I get what you're saying. I was just pointing out there are minor differences between the two.

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
The problem with EITHER way you word that, it is insulting to the video. While not everyone may take it that way, someone who worked hard on their video might "win" that and feel insulted. I feel like the "WTF did I just watch" seems a little less insulting and is a nicer way to word what you were trying to say with that category.drewaconclusion wrote:If it bothers you that much how about renaming it the " *facepalm* Award"?Warlike Swans wrote:"I Want My Life Back Award" Description sounds kind of derogatory. I don't like it.

Actually, now that I go back over the list of videos, there's two horror and three non-anime/LA/ponies.l33tmeatwad wrote:There is only ONE horror video and there are categories it could go in...such as Live Action or Non-Anime.

Though I don't know what to title it as just yet.

So, not enough for an entire category for horror, and "finalist by default" for the rest, good jobdrewaconclusion wrote:Actually, now that I go back over the list of videos, there's two horror and three non-anime/LA/ponies.

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
Well I wasn't volunteering a horror category. Like I said, I was just pointing out that there'd be a difference.

As for the other, it was just a quick suggestion. No need to get all in a huff over it.
