So far, I've come up with five amusing scenarios for how to end the "booth babe" practice (and particularly this repulsive part of it). I expect more to happen.

At some point in the future, no one should be surprised if a group of women dressed as Amazons invade a con and hurt the people who are committing "acts of lust". I know they signed up for the duty, and frankly, I can't imagine that they're that bothered by this idea yet (if they were, they would've QUIT) but as a legitimate, invested, female consumer of games and con products, I'm not interested in watching my whole gender be denigrated just because, without the promise of boobs, "men won't buy a product". I'm not going to be held to a standard of corporatisation that rewards men for refusing to grow the fuck up and quit trying to put their dicks in everything.
