Microsoft takes blame for 'dancing schoolgirls' at Xbox party

[Spectral]

You seem to have missed the point, some people are just uncomfortable with that, even being in perfectly functional and loving relationships. Your awful blanket dismissal of ANYONE who is uncomfortable with this being in a "terrible" relationship just shows your own perceptional ineptitude.

Lots of people are uncomfortable with lots of things. I don't think the discomfort of a small minority of people is a good reason to not do things. This party also including flashing lights, darkness, crowds, and loud music. I would wager some people were uncomfortable with that setting. Rather than insisting on changing the setting, I'd recommend that people who are uncomfortable remove themselves.

If you look at the video, the dancers don't look out of place in that setting at all. I don't think they're necessary by any means, but people throwing a shit fit and saying that it's disrespectful to women is very odd.

Yeah, that's what I meant about my post too; they see these patriarchy hating feminists everywhere just because the complaints could be twisted into that. But it could've been equally valid from a conservative christian point of view, thinking naked women is a sin etc. The fact that they brought up feminism and "SJW" says a lot about them.

Or, like in my case, being a gay horny dude who's jealous of the straight men and lesbians getting their eye candy.

Amen, brother

I'm not complaining about the dancers themselves, I'm complaining that someone thought it was a good idea to hire them at all, as seemingly most people are.

It sends a bad message and anyone thinking otherwise needs to get out of their school boy fantasy tent and grow a little. Marketing to the same demographic of 12-16 year old boys is getting tiresome in an age where all people are gaming more than ever. It shows a lack of understanding.

Yeah, as we all know, attractive women dancing in skimpy outfits becomes completely unappealing to guys when they turn 17 years old. This event would be completely unappealing by the time a man was 21, and actively repulse them at 25. Women are also widely known for disliking parties where other women are dancing.

Doesn't look school girl-ish to me. It looks adult woman dressing in a sexy parody of school girl-ish to me.

I'm married. So I guess that theory is out the window.

maybe you are I don't know. The point is relationships are different. What you think is right or wrong is between you and your partner. it's not up to you to tell someone else they can't be one way or another.

Women like to see men too /shrug where is my hot guy in a dancing booth... that's what i'm saying. Have you seen the men who work in tech.. it's no wonder they had to hire women lmao!

-Gag- no. Topless guys maybe with like a bow tie, but the moment I see a bulge and thrusting it's just so gag worthy.

I Just can't be okay with slutty men, maybe because I associate it with doucheyness

[Reeve]

It's because you don't have one.When you love someone maybe you'll understand. Men and women have insecurities. Don't act like it's only a female thing.
Becides, it's not totally about that but I do understand the point of view.

100% of the women I've been with have no problem with other women in skimpy outfits being around, or even me looking at them. I took my last girlfriend to a burlesque show just before Christmas and she loved it.

These kinds of parties happen all the time in many industries without dancers.

But wait, no, you're right, girls dressed in skimpy clothes dancing around should be at every party with low lights and music. Why not just have women burst out dancing whenever someone turns down the lights for a powerpoint presentation everywhere?

You mean like shaming Microsoft and the women that WANTED to do this?

[Cthulhu 2020]

I dunno, if being in a room where women are dancing creates a "problem" for your relationship, then it really does seem like there are underlying issues.

My wife will comment on something being absurd or ridiculous or stupid when it comes to this kind of thing, but it's never a "problem" for us. She never demands that I leave the room or stop playing the game, or whatever.

Likewise, if she wants to watch Magic Mike or whatever, then more power to her. If I have a problem with that, then it's my own damn problem to get over, not to burden her with it.

Are your reading skills lacking? Someone being uncomfortable with it on a personal level has nothing to do with the functionality of a relationship. I'm personally not uncomfortable with it even in a relationship but I know plenty of people who are, for their own reasons, and not because they think their wife will flip.

In the very post you're replying to:

Fuck it though, right?

How about we wrap them in burqas, so you don't have to taint your eyes with the sight of a woman's bare ankle?

Well maybe not you What about the gay men looking for some eye candy? the fair thing is to have both.

Sure. I got no problem with that either. If a place wants to have scantily clad men dancing, fine by me.

[Dequanacus]

So get a few dudes in skirts to go with the girls in skirts. What's the problem?

It was something of an imitation of your taking things to the nth degree posting style to ridicule people.

[flyspyro]

Microsoft is not a person.

Nah, I'm with that guy. I've never liked banana hammocks. Get some good accompanying shorts if going for the Chippendale look.

At this point you're just shitposting, since you apparently can't even read my opinion on the matter.

They'd still cry about female dancers (Wait, sorry. They've evolved into strippers, according the Shareef Batman). But, atleast then you'd get the hypocritical ignoring of the male dancers.
