Babes of Gencon SoCal 2003

Now, don't go rolling your eyes. ArthurQ has a point. He had permission to take a photo. He didn't ahve permission to use that photo to make any old joke we pleased out of it. One of the reasons these photo albums are allowed is that they are done with a modicum of respect for those in the pictures.

If it was not on the other side of the country!

Good job and thank you, ArthurQ

Any review of the con? Details, how was the con, attendance, games, dealer room.

I agree with you, but I think the specific photoshop declares the woman (Jane?) to be attractive (as the stormtrooper has always wished to get kissed by her), which doesn't seem to me to be disrespectful. It makes a little fun of the trooper, whose face, and indeed full body, is hidden. So in this case, I'd say it's clearly humorous and not even personally offensive humor.

Furthermore, it's not so much photo manipulation as simply a caption put into the picture, something that happens in the photo album as well (only without changing the picture at hand).

However, it's probably best to set an example before really bad photoshops happen.

do we need to get a lawyer involved in this?

Erm, actually, I dont think the girls would appreciate photo manipulation like that. Jenny was really nice and good natured and I think it would be a better if you took that down d20dwarf. Just to be safe, i'd appreciate if ya did. Thanks.

Funny. Jenny looks like a woman to me, not a girl.

Not that this thread isn't inherently sexist despite all protestations to the contrary...
