Hahah, don't take those seriously, Code - Pro is about fun mostly anyways, most of these aren't "Pro" in a sense we usually consider that word ;D

I enjoyed your vid ;x

Oh no, it's not about any reviews of my videos, it's because I had the mistake of watching the more "mature" videos, since I have to rate them anyway for the contest and now I've lost any hopes of unseeing them. xD That's... Not my cup of tea.

especially any comments by godix, that guy hates everyone, including himself.

Hearing vuvuzelas will never be the same.

Hahahah, you have to be prepared for that, yeah XD

But second year is always easier, this year is actually fairly weak compared to the last one (but has more H videos, iirc)

I didn't watch them. They're clearly marked as H on the files, so they can be avoided. (people entering with content like that have to be prepared for people potentially not watching them *shrugs*)

Looks like my video isn't doing too well...

Being honest, the influx of live action videos is quite nice. 2008's Pro Contest had only one live action entry (to Jackie Chan's Police Story), but since then there's a huge flood of them. The only field left that needs some entries is in original animation work (of which there was only one video in this contest). It'll be interesting to see if that starts picking up next year.

Oh yeah, that's one thing I did like about this con was the nice lineup of live action videos.

TBH, this statement really just urks me. Are you saying that people who enter a Live Action video or people who enter a drama video should also be prepared for their videos not to be watched simply because others who entered the contest don't like that kind of content? Because despite this being about H content, that same argument can be used for any other kind of video that was entered in this contest. The mentality that you can just 'skip' a video purely based on it's content is not in any way fair to the creator who entered the video, or any other entrant in the contest. As a judge (and anyone who enters this contest is one) you are suppose to be unbiased and judge all videos based on their own merits, even if you don't like it. Isn't that the purpose of this contest? You enter with the mindset that your entry will be judged by a group of your peers. I remember seeing very similar comments about the H vids in previous years, and last year there wasn't even enough votes for the H vids for an award despite there being enough entries and Haunter's entry being more then good enough to deserve one. (my video was in the contest purely for shock value, his had a well thought out, edited, and funny story) Sure, maybe no one else thought the same way as I do, but perhaps too many people just skipped the H vids all together?

And to be more on topic with the H content in the contest. You have to sign a waver stating that you are old enough to view said content (or have permission to) when you enter. That to me is also your statement that you will watch said content. After all, if you are not going to watch that content, why do you need to sign such a form? People who enter this contest should know that kind of content is going to be there and be prepared to have to watch and judge it.
