Interview With Yaqi

unitkl said:
Havsoker what was it that you said? Type it again for us? If it disappears again than you know its not technical difficulties. 🙂


I said that flame wars are like boxing matches, except that one boxer is in Las Vegas while the other is in New York. When the bell rings, they come out swinging. They can't hurt each other, but they sure look silly trying. 🙂
 
O.K., he does have a tremedously bad attitude, but Yaqi's not COMPLETELY wrong in what he says....... Let's take a look....

>>>>>>I bought some tickling videos produced by other companies and they were so fucking god awful.<<<<<<<


I've heard/read this myself. I've SAID it myself. People still say stuff like this. That's why so many people start their own company. I'll be glad to trade some of my T.J stuff, the milder FM videos or that tremedously bad "Silk Stocking Tickler" for some Yaqi tapes.....


>>>>>>You have to understand that the internet tickling community is a reasonably organized collection of some
of the most uninteresting, unfunny, embarrassingly stupid bunch of obsessive, moronic whining, mother fucking loser freaks.<<<<<<


Harsh..... not completely fair (he does say there are "exceptions" later).... but then talk to some of the women who no longer go into the chat room(s) because of problems..... heck, read some of the posts on this site!


>>>>> Many of them are soooo in to tickling but afraid to reveal this to anyone. <<<<


Wow - he nailed me! And many out there, I feel. Including one of the Mods that I know.


>>>>>>So they sit in the internet tickling community and fantasize about kidnapping and tickle torturing Britney Spears, or they "cyber tickle" in chat rooms, or go "OMG VCR ALERT!!! There is a great shot of Pamela Anderson's feet on TV next week!" or do anything other than go out in the real world and find a tickling partner. <<<<


I've seen this. Hell, I've done this.


>>>>>>>>>The whole point of www.yaqisworld.com was to say "People, stop living in a dream world! Tickling is cool and not weird so go out and do it!" <<<<<<


What a great dream. And yes, for some, it works.

>>>>>>Unfortunately people are too terrified to do this so they sit on the internet and let their fantasies fester into a giant disease. <<<<<

Ugly, but not totally off target. Any suppression of what is natural to us can build up to an ugly mess, but quite frankly, the vibe I'm getting from general society is that revelling in my tickling fondness publicly isn't all that welcome right now at this juncture of social evolution.

>>>>>>>Disgusted by this attitude and by all of these pathetic whistle dicks<<<<


You mean this line didn't make you all laugh? My, what a serious group of ticklers you are! But what about all the "whistle pussies" out there, Yaqi? I'm Popeye the sailor man - toot toot!


>>>>>>They all whined when I was on Stern: "Is Yaqi giving us a bad name???" but of course they all listened to the broadcast and faithfully watched the E! shows and made mpeg clips for everyone. And then some of them whine about how my tickling Jenna Jameson was a waste of time because I did not touch her feet!<<<<<<


Actually, I do rememebr this. A lot of people thought he was great doing his thing on Stern. And a lot of people complained. Personally, I didn't see it.


I kind of get the idea that Yaqi is like these people who smoke all their lives, then quit, and become very militant about anti-smoking, or people who loose weight then say angrily "anyone can do it - I did." He's bravely living his fantasy and seems to be fed up that others aren't following his path to Nirvana where a real tickling community - at least, his vision of it - can thrive. But he's developed arrogance rather than compassion. It'd be like Jesus, MLK or Ghandi saying "Why don't these pitiful bastards just get off their ass!" Yaqi doesn't owe us anything, but the outright venomous scorne doesn't exactly sway me to his side. Also, he doesn't seem to realize that, within a fetish, people have their own preferrences (his complaining that some people only like stocking feet tickling). He also seems to think that fantasy has no use or value, which I think is way off. There's a frustrated, fed up mean streak here, and he should be spanked on his butt for the attitude and any personal attacks. But looking at it as objectivley as I can, he's not utterly in error in his observations.
 
It's one o' them cases of "not bein' able t'see the forest for the trees," OddJob. The man so arrogantly slams so much in so short of a time, AGAIN, and while some bits were caustically accurate, some ain't, and if he's livin' his dream, it's at the expense of others.

He slams ALL video companies. Not just the boring tapes. All of them. I've seen well-made videos, thus, I refute him as arrogantly inaccurate.

This can be done throughout. Point is this - he's WAY too self-centered, and depricating of the whole of the online community. By his terms, your post is a waste of time, and we should all just send our money to him. Dig? I do respect your kindness here, though, sir. It's a respectable thing to try to see a man's argument through all the dreck around it.

