Especially now that we're several generations from the VHS days and videos with offensive content can be skipped at the discretion of the viewer.

Videos like Jus Talionis are different. the scenario was serious and not aphrodisiac aimed. I'm fine with an "R" rating, but not "X" or "NC-17".
sorry to be the prude of the group. you can blame it on religious reasons

Why not just add a suffix to the file name of each hentai video (such as [H]), that way, those who object to such material will have forewarning and can just avoid it? Seems like a simple enough solution to me to take care of both issues.Rider4Z wrote:Mr Pilkington wrote:I guess the question that should be asked, is there anyone vehemently opposed to having adult content in Pro?

I find this statement rather hilarious. Especially considering you've consistently entered videos that were very obviously premiered before AWA pro, nevermind the fact that they'd won multiple awards before AWA.

doesn't bother me, but wouldn't that ultimately skew the vote?

1) I wasn't really a supporter for exclusive videos for Pro on Masters years because I felt it would hurt either Pro or Masters (which it did).
2) I was never AGAINST exclusive for the contest, I just don't think it should be on years that Masters happens.
3) I was encouraged my first year participating to send my best and my understanding of Pro was that you bring your A game with a newer video and let your peers judge it, which is different than most conventions which is audience vote. I was excited to see what my peers thought of my work.
4) With Pro changed to exclusive, I would STILL rather Masters be separate and not an "addon" award in the pool of Pro videos (which kinda kills part of the challenge). To me, Masters is all about taking that gamble to be the one possible winner out of the pool of videos that could be anywhere from 2-9001 entries...choosing Masters over Pro for a new video is a gamble (when it comes to your chances for winning) and I think it makes it more fun.

It's been "strongly suggested" they be original but 2013 is going to be the first year it's exclusive. The whole trolling issue hasn't even come up until a couple of years ago because everybody else actually followed that suggestion.
2) But then on one side it means everyone will work harder trying to get that jacket. Plus 2 attempts to win it.
SailorDeath wrote:3) While it is encouraged to send your best, it's also encouraged to send something new as well. As for voting well I've had problems with voting ever since I found out that lots of friends would coordinate and then tend to vote for each other. But then there's no REAL way to prevent that from happening. I've never brought it up because, well what good would it do?
4) I agree on that to an extent, I did like the fact that masters was a different pool where you have 1 winner and x losers. At the same time, if I had 3 good videos and could only enter 1 into masters I'd have to gamble on which I thought would have the strongest chance to win and enter the other 2 to pro. This year I entered The circle of thug life to pro over Cat Herding because I thought it stood a better chance of getting nominated and boy was I wrong on that.
l33tmeatwad wrote:The fact that masters was kinda "absorbed" by Pro IMO is a way in which one of the two contests was "hurt" IMO. You also can't blanket statement saying "everyone will try harder"...you can't prove that...and the fact that everyone gets "2 chances" cheapens the challenge as well, thus HURTING it IMO.
l33tmeatwad wrote:You have your opinions and I have mine when it comes to Pro. You act as if your opinion on the matter is superior because you've perhaps participated longer. As it was said many times, it was never one way or the other, it's OUR contest and we had the option to work it however we wanted to with our voting privileges.
