If you have an issue with a free piece of content don't consume it. No one is forcing you to watch and there won't be news segments on CNN or FOX denouncing eSports because a model is involved.
Shameless self promotion: Tune in to StarCast tonight to see our interview with Tara. She is a real gamer who also happens to be a model. She's completely in her right to be proud of what she does.
Keep on rocking Tara.
Tonight's show is gunna rock! Thanks for the support, you guys are awesome!
I hope society will realize eventually that oversexualization is just nothing wrong, except to kids. It's just the mentality of the moment. I don't think there's a single solid argument for saying it's wrong much, it's a matter of perception. It just doesn't relate that much to gender equality IMO. If it becomes accepted, we'll just feel more free.
Was curious what all the fuss was about. Much like women in physics, we need more women playing games. Unfortunately this crap seems to happen a lot when men are intimidated by women on the internet.
Will watch your stream if I ever happen to be around when you stream. Have fun!

Unfortunately Lindsey Sporrer (another aspiring model/actress) set a bad precedence when she basically feigned enthusiasm for SC and her desire to start/learn to play the game solely for the sake of her NASL gig. It was somewhat disappointing when people found out it was all an act.
All I can say is I hope you aren't just using TL for exposure and self-promotion. If you really are a fan of this game then I say welcome
I just want to say really fast that I can tell you, for fact, Tara actually loves video gaming. She is not a fake - She isn't doing this for any gig. She is doing this simply cause she loves gaming. She says she wants to get her fans from her modeling to enjoy video games as much as her, so she started streaming. I support her. She is an absolute sweet heart. I would highly suggest that any of you that wish to judge her, at least take the time to get to know her first - Before even thinking of making a judgement.
To Tara: Keep it up chika. You are awesome and you know it <3

I came in here with the preconception that this is just "yay popularity farming"
Kinda disappointed that it's not.
Or I'm too jaded.
Hopefully this can be the start of something beautiful.
Is "Tara Babcock The Supermodel" the full screen name? I thought, a supermodel is a model which is widely known by the public for getting highest payments.
I watched some Vids on Youtube, the production value is quite good.

Thank you for the public support, Love! It means a lot coming from a fellow gamer girl, AND the main pretty lady of GoSc!
When I first saw the reddit post I thought "So heres another hot chick that wants to milk lonely nerds for views/exposure." But after actually having watched a bit and read every post in this thread... I feel pretty ashamed that THAT was the first thing that came to mind. I'd like to believe its the internet that made me this cynical Pretty awesome, unique stream. Hope you dont give up on sc2!

I have to somewhat mirror your sentiments. I'll admit that the first time I saw the stream thread I wasn't exactly 100% on it, but the way she's conducted herself so far in the stream thread legitimizes it by a lot for me.
She looks like barbie rofl. but sc2 + cleavage can't be a bad mix and more girl gamers is awesome sad the stream times are completely horrible in my time zone :|
ZOMG! My 1st EVER scheduled stream episode is coming in 3 hours! Stay tuned and come support, please! It'll be here at 9pm PST: http://www.twitch.tv/tarababcock
