Why are booth babes not a thing in tech anymore? It would make me way more likely to buy a product

Why are booth babes not a thing in tech anymore? It would make me way more likely to buy a product.

Like at shows and conventions?

Because it's sexist objectification of women.

Yeah, remember how they used to be everywhere?

Feminist complains about any young and attractive women even if begin casual dress

Because there's too much money now. I'm not going to purchase $200M in BSD servers because a whore gives me a pamphlet and rehearsed speech.

They were always a bad idea. Directly driven consumer sales are better won through online marketing than convention presence. Indirect marketing through media influence is done by paying women to go to hotel rooms at industry conventions, not paying them to stand on the floor.

Wait, if I get into the industry I get free women?

Basically this. The consumer products are all online. The industry stuff is going to take more than a Hooters girl.

I've been offered an escort by a representative seeking my employer's business. It was a pretty wily move, I've gotta say.

You could just take it and say no after lol.

Did you accept? Where was this, America?

No one is forcing them to take those jobs.

I didn't hesitate to decline. They'd have me by the balls, if not from the ethics angle then at least from the sexual one. Still I'm sure it happens a ton and that many do indulge in the offer.

No and yes, respectively.

found the sjw

Australia's CeBIT is literally in the same room as sexpo and the building basically looks the same at both conventions.

We had two story high video of Pamela Anderson showering and the "crazy domains dancers" which were basically pole dancers.

Booth babes are frankly annoying. I can't actually ask a technical question of anyone because the answer is "oh I'm just a bimbo".

do you really think they hire a bunch of moderately attractive women to just sit around and do nothing?

because no fun allowed

I'd be upset if that was my gf to be completely honest

>ask a question, get an answer
>it's the answer you don't actually want to hear
Thanks for moving the goalposts

No one is forcing the jobs to be offered.

Found the edgelord.

But women love being objects, you would know if you ever left reddit and checked Instagram for once.

I'd be upset if that was my wife's daughter to be completely honest.

Why does it matter if it's voluntary? Plenty of things are ''''voluntary'''' that are fucked or just stupid

MUH SEXISM

Post some fucking booth babes faggots

Nice misogyny, you piece of shit.

Well, it's her body. If she wants men to oggle at her voluntarily, she's allowed to do that.

he's not wrong
white knighting is a waste of your time kid

Literally take ethics 101 anytime, you ignoramus.

Hate speech should not be allowed on blue boards.

So wait, a woman doesn't have the right to choose what she does with her body? Is that what you are saying?

Whether she is allowed to do it or not doesn't have any bearing on whether it is objectification.

Sure, but she's doing it for a paycheck at the end of the day for one and she choose to do so, so I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Of course you don't, liberedgetard...

and objectification is always bad?
this isn't a third party imposing unwanted objectification, this is a woman knowingly being an attraction to sell a product
no different to a salesman wearing a goofy costume and and yelling about how great a product is
i don't think we should deny a woman's right to objectify themselves

>HURR DURR I'M A LIBERTARIAN THEREFORE I AGREE WITH EVERY THING MURRAY ROTHBARD SAYS
>HURR DURR CHILD SLAVERY IS THE SAME THING AS A WOMEN GETTING PAYED TO DO SOMETHING SHE CHOOSE TO DO FOR MONEY

KYS yourself

Booth babes? You can't even make a "dongle" joke in tech, and you want hot chicks to stand at your booth?

This isn't the automobile industry user.

*WOMAN

they're still responding to a sexist society. Yes they're free citizens and free to do what they want with their bodies but the fact that society exists in a state that "booth babes" (ugh) are even a thing is troubling.

It's not always the easiest to tackle the problem, so sometimes we tackle the symptom. Booth babes had to go dude, they don't belong in a modern, equal society.

>all caps
You're flustered. Fuck off and don't come back until you've taken some fresh air, kid.

Tech is numale and SJW territory now. Where have you been?

I agree with you actually. I was just pointing out that booth babes are in fact, objectification, and maybe that thinking about the ramifications of that would say something about the state of female social autonomy.

No, the're saying that even if a woman allows herself to be objectified, it's still objectification. Women can do things that are harmful to other women. Women can willingly take part in sexist objectification.

