Model/Gamer Tara Babcock: Western Feminists Can Shove It and Yeah, I'm Sexual

I'm not going to start with the overused and cliched "don't judge a book by its cover." Yeah, we all know: #dontjudgeabook

I'm not going to be all self-righteous and lecturing and say, "Hey, look up from the tits; there's a brain in that head."

I don't need to explain that she's as big a gamer as any dude out there, that she started on the SNES, that her favorite game series of all time is God of War, that she loves JRPGs (gamers know exactly what that is), and that she and I could probably blather on about our favorite games and memories like two old friends with that singular common thread.

Model/Gamer Tara Babcock: Western Feminists Can Shove It and Yeah, I'm Sexual

No, I don't need to do any of that because model, die-hard gamer, and popular YouTuber and Twitcher Tara Babcock speaks for herself. I don't need to offer our readers introduction, clarification, or disclaimer because Tara, much like Mia Rose, is intrinsically incapable of pulling punches. She hides nothing, tells you what she thinks and if you don't like it, she'll just shrug and move on with her life. Her response to finding out guys masturbate to her vids? A blend of flattery and amusement, without a trace of offense (see it in her "okay to fap" video below). Piss her off, try to use her? A simple GTFO is her response. A true friend? She might lie down in traffic for you. Want to hear some of the most candid, passionate thoughts on some tough subjects? Check out her awesome Vlogs.

But damnit, I'm doing what I said I wouldn't do. So, without further gilding the lily...simply Tara.

Model/Gamer Tara Babcock: Western Feminists Can Shove It and Yeah, I'm Sexual

GaG: Let’s start by clearing things up: What is the #1 false assumption people make about you?

Tara: “Probably that I’m into gaming and YouTubing to get money. That’s definitely #1 but I have no idea why. I think people are under the false assumption that I’m just an attractive girl who games and that’s enough to make a lot of money. But the people who get the most amount for their streaming are still male, and even if you’re pulling in a bunch of viewers all the time, your revenue is such shit unless you’ve got some backing. Most of the money I make is off subscriptions and donations to my Twitch and things like that. I really don’t know why people think I make a ton with all this stuff.”

GaG: What’s your reaction to the term “titty gamer” or “titty streamer?”

Tara: “I really have no idea what that is. Well, I have tits and I game so I guess that’s me…? Obviously, there’s some sort of weird negative connotation behind that, like you have to be some kind of disingenuous person who doesn’t know shit about gaming. I don’t know, a lot of the phrases people come up with are just beyond me; there’s a lot of stupidity out there. The random person behind the computer screen can say and do whatever they want and yeah, that’s when the stupid crap comes out.”


GaG: Obviously, you love video games. What are some of your favorite early memories?

Tara: “The game that really inspired me to play every single day and be someone who is a lifelong gamer was ‘Super Mario Bros. 3’ on my NES. It came out when I was really, really young; I was actually too young to have the system when it came out, but my parents had an Atari and the 8-bit NES so I started playing consoles early. And I’m really glad I did because today’s children are just being exposed to the worst games, I think. I feel they need to be exposed to the early games so they can appreciate them, and also so they can see how far the industry has come.

Then a lot of gaming in my teens involved playing ‘Mario Party’ on N64 with my friends. I had like 13 guy friends at my house at any given time and really, this is one of my best memories.”

GaG: Many girls still complain of suffering abuse when playing games online. Have you experienced this?

Tara: “I feel like I experience the same amount of abuse as anyone else experiences.

As somone in the spotlight, I'm saying it's okay for people to make an opinion about me--

--and when it’s an online game, some anonymous gamer is going to flame. I mean, people are just going to flame; that’s the way things are online, especially if it’s something like CoD (‘Call of Duty’). They find that one thing to pick on, like if you’re a gay guy or a girl or whatever, and then they base their insults on that and off they go. If all they know about is that you’re a girl, they’re going to make fun of you for being a girl.

And it’s not about being misogynistic. A guy will call another guy a faggot and crap like that but it doesn’t mean he hates you. They don’t know anything about you; have no idea if you suck at the game or anything else. They’re just trying to get your goat and you know, that’s the online dichotomy. You can’t change it.”