There's just too much dreck around too little new information.

I've bought videos I didn't enjoy. Some folks POSTED that they liked those very videos.

Many are underground in their interest. Big surprise.

A big handful of truths in a sea of self-aggrandizing, is how I see it. Still, that you stopped to find what was accurate is respectable, brother.

Well said, dvnc. The man has obviously let his success get to his head. A sad case, really.
 
agreed...yaqi is just an egomaniac who is biting the hand thats fed him for so long. such is life,don't let it get ya down folks...there are others that love their internet customers 🙂
 
uuuhhhh......

Is it me, or...maybe because I have a background in video work (actually, my background is a television set, the wall, all that air inbetween - who says we can't be funny!) ... but I'm just...not impressed by Yaqi's videos! This is an artistic critique, not an insult, I'll never meet him, but if I did, I'd tell him "Hey, what's up," I don't care, I'm laid back here. But he says: "I bought some tickling videos produced by other companies and they were so fucking god awful."

I mean, he throws the girl on a bed, tickles her, and that's it. Probably the easiest video a person can do. Anyone here, with a camcorder, can do that or better in their house. It takes about three minutes to plug the camera in and insert a tape and turn it on. Why is he bragging? Jeff's Magic Touch productions are not that sophisticated either, BUT, he has variety (bare, pantyhose - though rarely :dropatear) He has on the floor tickling, on the bed, stocks, (which I never was impressed with, but that is besides the point - he uses them, some people like them, so that is a plus on his part) he has that table stock set, and he has done christmas themes and basically has more variety than Yaqi has. Real Tickling is the most sophisticated company on the forum, having plots and sets, and lighting. SilverCherry is another simple company, but they use a sofa, a table stock, and have pretty good lighting. Hell, Francois's videos looked better than Yaqis, with the close-ups of the feet, and just the overall fun aspect of the whole thing. Foot Paradise's videos to Yaqi's would be like comparing Citizen Kane to a B-movie. (Even though many here don't like them, they have done some impressive stuff.)

His website is kind of plain looking too. I mean, yeah, he's on Stern, that's great. He's tickled famous women, good for him. But he's still got a long way to go before he can brag. All his models wear almost the same thing, there's no variety in costume, NO PANTYHOSE tickling -the fool laughs at us!

Look at Playboy.com. (There's no tickling there, but look at the webpage, the videos, the time and effort put into them, the clarity of the image.)
Look at Danni's Harddrive. The extras, the "Joke of the day," the huge variety of models.

I just finished a directing class at a local open channel. The guy made an important point. He said, basically, when people are flipping through the channels, they want something that's interesting and catches the eye. It doesn't matter how good your message is, it doesn't matter how deep and awe inspiring your information is, because if you are just sitting in a chair in a poorly lit studio, no one will stop and listen, they will keep on channel surfing past you. If your set looks nice, it is well lit, the camera angle is a good one, the camera's all have good exposures, and the edits are moving at an adequate pace, then people will stop and watch. Only THEN, will your content matter. And even then, sometimes it doesn't if the technical aspects are good enough, but that's another story.

I just placed a video on Kazaa called Foot_fetish.mpg. Take a look at it. Superior. Professional lighting, video, the camera is on a dolly, (it moves a lot for the video, a little too much for a tickling one, but it does flow.) That is a future of tickling, the professional touch.

Once someone asked for a few pointers on creating a video in a hotel room, and humbly spoke that he only had a miniDV camera and just a hotel room. (Humble, an emotion I didn't see in yaqi's interview, sadly.) I said, you can make a horrible video in a hotel room, and a masterpiece in the same room. Depends o how much work you put into it, what the camera angle are, and if we can even see anything.

So, in my humble opinion, I am unimpressed with Yaqi's webpage and videos. They are probably the least sophisticated out of any company out there. (Even FM Concepts easily has them beat.) That's not to say they could get better in the future, but as it stands right now, all the companies that visit his board have him beat. He's still got a long way to go.

Yeah, too true, DVNC, too true. While I've never personally dealt with him, I remember when that angry hate fullness wasn't there. A sad situation. There were some germs of truths in what he said, but he killed those germs of with his caustic..... let me think.... his caustic Listerine of bitternes.

Oh God.

Bottom line - you make sense. He don't.
 
ROFL! Oddjob, y'made my mornin' wit' the mouthwash theme, brother!

He DOES have some possibly-valid points buried beneath harsh invective and needless name-calling. Sadly, it won't reach anyone, as no one seems to want to hear such things in such a fashion.

Sad t'see such divisive behavior,

dvnc
