Thanks for the update, Wired. I'm glad to see my "Seme" made it in.

So to speak.

The idea of a 'sex' category is that it's an 'action' category but for which 'sex' is considered the 'action'. Having a 'Sexual Activity/Action' category may be something to try for next year, just to see how it does. The audience thinks 'Action' needs to just be your normal 'Action' video. And there have been a lot of video over the years (sure most of them from BDP) that the main theme of the video has been nothing more then sex. They could fall into drama or romance but never enough to win anything as people still think in traditional senses for 'drama' or 'romance'. As for 'comedy' sex, that still fall under comedy.

And if the videos were sorted by the 'category' they were submitted in, some of them got mixed up I think (atleast mine did). My 'Yaoi Drug' video was suppose to be a 'comedy', while 'Pretty Boys' was a Drama.

I think you got best drama and best romance inverted unless I was given the wrong certificate. So which one is it?

even if it was an sex/action category, I doubt you'll get many entries for it. That's a style of editing that requires a "Nathan Explosion" kind of attitude. With yaoi as your theme I can't imagine that there would be a whole lot of guys who would consider going (I know I wouldn't), and I'm probably wrong and sexist, but this is my opinion, but girls just don't seem to have that kind of idiotic thought process that goes into making an action amv (even if its about sex, its still action).

I just think your gonna need that "guy" mentality with the monkey behind the computer that makes every guy think more is better so our very first fantasy growing up becomes 2 girls, cuz that's the only thing better than 1 girl.

I beg to differ.

And just to prove you wrong, I'll make an action vid for next year's Yaoicon (which I'll be attending).

Totally wrong. About half the 'bishies'/males that go to the convention are straight. There is still 80% female at the convention, but there are alot of guys who go to the convention. Guys who go know exactly why they go...it could be something to do with the 80% female population that is watching porn and thus horney as hell that makes it a great place. But then only if your an openned minded individual, your close-mindedness is unwanted and would be unwelcome at Yaoi-con.

I beg to differ having made AMVs for many many years. Several of which are Action. The reason why there are less action videos by females is not because they can't edit such, but because they tend to prefer Shoujo animes, that don't transfer into 'action' videos as much. They prefer the romance stories so that's the type of videos they make. I would like to see you spend the time it takes to edit sex to the beat as has been done in many a Yaoi-con video. Sadly said videos can't be hosted here.

I agree that girls edit, but I disagree with your reason why. I think it's simply a matter of numbers. There are more male editors than female.

I know I've done all sorts of vids, not just shojo genre. And I watch all sorts of anime as well.

As someone who runs several AMV contests, I agree with CorpseGoddess.. There still are more Male editors (but not by much as it use to be) and I find that female editors make all sorts of different types of videos...

However one intresting point is that in a lot of the action videos do tend to be male dominated, but only in that category...

Just as there are few males that make Yaoi AMVs, because it's not what they watch. However I know there are Male Yaoi AMV creators (Fungie 1/2 part of BDP is one, Phelbes Anime is another), it's just not the majority.
