Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Phil Spencer Apologizes For GDC Party Having Scantily Clad Dancers

Strap a leash around them with 3DS's attached and we have a Nintendo party.

Topless girls and eating out of the carcass of a goat, we have a Sony party.

We change our clothes like a girl changes clothes... and our minds. Microsoft party? PR party? Whaaaat *changes t-shirt*



I feel bad for the girls in this video. They were having fun at a party. I doubt they were hired strippers or just "whores" in general. I always thought SJW defended peoples rights. Not discrimination toward them LMAO!!!

Honestly though, I can only imagine how one of those girls may feel if they saw their picture online with a statement from a company apologising for their (the girls) presence there. Microsoft invited them and then apologised for them being there? It was hardly overly sexualised, 10 years ago this would be like going to E3 lmao!

Yes, lets apologize for how beautiful the female figure is. Makes sense.



Omg, talk about overreaction and the piece of s $!@!t feminists who would cry about this. We keep going backwards. Might as well force all women to start wearing hijabs. Phil doesn't need to apologize for ANYTHING !



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

They arent badly dressed for dancers. Couldve been much worse... Way to overreact, MS

Exactly. They are dressed in a "conservative" way for these days.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Uh huh. I'm OK with Microsoft not wanting to show off something like this, but there's nothing to apologize for. It's up to the company to decide what kind of an event it wants to have and what kind of a message it wants to send with that. I'm sure the dancers weren't strictly necessary, but I'm also sure they contributed to the event and provided some entertainment value. Whether that's what was intended or appropriate is another question.

Just for the record, I'd be OK with male dancers too. Of course their presence should be considered based on the expected audience. For example, if it's mainly a straight male audience, it might be a good idea to have female dancers but not male dancers. But if there's a significant portion of straight males and straight females, it doesn't sound like a terrible idea to have dancers of both sexes. (Or genders. I don't think either word is 100 % appropriate here.) And conversely, if there's mainly straight females, I don't see any issue in having male dancers only. Pardon my exclusion of sexual minorities and people with a non-binary gender, including them would have overly complicated an already overly complicated point. >_>



All they needed was LipeJJ in speedos. These men would have loved it.

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

lol at this. It makes devs feel unconfortable to see some dancers? Now who's stereotyping the nerd?



Why do we continue to bend over to SJWs? This is stupid.



While I can understand why some would be annoyed (I know i'd feel a tad uncomfortable in that situation), the manner and degree to which some are lashing out about it strikes me as a little silly. It seems less "unequivocally wrong" and more "a bit dumb".