GaG: We spoke to Mia Rose about porn; she thinks it really screws up people’s expectations and perceptions of sex. What do you think?

Tara: “Yeah, I think it does mess with people’s expectations. But I also believe it isn’t porn’s responsibility to teach people about sex. I actually made a video about this before, about parents raising you with morals and expectations, and if they try to censor everything. I don’t think they should censor things at all, so that way it would be common sense to people when they grow up that things are different in porn. If they’re exposed early, they’d know it’s not real, like action movies and superheroes. I feel like kids are just thrown out into the world with no actual facts, so blaming porn for being bad in bed or being screwed up socially is like blaming Marilyn Manson for school shootings."

If someone ever says they committed a crime because of some media they saw or experienced, they were already screwed up and anything could’ve pushed them over the edge.

GaG: You mentioned an interest in Psychology; which aspects of the science are you interested in?

Tara: “Oh, behaviorism, sociology, all types of psychology. I love to read about all these things and I’ve recently been reading about how dreams affect the mind. I sometimes sit on the computer and five hours would pass because I’d be so involved with a certain topic, or maybe I was reading about certain philosophers. I’m also really interested in the psychology of serial killers and I always thought I’d like to do that for a job. Yeah, I wanted to be a criminal psychologist, but then I found out it’s not always about tracking down serial killers, and that there’s a lot of boring and trivial stuff I wouldn’t be interested in.”


GaG: In your view, what’s the dating scene like these days? Is it actually harder for you given your celebrity?

Tara: “I have a really weird way of handling my love life. I don’t date. I don’t do the normal monogamous relationship; in fact, I don’t put a label on anything I do. I don’t go out for coffee or stuff like that; I don’t have time for it and I’m not interested in it. When I meet someone I’m pretty straightforward, just like, ‘do you want to fuck or not?’ I feel like the dating scene has so much bullshit in it, and that people are always trying to get into my friend circle because it makes them feel cooler or something. Because of that, I don’t allow many people into that circle and I’m kind of guarded on that score.

But I will say that I think women definitely have it easier in the dating scene in general, and I have it even easier because most people wouldn’t say ‘no’ to me. I guess my pull on the Internet gives me more gumption.”

Model/Gamer Tara Babcock: Western Feminists Can Shove It and Yeah, I'm Sexual

GaG: When you say guarded…?

Tara: “I’ve always been that way; it’s just kind of my personality. I feel I can break off from any relationship whenever I want. And I don’t mean in a heartless way; I don’t ever sleep with anyone to get anywhere or befriend someone who I could collaborate with. I basically just find it really hard to meet people who I feel are intelligent enough to even be around. I guess I also think I’m desensitized, in that I can’t relate to other people very easily, and often I have these deal-breakers or little triggers. Like they do something to me and that’s it, I’m done with them.

However, I’m extremely loyal if I think someone really does belong in my circle. I won’t say there was any trauma when I was growing up; I think I just get easily bored when I’m around other people. I also don’t like drama; a lot of girls my age doing the modeling or gaming thing seem to thrive on it and I just hate it.”

GaG: We know you have strong views on women in gaming and feminism in general. Care to elaborate?


Tara: “You know, I play Magic the Gathering and in that community, it’s all about being more feminist than anything. You can’t make jokes about being a girl, you can’t even mention that someone is a girl. This is just ridiculous to me.

Western #feminism isn’t even necessary; it’s just this cult that hates men. I think we should be truly egalitarian instead of making up a word that basically says we’re not equal, when we should want to be equal. Western feminists don’t care about equal rights, and they don’t know how bad women have it in other countries.

Here…women have it so fucking easy. I can’t get over how easy women have it, especially knowing how oppressed women are in other parts of the world. Everyone around here has to walk on eggshells around women and it’s just stupid. And for gaming, you see women enter this previously male-dominated hobby and immediately say, ‘okay, you can’t say this,’ ‘you can’t do this,’ ‘you can’t act like this,’ etc. They come in and say you have to change everything just to appease their weird sense of ‘feminism.’

