I just object to the 'having your cake and eating it too' situation women expect - and get - today. It's hypocritical.
I don't see Alanah complaining about being sexualised for the dress she is wearing. And I don't see why human beings can't want to be appreciated sexually in some contexts but not in others.

Nah that's the simps who drool over women like this.

If a man did what she does, he would be roundly ridiculed and would have no credibility at all. But when a woman does it... it's acceptable because... why? You're saying that women are sex objects. Now I'm happy to see and treat women like that, if that's what they want, but they can't simultaneously be respected as my equal because they've chosen not to be. They've chosen to sexualise themselves first and foremost.

Imagine if Phil Spencer dressed to show loads of flesh, or Richard from Digital Foundry. Instead of talking about Xbox or frame rates, we'd be talking about their bodies. Wouldn't that be dumb?

Anyway, of course men cannot do this because it doesn't work if we do it, it's a power only women have. They learn this power at a young age and then use it all their lives (or until it no longer works some time in their 30s / 40s).

I don't know, but this came to mind XD

Women do get to have their cake and eat it, with men.

But I guarantee that most women she meets will bitch and whinge about her behind her back. They will *despise* her for the advantages her looks have given her.

Every woman outside the venue screaming about patriarchy looks like the Big Show. They claim to be angry with the system, but what they’re really angry about is that they don’t have access to the currency the system uses to exchange value. And that’s why it’s so phony when Hollywood hotties moan about the system. They’re holding straight aces and pretend they want to fold for a pair of sevens.

The battle of the sexes has never, ever, *ever* been about men vs women. It’s men vs men and women vs women.

Men are just more honest about it.

GAF complaining about women? I thought bitching on oversexualization was on REEE.

You guys haven’t watched the Oscars, right?Allanah is looking like a nun compared to some outfits there.
 
> Is a thread about Alanah Pearce hosting GDC
> Almost all discussion ends up fetishizing her body parts.

Ahh, just another thursday.

I'll never know GAF's obsession with this woman, at whatever she does and downplaying her abilities to just her SMV and the rabid conspiracy theories that follow.
leave the 16 years olds ALONE.
 
I am going to say something. Hopefully I won’t get banned. This is not stereotyping, sexualizing.

I think Alanah is a multi talented person. It is impressive how many things she is able to do. I realize the dress is probably about extending “her brand”. Which seems like what the world is about these days. As long as it makes money. Especially in these inflation driven times. Even if she is a millionaire, she is feeling the inflation.

Anyway, a plastic surgeon i was drinking with told me, men & women benefit from plastic surgery because it helps them in how they view themselves and may help if she suffers from any medical ailments. (I belive she does, btw).

Anyway, the surgeon told me years ago. ”any of us can look like a Ken doll or Barbie, for the price of a Porsche”. “It is up to us to determine which one we get more miles out of.” “The upkeep is completely on us after the fact, and most people don’t do what is required for the upkeep”. “Which is why plastic surgeons make as much as they do”.

Alanah strikes me as a smart person, and doesn’t probably crave the attention like these posters are saying. I think she is trying to expand her “brand”. Again, you can not complain about people trying to get more money!

Every company is doing it, millionaire, even video game companies with layoffs, cancellations, delays and price increases.

What the fuck has she done to deserve that?

If it's about tits this is pretty common on men talk. Asses, boobs, you name it we all talk this normally(way too common on work as well).
Now if you talk about her personallity I just find her boring...there are alot of better women that are more entertaiment to watch. Strangelly most of them I find to not be related to games at all. And let's be honest, the milf likes to show her assets. Not gonna complain if she likes to show them.

Most people want to look good despite denying it, she looks good and feels good so she wants to wear something that shows it.

The ones complaining probably don't have the same self confidence.

If only there was some middle ground between exposing your bits provocatively versus women being completely covered up from head to toe and having no rights at all? You seem to think I'm advocating for the latter which obviously I'm not.

Dont get the hate for her. She looks fantastic and has a brain, which I guess is terrifying to some.

I hope she knocks it out of the park.
People have lost their minds all over. You have one side that is leading jihad over women being sexualized or oversexualized in games. Then you have you the other side who thinks women in real life shouldnt be allowed to put make up on and look good.

I understand the onlyfans hate. I dont understand this. She's not on onlyfans. She's not a whore. She has a real job on top of being a youtuber unlike most male youtubers who quit their jobs and do youtube for a living. She is holding an industry event for an industry she covers on youtube and is part as a game developer. It's not like we hired Mia Malkova to give out GDC awards. She knows she needs to look presentable as a presenter, and there is nothing wrong with showing a bit of cleavage. And there is nothing wrong with admiring a woman for looking stunning. People have lost their damn minds. Saying a hot woman is hot doesnt make you a simp. It makes you a man.

There is nothing wrong with showing cleavage. She's at a glamorous award show. It would be abnormal if she did NOT show any cleavage.

There's always people who hate good looking people. No different than people not liking others who have money, a nice home or job.

Hey, if someone has the looks flaunt it. No need to be jealous or a hater.

Is Alanah Pearce one of those woke-ish gamergate kinds of game industry people?

Or does she love dolling it up not giving a shit? Just wondering as her pics are nice and slutty there. So I'm guessing she loves it.

This is a weird way to talk about a woman in a very nice-looking dress. Anything you want to tell us StreetsofBeige StreetsofBeige ? Just feels like a weird thing to hear from a man that likes women.

The host should dress appropriately, instead she has dressed like a street hooker and made everything about herself, which detracts from the subject matter. Of course, this is her M.O. Leveraging her (questionable) sex appeal to nerds.

Now I'm starting to understand why 40% or so of men are virgins after the age of 30. I didn't know the men here were so scared of actual women. Yet, want them to dress in less clothes to fight monsters in games. :messenger_confused:

This sort of shaming language from men towards men is cringeworthy and has major boomer energy. Criticise my sweet fair maiden? Must be an incel misogynist virgin... cringe.

It's only cringe-worthy if you as a man seek the approval of other men.........more than you do women (I'm obviously talking about straight men only here). You can't on one hand cry on video game forums when devs uglify women an ask for your female characters to look like Tifa, but then turn a cold shoulder to this clearly great looking women in a banging dress.

She's real for goodness sake LOL!!!

Dress is beyond a typical dress you see at a dinner gala or family wedding. But I'm all for it.

This dress is literally the type of dress you'd see at a dinner gala on a woman who's looking to kill the competition and look insanely good. If you want to make a statement, this dress is it! But slutty? What we doing bro? I'm glad you said you all for it, because I was starting to wonder about you lol.

There’s nothing wrong with talking about those titties and I’m glad she’s embracing that. Personally I think she should have done it topless.
That reminds me of funny exchange between a news reporter and a female athlete to discuss very short sport outfits.
The answer was:
“If women could run naked they would”.

It’s clear that a lot of you have never interacted with a woman. She may be annoying but at least she’s a gamer and worked/works? In the industry. Could be some talking head

The only thing I care from GDC is listening to Nintendo devs on how they were able to create the ultra hand system and how they made it play nice with what they had on a fucking 2008 Android Phone.

Who would have thought that the "thirsty posts" would be the least cringey part of a thread. My god.

. . .and attractiveness aside, Pearce has ALWAYS come across as incredibly level headed and not at all pandering; the fact that she was able to slot in - fairly well if you ask me - with the jokers over at Funhaus is just more proof of this.

Her career trajectory goes something like this

IGN news girl > social media influencer > Sony Santa Monica writer > GDC eye candy
Is she still a writer there? I guess I haven't seen anything IGN related in so long I don't know whose still there.
