of god someone find that gif of the Wii sports booth babe in yoga pants

 

[jigglet]

I'm not ashamed to admit I admire sexy women. Oh yes.

 

[CGiRanger]

E3 definitely hasn't been the same. It's less and less fun as an event as the years have gone by, and of course as they started to let more and more random people in.

 

[Putonahappyface]

A lot of socks with PTSD.

 

[nush]

of course as they started to let more and more random people in.

It was already going down, that's why they let the general public in.

 

[Saint Boot]

"Feminism" and social "justice" has ruined everything that was once great.

[Marty-McFly]

They must have paid them well to spend their day with the gaming crowd.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I went to many E3s back in the day, they were ever-present. I always found the whole thing kind of... campy. Promo models are cute and all but it's not why anyone was there, and it made the whole thing feel a little bit sleazy.

Except for the Sin Episodes models who still show up in my dreams sometimes.

 

[IntentionalPun]

It was pretty cringe.

I like hot women though so... still kinda miss them lol

 

[RoboFu]

It was pretty cringe but it wasn't because of the girls but some in the guys acting like idiots around the girls.

Also at the end the people online acting like guys forced these girls to be there.

basically people as a whole that were not the girls were the cringe.

 

[Pejo]

Now they've all moved into cosplay and charge you an onlyfans subscription to view them instead of getting to do it for "free" at E3.

Sharp ankles

would not bang

 

[Piggoro]

We used to have E3

 

[BadBurger]

I remember back in the day, the people coming out hardest against the idea of booth babes were not the booth babes themselves (they loved the easy money), or even women, it was the fat unfuckable dudes on places like the penny-arcade forums.

 

[Alpha Male]

Now they are all booty babes on onlyfans

 

[A.Romero]

I got to go to E3 once, I think the year was 2009 (or maybe 2010?) it was when Project Nathan was announced. There were still booth babes and Ubi was giving away thongs to promote rabid rabbits I think. I found it very uncomfortable, to be honest. I don't feel intimidated by girls and I used to go to strip clubs back then but still... They were pretty to look at but some of them were obviously uncomfortable.

I only got a picture with one that was dressed as Bayonetta with an amazing cosplay. Having girls in booty shorts just... I don't see the point. Even now, with so much sexual content available, I don't see why that would enhance the event at all.

I don't care about politics and I don't think it's exploitation. Much less in the US were those girls were billing by the hour and some of them were flew from Japan or other countries. It's just that I don't see the point.

 

[Clintizzle]

Good cosplayers are better than booth babes.

Yeah hot girls are never cringe.

It's the things surrounding them, how out of place it all was. Gaming cons are a bit better these days as far as the audience goes, but back in the day it really was stinky nerds. I remember my first couple of PAX shows. Good lord, people REALLY don't wipe their asses.

These days the crowd is a much better mix of folks; would be great to bring back "sex sells" and have it be a mix of not just hot women.. but all kinds of people that folks find hot.

And ban dudes who show up with cameras being creepy AF.

those girls would rather be there than working at McDonalds, Wal Mart, 711, office jobs, grocery, store clerks, stripping, etc,.... basically they would rather be doing event modeling than most of other jobs out there

 

[lughnasadh123]

I want them to bring in booth bros wearing the same outfits to give lapdances for all those who want the experience back.