And what’s wrong with the women in games being fantastical?! Why can’t we have big bouncing tits in our entertainment? I’m not offended and I wouldn’t be offended if I played as a girl who looked different than me. Who cares? Men want to see tits and they’re genetically programmed for that; so what? How is that offensive? I really hate the changes they’re making in games, actually; it’s so illogical and it proves that there is a difference between male and female mannerisms. Women take it as a personal attack when they see something like this, and women feel like they’re always up against some kind of adversary. Why do they get to dictate what sort of media men can enjoy?

Stop trying to make every female protagonist this genderless asexual creature!”


GaG: What are your long-term goals? Do you think you’ll keep doing what you’re doing?

Tara: “I really hope I can keep it up. I think I’ve finally found what I want to do in my life. My Twitch stream has been up and down and it’s not currently at its peak, but my YouTube channel is doing well. Still, I’m a fledgling at all of this and there’s a long way to go. I’m just happy that I found this; I get to be my own boss, which is great. I hate traveling, which is something I really despised about modeling, and I also hated having to schmooze people I don’t have anything in common with.

I wish I could make more time in my schedule but I just don’t know what to cut. My everyday streaming takes up almost all my time. There’s just never enough time to do things I’m passionate about, like modeling shoots. It’s not just that they pay well; it’s also sexual and communicative and I really like gaming-related sexiness, too."

Yes, I’m a really sexual person and I love games, and that’s my hook. I also have a personality that makes for interesting commentary so I’m going to use that. I can’t imagine doing anything else and honestly, I think I’ve found my niche.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • I found her really off putting. Not because she's sexual or she's a gamer or any of that. But because she seems all around fake and artificial. Her entire identity seems to be built around being an ideal fucktoy for shallow, nerdy guys. She doesn't seem to have any pieces of herself let.

    And I don't think MOST (at least not the substantial ones) think that's attractive.. her pornstar appearance or her personality. Whats sexy is being confident, intelligent, unique and having your own set of ideas without deferring to what you think is going to make you seem like "the perfect girl" to men.

    • I am being myself, whether you'd like to believe it or not. I don't try to do anything to appeal to anyone but myself. Your whole "sexy, confident, intelligent, unique" is exactly what I am and what I strive to be, for myself, and your being blinded by a look or morals you are offended by makes you twice as shallow as I could ever be. You are clearly judging me based on how you believe people who look like me MUST be, instead of who I actually am, or why.

    • @TaraBabcAWEck you have to do what you have to do but when you put yourself out there on a platform like this criticism comes with the territory. I'm actually a camgirl so what I say has NOTHING to do with outdated moral ideas. It's principles. It's about feeling empowered as a woman to live life on your terms. To be the person YOU want to be not to define yourself by mens standards. If you feel like you're doing that then okay... but it doesn't cone across that way to me watching your videos

    • ... Honestly. this makes me wanna /slap. Did you even read the damn article? And if you are a cam girl, how can you call someone fake? Holy shit.

  • ... and this enriches our lives, how exactly?

  • She's hot, much support! <3

    • <3 Thank you!

  • You are typical of this generation. Drop pants and 'lets fucccccccck'.

    At least your better looking than mario bros!!

    • Pardon me but where are these women you speak of? I've yet to meet a women who said anything remotely like that to me or anyone else I know... Tara is the first person I've ever heard claim to practice that kind of behavior

    • I'm sorry, what?

    What's with this fad gamer chicks eh? So she plays games in her panties, Good for her.

    • P. S
      I'd prefer #AngryJoe over her any day
      https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aorKjw71ckQ

    • Oh you'd prefer Angry Joe? What exactly of mine have you watched to form that opinion? The first 2 seconds of something, or less, even? I play video games in shorts, not panties. Unless I'm on the couch, then maybe. I don't know how that fact could detract. If more men were attractive enough to pull off playing in muscle tees and boxers, that would be nothing but a plus to me. Especially if the love for gaming was still vehemently apparent, as it is with my content, if you can turn off your bigotry a moment and get past the boobs.

    • @TaraBabcAWEck now lady, I didn't talk about your boobs at all. Just the general presentation of gaming chicks. Look at Jessica Chobot. Or any other gaming 'babe' out there.

