They won't listen. I tried. Some people think so long as they like it everyone should just shut up and deal with it.

Here we go again. Anytime someone is offended we get an earful from those who say it's not. If someone is offended than it is offensive. Girls on a stage in sexy outfits doing sexy dancing. Yeah I'm sure the professional woman of GDC just loved it.

Come on guys. GDC is conference for game developer professionals. I'm all for a fun party, but is it really professional to hire dancing girls when woman have been fighting for respect in the gaming industry for decades?

You don't have to be offended for someone to be offensive to someone else. I'm not offended by the girls. I love sexy dancing girls. But it's not a bachelor party, it's and industry event.

I'd also like to point out that the whole "anything goes" and "stop being sensitive" attitude is a little inconsiderate.


Wow, you really went full throttle there! I won't bother replying to most of it, since I didn't even make those points in my OP, but I will stand by the fact that I don't think it's anything to be offended about when girls wear pretty clothing and dance. There's a difference between wearing a dress and wearing a thong! 

Also, why can't women dress pretty, dance, and still be respected? Are men not respected at events where there are men dancing on stage?


You put a sexy girl in a sexy outfit on a stage to do a sexy dance. Who is it for? It's for men to ogle at.

 

You are being discriminatory against lesbians. I find that offensive.

Lesbianism offends me. We can play this game all day. 

PS: Lesbians don't offend me at all, this oversencitivity must effing stop.

I find you finding everything offensive, offensive. And furthermore, your use of needlessly sophisticated words is uncouth.

There is so much going on in the world genuinely worth being offended over, and people get offended by a few dancing girls. A bit pathetic maybe?

Most men like pretty women, most game designers are men.

We could all pretend to be asexual to avoid offending a tiny minority.

Or that tiny minority could maybe, erm, just get over it.



Too much planning, and you'll never get anything done.
