Are you saying that she only got the job because she is pretty and not because she is good at it?

Is IGN objectifying women?

I know I should stop holding on to the "if I stop caring about something, that obviously means everyone else stopped caring about something" mindset, but I'm legit curious how they're still this popular? Especially in this age of alternative gaming sites and game channels.
No idea. I also thought gaming sites have been dying but looks like some are doing better than ever thanks to YouTube
Perhaps the creepiest thread I've seen in a while, not because of the subject of the thread but the whole analyzing of what she wears in her free time and others deciding for her what she shouldn't wear, yikes.
It's a recognizable format I think? Their stuff reminds me of a TV program which is easier to digest for most people, it's short, easily explained and to the point. The general (casual) gaming public might prefer that over some dude who's overanslyzing everything with some trailers/gameplay in the background and a cartoon version of himself all plastered over the video.
Oh yeah and they're a househould name in the industry, they've been doing this for years and have build up a fanbase.
This thread is bizarre.
Female sexualization is really an undisputable thing in all forms of media, television, advertisement, etc etc, especially in the world of video games culture. How is it that saying that IGN may indeed sexualizing their female anchor to entice people to consume their content and criticizing that all of a sudden construed as an attack towards the freedom of what women can wear? I mean, huh? What?

Sex sells, like it or not.
Edit: holy shit I just read the rest of this thread. Some of you guys are out of your minds. Really makes you second guess where some people are coming from when you get into debates on here with people claiming to be "progressive".

The Job of being a show host? Do you honestly believe how a person looks plays no part on whether or not they're hired to be a show host?
Looking forward to similar IGN thumnbails with their male journalists doing the same.
.This thread:
Please for the love of god lock this abomination. All discussions have fully run their course. Make it stop.
This is not specifically about her and it never was.
The question is about whether or not you believe IGN is using WOMEN'S sexuality as clickbait, and wether or not its wrong if they do.
Yeah, it can, but guess what, sometimes subjectively "good-looking people" can also be educated, trained and be good candidates for the job they get given, based on merit and personality. What's the world supposed to do, lock all subjectively "good-looking people" in a cupboard and keep them away from the eyes of society? Even if they genuinely have a good education and experience for a job?
She used to work with Buzzfeed, so has experience in the media industry, and has a degree from Uni according to linkedin. So, you know, maybe don't use this person as your example of whatever the fuck you are trying.
As I've satirized a few times now, this is becoming like an incel thread. Hey there woman, did anyone tell you, you might only have this job because you workout and inherited some genes from your parents that gave you certain sized assets or taller than average height? Us guys know how to spot these things. Maybe stick to loose fitting clothing if your breasts are a certain size. Thanks!
This thread seems to have long-deviated from productive discussion and is closed to further replies.