  • I love that girl, holy shit.

    • Love you too, babe!

  • I feel there's a balance to be achieved.

    Women don't need to hide or be assexual to be respected, but I also don't think it's interesting for women to rely on sexuality that way.

    As a guy, I obviously don't mind looking at a beautiful woman, but there are other things that grab my attention a lot more than that. Probably because I'm not a horny teenager anymore. Who knows...

    Anyway, this is a healthy discussion. But what we need is equality and balance. ;)

  • Another fake, attention seeking, whore. Just what the Internet needed.

  • I like this woman. What a pity that she appears to be in a tiny minority of women.
    I walked about about age 30. Feminism and divorce law have made women too toxic for involvement with them to be a rational act.

  • She's really hot
    Probably not really into gaming, just trying to build a following with all those porn addicted nerds lol

  • Honestly I don't understand why every single person on this site is obsessed with the feminism. Who cares? Just ignore it and go along with your life Jesus Christ

    • While I get your point, it's kind of hard to just ignore when they literally influence laws and politics They're not just infecting the internet with their cancerous bullshit. They've taken to the streets and try to change everything in the name of all women Kind of hard to ignore

    • @Kylesar how is it hard to ignore on the freaking Internet? Everyone on GAG is always angry about 'Western Feminists'. Just fucking stop talking about it!! The laws are fucking fine just obey them

    • Sounds a lot like "man up and take it." Accept the fact that if you get divorced, you're losing the house, car, money, and worse, the kids (No Fault Divorce, Child Custody, Alimony & Divorce Laws) Accept the fact that in the future, a woman may take your job for the simple fact that she's a woman, not that she's more qualified (Gender Quotas) Accept the fact that, at her word, you'll lose your freedom and your social life, whether or not it's the truth (False Rape accusations) Accept the fact that feminists want to infiltrate geek culture with the SOLE intent of changing it. Accept the fact that Swedish Feminists want to ban urinals and make it illegal to stand up to pee Accept the fact that they want to censor speech to protect their feelings Accept the fact that simply saying hey is sexual harassment But of course, as a female, you're reaping the benefits, so you don't see the problem

  • I might need to check her stream out. My favorite stream is small but good, love catching new streams. Would be cool to catch her playing old games.

  • Same thing that I told Mia rose, a girl can be a gamer and still be a porn star or fap model, but a gamer guy is like night of the living dead to women.

  • She's hot and I agree with her views on life but she swears like a sailor and that puts me off.
    I'm fucking tired of hearing people cuss all the time, it's like they have a limited vocabulary.

    • Swearing is not actually a sign of a limited vocabulary, as many people have said to deter swearing. It's an expression of freedom and passion, in my opinion. I enjoy swearing, and I enjoy listening to people swear. It's your prerogative if you don't like it, but you can't label all those who choose to swear as having "limited vocabularies" and remain accurate.

    • @TaraBabcAWEck Excessive swearing shows a type of juvenile behaviour and an inability to speak without resorting to those go to words. The English language is rich with words that can express passion. I try to limit my swearing to when I'm pissed otherwise it becomes overused and presents me as an uneducated individual who doesn't know how to behave properly in public.

  • I have only looked at the pictures and not read the article at all. Does that make me a bad person?

    • It makes you a less informed person who is missing out. ;)

  • Okay so i decided to come out of hibernation temporarily so i could comment on this because i think its hilarious.

    Okay so first off, i can't really say im surprised by the responses here. The women hate her by and large because they feel threatened by her for one reason or another (probably because of the level of effortless attention she's able to get), and the guys by and large like her because she's hot and anti-feminist. No matter how long i leave this site for, GaGers never fail to disappoint, hahaha.

    Now as a young nigglet who got into gaming at an early age, im pretty good at sniffing out people who aren't real gamers but pretend to be for attention. I don't really get that sense from her. It's pretty clear though that she uses her sex appeal to get more clicks. Most of the thumbnails she uses on her videos has her and her breasts in clear view, even though she has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Thing is though, i don't really see this as a problem... especially considering that she doesn't care about being objectified or w/e else that may come her way for doing so. My pet peeve has always been girls who do that shit, but are like "oh golly gee willickers... why are all these guys sending me pervy messages? Sexism!!! " If you own it and your choices, more power to you. Besides, its really the men's fault for being so easily pulled. I mean really guys, is pornhub not good enough?

