So she picked a bunch of them up from the community, let's even say most of them. The point I was making is that the assertion out of nowhere that there's a "2%chance that there's actually a joke in there that she came up with..." is kind of senseless. The delivery of her jokes in the video was off-putting enough for me to not sit through it, better to focus on something that's actually visible than making hyperbolic assertions based on little to no evidence. Based on her profile on the maxim site itself(I can't be bothered to visit her YouTube channel and check out her other stuff) she does seem to fit the attention whore stereotype for gamer girls which this competition is sort of reinforcing. | ||

As far as I'm concerned, that's not a risk, that's an ideal happy ending.  Anyway, trolling is just about the only thing that justifies this contest getting so much attention. Even so, it's still somewhat depressing that threads like these make it to the top of a TL forum section (and a Starcraft 2 section at that). | ||

Entering the competition at all makes you fit the "attention whore stereotype for gamer girls." And yes, that includes Hot_Bid always trying to sneak into photos just so people see his face wearing low-cut tops in his interviews and shit | ||

Everytime she told a joke and then dropped her jaw I died a little bit inside. | ||

They're trying to rally (re-rally?) up a new demographic to sell their magazine. Thats all. And given that most of the contestants just seem to be models who incidentally own an Xbox, I think Hot_Bid is a way better candidate for gamer girl. If they put a girl who plays any video games, up there, is there a possibility of e-sport being promoted? Versus us basically trolling them they may pull the whole thing. I'm not saying this is the best promotional opportunity for e-sports, but it is one, and a fairly mainstream one at that. I think you can pick a girl who looks good and can represent esports. Such as Anna. | ||
