"I kid you not" in the title could definitely be seen as demeaning. Sure it seems more likely for the guy to win, but it's not as if it's unfathomable for the woman to win. "I kid you not" would be more suited to trail a title like "Man summons fire from fingertips".
Nobody should be that amazed by this unless they think women are completely and drastically inferior.
So as not to crowd the video with unrelated posts, I figured I'd take our discussion to profiles.
If the meaning of upvote and downvote were to be defined by the FAQ, I'd gladly comply; I'm all for working in a system. But, as it stands, it's left up to each of us to interpret them for ourselves.
I try to vote on every video I watch. Only if I really just don't know what to make of a video do I not vote, or if I feel somehow conflicted about it.
If I find value in the video, I upvote. If I don't, I downvote. Pretty cut-and-dry for me. I feel people are too concerned with getting videos published, any videos, rather than getting good videos published. I don't think it should be easier to get something published. If anything, I'd like to see it made more difficult.
We have Upvote: You think it's a great video, worthy of moving up higher on the site No Vote: You don't like the video, or it left you 'meh', or you just thought it was pretty lame... you don't feel it particularly worthy to go any further. DownVote: You really believe this video has no place on the sift, either it's horribly offensive, racist/bigoted, in really bad taste, is full on propaganda with no truth to it etc.
I really see the downvote as being reserved for those really bad videos. If you just don't like something then don't upvote it for god's sake, it's hard enough to get published around here let alone with people making life harder by downvoting for no real good reason.
This is a beautiful trailer, but I don't know if it really feels like POP anymore. The prince's leaps and climbs and such always felt believable. This is a bit over the top.
>> ^T-man: But can't he just downvote and then STFU? People are obviously enjoying the video. Why mess with that?
I prefer making the one comment for everyone to take their frustrations out on. If I don't, then I get half a dozen people getting pissy with me individually.
Why do so many of you think this is an affirmation site? Expecting everyone to tell you what a great job you did all the time is childish. I will not hang your crappy drawings on my fridge to make you feel good about yourself.
I didn't find this "comedy" video the least bit funny. I downvoted it. This really shouldn't be such a big deal to anyone.

"I kid you not" implies disbelief. All I'm saying is there shouldn't be any reason not to believe "Girl beats dude in wrestling."

It is.
It's also been frequently duped. At least you're in good company.
PS: Perhaps someone can add "art of the saber" to the tags on the live video?