    Now onto the content. I've read all the opinions and i must say i disagree with most girls opinions here. Too much hypersensitivity over fairly logical viewpoints in my opinion. Her opinion on sexism in gaming is pretty sensible. Video game companies cater to their audience. If the free market doesn't want ass and titties, they won't buy the games. We aren't talking about workplace harassment here. if we were, we'd have a completely different conversation. But we're talking about peoples entertainment here. You can get served whatever you desire when it comes to entertainment. Doesn't really matter if its not logical to have a girl in skimpy armour. Videos games aren't logical. If they were, i reckon most of them wouldn't be fun to play. Video games are fantasy for the most part.

    Now with all that being said, i wouldn't subscribe to her on youtube, mainly because her content doesn't strike me as all that unique. It's not bad, just not unique. She's hot yeah, and seems fun, so id date her in my private life, but not hot enough for me to sub. No woman is.

    • My breasts are always in full-view. That's part of who I am. Perfecting my appearance is one of my other hobbies, and it's something I care about. Hiding myself for false respect from people who know nothing about me is futile, and would disrespect my body and who I am. I don't do anything I don't enjoy for "clicks." My thumbnails aren't more boob-ified than what you get from me when you click. I love dressing sexy and comfortable, genuinely. Who wouldn't? Other than that, I appreciate your comment, and I agree with many of your well-written viewpoints. :)

    • @TaraBabcAWEck well as i said, i really don't see it as an issue either way. I've always had the belief that one should use whatever cards they've got, as long as they aren't crushing other people to get to the top, or being false about it. The market will judge whether you are worth subscribing to or not... not me or anyone else here. I have a question for you though. In the article, you alluded to how difficult it was for you to make genuine friends because most guys try to get into your orbit for sex. My question is, how often are guys who are interested in dating you are actually up front about it from the get go, and what is your reaction to a guy who is honest about why he's approaching you?

    • I ask because one of my role models is total ladies man, and from what he tells me, very attractive women like yourself are actually more alone than people think because girls are threatened by them automatically (evidenced here to a large degree for me) and guys assume they are taken/have tons of guys into them already/have no chance.

  • Oh Tara. In my dreams we're both playing Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 and Tara discusses her bisexual fantasies about the girls.
    Yeah the western feminists can shove it for getting sexy games cancelled in the US.

  • The responses here are wholly predictable

    A girl who proclaims to be a gamer, who is hot with big tits. The cries of attention-whore are wholly expected

    I guess the problem is that you actively proclaim to be a gamer, and gamers don't have to go public with it, so the fact that you tell people makes them believe that you're fake

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're genuine, and to that I say fuck the haters in this comment section (and everywhere else) and keep doing what you do

    Otherwise, if you ARE an attention-whore, go fuck yourself in the ass with a cactus. We don't need anymore attention-whores in the gaming industry. We have enough to deal with, with gamergate

    • I totally agree with you. Can't stand the people you talk about in the last paragraph. But yes, please do give her the benefit of the doubt. We chatted about everything from JRPGs from the '90s we both loved (no attention-whore lists the Shin Megami Tensei games as favorites) to last year's Assassin's Creed Syndicate. :)

    • I'm not just a model "claiming" that I game for attention. I am someone speaking out as a gamer for gamers, and promoting my gaming content, which is plentiful. You might come into this seeing my images and not actually understanding why I speak as a gamer, but if you take a look at my Twitch or YouTube on the gaming side, you wouldn't have doubts. Also, I don't mine attention whores in gaming, honestly. If a niche has become popular enough that people want to pretend to like it, that means it's becoming more mainstream. Less people will be bullied for liking games, more people will be into games. Obviously that means people will "only be in it for the money" and finimists will try to change things about it, but I am glad, as someone who loves games, that my favorite franchises will get funding, and my favorite hobby will get attention from a wider audience, as I believe it deserves greatly.
