No Women at PS4 Reveal?

Chris Lohr: In spite of that satisfaction and the positive outlook for the PS4, Sony has become everyone’s least favorite company of all time. There were no female presenters on stage. Not one, ever. From what I’ve seen on Twitter and Kotaku (the only websites that matter for video game coverage), everyone is outraged. They should be. It’s blatant sexism on Sony’s part.

[Snookies12]

This is... Satire right?

[Gimmemorebubblez]

There were no con-joined twins either.
"Sony what's your problem"

[RememberThe357]

Seriously, and all those gun... So insensitive.

[Diver]

this is a duplicate story. an the dud from kotaku complained about no women then said he didn't notice till it was pointed out.

kotaku has hated Sony since the Home leak. I hope they all get fired.

[Mounce]

I was hoping for Siamese twins or better, Dwarfed prostitutes.

Sony, your event was completely disappointing.

[Grap]

when they use women they say they just want too show her body that's sexism. when you don't show women because there is no important women in this industry other than showing her breast. they say sexism. you can't satisfy these arrogant. if there were decent women in this industry who can give us something that's doesn't involve her body am sure sony will give her time at the stage.

Satire - The poorest attempt of comedy.

[Knight_Crawler]

Well to be fair Sony is a Japanese company and in Japan women are not treated equal to men in the business world.

I work for a big company in America where we deal with alot Japanese clients and the top Japanese CEO's from different companies refused to meet with our CEO here who was a woman.

Eventually we had to higher a male CEO because we were loosing business.

Sony has alot of Japanese investors and it would be an insult to them to have a woman on stage at such an important even.

[kreate]

Yea but thats In japan. This is america. I can assure u when I called sony america, a lady picked up.

[kreate]

They should go watch some pulse episodes.

[maniacmayhem]

This really disappointed me that there were no booth babes at the ps4 reveal. Major Fail!

[GribbleGrunger]

I LOVE this post. For the reason he posted it, not for the reason most of you would think. It's clever.

[Godchild1020]

Wasn't there a female announcer?

[theDECAY]

Everyone else = owned.

[Conzul]

Yeah, but she wasn't *shown*
heh heh

[Tuxmask55]

Why is this even an issue?

[BkaY]

coz they couldnt get anything else to pick on...

peace

[4logpc]

Such a dumb piece

[theDECAY]

It was a satire, man, er...woman. Damn, we are sexist.

[TheGameScouts]

Satire guys, satire!! :)

[Snookies12]

As I stated above, I don't think a lot of people even realized it was at first. There ARE idiots out there who actually would be mad about this stuff these days... So, at times it's hard to tell what is and what isn't... Lol

[TheGameScouts]

That's true....I suppose it's even funnier then if they take it seriously, right?! :) hahahahaha!!!

[BlmThug]

Society complains so much these days about the most little of things that sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's a genuine complaint or not

[DivineAssault]

Oh no! There were no females at the "playstation event" not E3, whats this world coming to?? smh this is ridiculous!

@ gamescouts, True

[TheGameScouts]

like I mentioned..it's a """SATIRE" """

[zoks310]

This was a great read. This word has gone mad.

[2pacalypsenow]

Who cares there were no black people or midgets either

[whoyouwit04]

actually there was a black guy there he was on the Bungie team, but you are right Who in the hell would even pay attention to something like that at a next gen console reveal what race or gender someone is was the last thing on my mind all I cared about were the games.

[Sarobi]

They were all in the kitchen -bah'dum'tssss-

[coolmast3r]

Who approves this?

[PS4isKing_82]

Ummm it's a mans world and women are just visitors? Lol child bearers? Sandwich makers?
They were probably busy on their periods and watching dr oz on how to lose those holiday pounds quickly and safely.

[ziratul]

They were in kitchen preparing FOOD for visitors :D

[GreenRanger]

There was no women 'cause they all went swimmin'.

[clintagious650]

Only a desperate journalist would write something like this lol. Go play with your hand if u have nuttin better to write lol.

[uuaschbaer]

Playstation PLUS social justice lol.

[Smashbro29]

I love this article. It's hilarious and pretty much how I feel every time I see a "Patty" article on Kotaku.

[rezzah]

lol that was funny. A good read.

[Dasteru]

Ofcourse there weren't any woman at the convention, the sale of humans is illegal in north america.

Besides, their hardware is far too customizable, cost of maintenance too high and they have break downs too often.

Not to mention the last time i stuck my GF in one of those pre-paid shipping boxes to be sent in for repairs the damn FBI was hounding me for months aferwards.

...then again the built in beer coasters and pez dispenser that everyone has been begging for since the PS2 is included.

[0pie]

ok... its a joke right?

[KillrateOmega]

This is satire. I mean, it has to be. Otherwise, it's simply too stupid to comprehend...

[StreetsofRage]

The women are waiting for the next xbox. We have soccer moms and Jessica Alba's. ;)

[tigertron]

Wow, is this really a genuine criticism of the PS4's unveiling?

[shikamaroooo]

The was a female on Media Molecules presentation, just saying.

[WooHooAlex]

There was a woman present during the Media Molecule tech demo, and I'm pretty sure there were multiple in their opening video.

Games like Dead or Alive are okay in the video game industry, but the second there isn't a woman onstage at a console unveiling, its sexist? Right...

[MasterCornholio]

OMG Sony is sexist

PS4= DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEE EEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD

/s

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

That's because they were all on the rag over at Kotaku.

[coolasj]

Whatever happened to Jade Raymond? Haven't seen her in a while, she was practically a celebrity.

[cleverusername]

No strippers either which is why I REFUSE to buy a PS4!!

[Root]

So I submit something like this and it's "lame", "off topic" or "other"

Yet this gets approved....what the hell

[ShaunCameron]

Why do women feel the need to invade all-male spaces? What? Men ain't allowed to have their own space anymore without someone crying "discrimination" every time he/she is denied?

This is just another case of one group whining because they didn't get invited, trying to start controversy where there wasn't one.

[TheHergulaX]

Oh my lord, this is not sexism, it is blatant bullshit from everybody saying that it is.

Whats funny is that if they had a press conference with just women and no men, no one would whine but it seems that due to feminism, everybody takes offense to something this minor.

I personally do not care either way, why yes it would have been nice to have a female presenter, It is not like it was a darn beauty pageant. It was about a certain product, in this case the PS4.

Also, everybody who took offense to this or felt like it was blatant sexism, need to relax, it is not a big deal.
