Real asian female gamers!

So yeah, most of you have seen pictures of booth babes at random gaming and anime conventions right? You in the corner saying no, you're a liar and you know it, that's what the internet's for.

Some of you may have actually gone to an event like E3 and seen these vixens in person.

Well, I don't want to burst your bubble, but those girls most likely don't go home alone to throw down in some single player Street Fighter or to play World of Warcraft until their fingers bleed. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. Here's the difference, it all started in high school, remember, when we'd go home and load up the newest Final Fantasy while the cheerleaders went out and had promiscuous unprotected sex with the football and/or basketball team? Well that's what's going on at the conventions. Like cheerleaders, those girls are being paid to look pretty, they stand on their pedestal and pretend to care until their shift ends at which point they pick up their check and blow it on heroine for their angry beast of a husband (see: not you).

Well Wired has recently done a really cool article about this phenomenon and even has tips to pick out real Otaku girls in a crowd.

It's kinda funny, but it makes alot of sense. Alas, no cute asian school girl for me.