>Yes they're free citizens and free to do what they want with their bodies but the fact that society exists in a state that "booth babes" (ugh) are even a thing is troubling.
That's not my problem. In fact, it really isn't a problem They're getting payed and they are doing the booth babe shit out of their own free will, so again , there's not problem. Women and children being forced into prostitution by pimps and the like is an actual problem. This is not even an issue in the slightest.

Sure. At least I'm not arguing like an idiot my friend, and trying to have my cake and eat it.

you don't like the idea, so fuck the women who do?

right, yes, it's objectification, but my point is that objectification isn't automatically/always a bad/negative thing

>It would make me way more likely to buy a product.

You're the ideal knuckle-dragging consumerist troglodyte that Google, Facebook, and video game publishers prey upon. Congratulations on being a retard.

>huhhuhhuh she pretty she might like me if i buy duh thing

Quints says it's fine

>Women can do things that are harmful to other women. Women can willingly take part in sexist objectification.

Nigger, she's just doing a fucking job. Yea, it's not great, but she's being payed and she wasn't forced into the job, so there's no problem. That woman represents herself and her interests and her body is only hers to command, not any other woman's or man's.

That other nigga correct bitches love 2 b objectified
It's the single greatest goal in any girls life 2 b objectified, just by someone good looking/powerful/rich, not u lmao
that's their problem, not the objectification they love that shit, but by who? substandard

I agree that the aren't the same, but disagree that 'booth babes' (ugh) aren't a problem. Again, they're a symptom of a sexist society.

Well there are positive effects of valuing women for more than just their bodies. I don't think the problem is completely solved but they're being taken more seriously in professional settings these days. Sorry if the booth babe jobs go.. but it's just that people tend to respect women more.

>Again, they're a symptom of a sexist society.
No. They're a symptom of a woman choosing what she does with her body, whether it be for her monetary benefit or pleasure. Her body, her choice, and whatever she chooses, I don't care.

>they're a symptom of a sexist society
prove there's anything wrong with society being sexist

>symptom of a sexist society
I'm going to accept that we all have instincts, yes.
Also, sexism flows both ways as well.

This. You're a mangina and yet you call the folks who tell you the truth about objectification "white knights". Shameful display!

How does it feel to not be a neckbeard on Sup Forums?

Sure you don't, until she decides to expose her heaviset body on the beach or to breastfeed her child in public, right?

Fuck off, you hypocrite!

That's true, but we need to consider both the actor and the environment in which they act. The environment changed because we're starting to respect women more now. If people are free to do what they want with their bodies, you shouldn't be such a shithead about people choosing to reject sexism.

Booth babes were tacky at best and sexist at worst dude. They had to go. If you cared about progressing society towards equality, you'd probably agree.

People like you are the reason why I haven't left this piece of shit site yet.

>Mangina
>Basically following the same instincts men have been following for thousands of years in order to reproduce instead of bitching about whether they are objectifying a woman
I'd beg to differ seeing that you are the one pretending to beher white knght in shinig armor when she fucking CHOSE THIS JOB, KNOWING WHAT IT ENTAILED.

I don't fucking care about that shit. Tbqh I have a breastfeeding fetish, so if anything I like the last part.

>If you cared about progressing society towards equality, you'd probably agree.
I care about people being free to do what they want and what they need, so long as the rights of others aren't infringed. She choose this job and as long as the guys don't get touchy-feely, I don't care,because she's expresing her freewill and no one is hurt in the process.

There isn't, I just don't like sexism because I want to control my own life.

>freewill
Ooooh boy, you opened that can of worms...

>be bikini barista
>be not ugly
>be nice to customers
>make $5k/month from tips
>don't even have to put out
I don't see anything wrong with this

Why is having a good female aesthetic a bad thing?

If people are free to do what they want, then quit being a little bitch about people deciding not to support booth babetry any longer.

How successful have your instincts of buying shit because it was advertised with scantily dressed females been at helping you reproduce, user?

I'd be more willing to buy a GPU if it has QT's on it

>She choose the job by her own volition
>She knew what it entailed
>She does it anyway
I literally fail to see anything wrong with this. If one the first two axioms were not true, then yeah I definitely would have reservations about this practice, mainly because either she's being forced to do it or she doesn't understand what's involved (this on a bit less since she still hooses to do it, but if she doesn't like it and quits whan she finds out what it involves, that's perfectly fine honestly (and probably what I would expect).)

>unironically injecting "(ugh)" into posts

Discarded.

Well, I'm sorry to say but you are a misogynist.

Why? It's her body and she choose to do the job, so why are your fucking jimmies rustled about it?

Who cares and what does that have to do with your actual argument (protip: It's not an argument. It'a an ad hominem)

Well, the point is she didn't choose to because she realized it's sexism and YOUR jimmies are rustled about it.

I'm sure there are still women out there that would choose to do the job, but the number of companies willing to offer it is declining because of the bad PR it causes. It's their choice, in the exact same way it's the woman's to take the job had it been offered.

This is a troll making a dumb argument.

>I'm a misogynist for saying women are free to do what they want in life, so long as they understand the risks therein (or don't)

So....this is the power of progressivism?


Or she can just quit. I don't care. Again, her body, her choice.

Nah, ad hominem is calling others "white knights", you misogynist.

>implying booth babes aren't (ugh) and just all around trashy

You males don't get to decide what is or isn't misogyny.

You shouldn't be allowed in the tech industry

Funny, a minute ago you were a "libertarian"...

Yeah, but I included an argument there to about how men are naturally inclined to oggle at women, due to reproduction and reproductive strategies forged over hundreds of thousands of years. You just flat out made an ad hominen with no argument, like now.


But saying that women are free to do what they want of their own volition is hardly hateful toward nor fearful of women, the definition of misogyny.

No I'm a seperate faggot. This is someone else

Haha okay then just KYS yourself.

This

/thread

Yo I agree with you that booth babes are sexist but anyone can decide for themselves whatever the fuck they want.

>But saying that women are free to do what they want of their own volition is hardly hateful toward nor fearful of women, the definition of misogyny.
Well imo it is also worthwhile to examine the social forces that would lead someone to choose something like that.

How successful are manginas usually at reproducing? That's where your pseudoargument fails.

because all the ugly women in tech complained

>forged over hundreds of thousands of years
This is stupid. We don't know how people acted even a couple thousand years ago. This historical anthropology shit is almost always used as an excuse to be more sexist and it's anti-intellectual and idiotic.

You don't actually know how people acted thousands of years ago. I don't know how people acted thousands of years ago. We don't know to what degree those behaviors affects ours today. We don't know if those behaviors can be unlearned.

Making arguments based on that many unknowns is *idiotic*.

I am glad it is gone.
It was awkward and didn't make me more or less interested in a company.
Now those people do cosplay and make it awkward for people somewhere else.
I wouldn't care if they are there or not.
I don't think they add anything except a weird one-sided sexual tension

Its time m8. The time has come. You must go back. Reddit awaits you

Why? Is this your safe space?

Because the whole fat is beautiful thing never caught on, so its better to demonize attractive women because feminist logic.

>Well imo it is also worthwhile to examine the social forces that would lead someone to choose something like that.
Well, that's your opinion?

So are you essentially saying the majority of men over hundreds of thousands of years are manginas, including the billions that mated sucessfully through this tactic?

>What is evolutionary psychology?
We don't know how people acted a couple of thousand years ago, but we know the biological forces governing human psychology and how they evolved evolutionary strategies that lead to evolutionary sucess through the field of evolutionary psychology, which is able to find ancient behaviors like why we wake from our sleep when we dream about falling (it has to do with our tree-born ancestors needing an alarm system whent hey were asleep and they were about to fall off the tree).

(cont.)
That's your opinion. I just used the dictionary definition of misogyny, which is more objective and more universally accepted, hence a better starting place

Be honest. Have you studied evolutionary psychology?

Just like tattoos, piercings, vegetarianism, drinking any form of alcohol, and whatever stupid life choices you yourself live by

Its almost like you are forcing retarded morals and your own options on others as fact.

People were just as fucking retarded as you are even 100,000 years ago. They were just smaller and didn't have such an advanced cave painting system as we do.

I read that Dawkins' book about memes and genes.

>hose men are retarded for using a sucessful reproductive strategy
>People are stupid for doing something that works
This how you sound.
