Ah yes, the tired hackneyed response when something even slightly negative is uttered about tickle videos. I'd just like to retort that we shell out money for them and, if theres valid criticism and room to improve the content thats out there, then there's no reason why we cant talk about it. . Sure, if we dont like it, dont buy it, but for example, its too late if what we bought is not what was advertised. Clearly, you're not gonna please everyone, but if I had a studio, I'd keep an open mind, have some variety in content, and experiment with new concepts.
So I say, go ahead and vent. Keep it civil but honest. Who knows? Maybe someone's paying attention...

One of my biggest pet peeves is when the ler jumps all around the lee's body instead of taking time to hit one spot at a time. It's like a really amatuerish kind of tickling.

Why do we have a "don't say unflattering things about the brave men and women who provide us with videos" rule/tradition?
I'm seriously asking. Because they're not exactly giving it to us for free out of the goodness of their hearts, and given that there's more producers now then ever I'm really not of the impression but so many of them are doing it to "contribute to the community" so much as they are trying to make a dime off the tickle fetish crowd. I could see if people started in with the "Tickle Abuse blows dog, him and his skanky ass faking sluts should get the fuck out with that shit" how that could be an issue, but the whole "Oh fuck, here you babies go bashing again" attitude makes no sense when at it's core it's critiquing a product.

^^^ agree. This is a tickling media forum. In theory, that includes discussion about what's not working in tickling media.
I have to agree with a lot of the gripes that have been voiced here. Tickling videos are a commodity that people buy with particular, if somewhat individual expectations. They are not really an art form like a feature film, though the reactions of some of the producers when suggestions are given or criticism is voiced do seem like those of peeved artists.
I read a write-up on a video, see a couple of pictures and perhaps a short trailer. On that basis I make my judgement to buy or not, and mostly the product falls short of the sales pitch. They choose the best parts for the trailer, and write whatever is likely to make the video sell.
Incidentally, Last Laugh is an exception there, as mostly the descriptions correspond pretty exactly to the content of the videos. But they must also be a lot of work, which most producers don't seem to want to put in.
So, take Tickle Central. Was a great site, still has great models and what I am about to say I realise is a purely personal response. But every fucking time they start the more intense tickle of the feet, they focus on the foot and the only one seeing the reactions of the model herself is the bloody producer. Now, is that a massive flaw. For me, yes, and it prevents me from buying their stuff any longer as I get too frustrated and actually i bought the video to enjoy, not to get frustrated. So I settle for some less accomplished sites so that I don't get frustrated.
Some of the other things that frustrate me with Tickle Central - nevertheless among the very best sites out there, is that the kind of natural dialogue that used to exist between early models like Britney and Heather is hardly present any longer. Scenes where the tickler asks whether it tickles, why she should stop, if she is ticklish, and then expects and ANSWER are no longer there. Instead the tickler states that the model is ticklish. Again, what the hell, it frustrates me, it prevents me from buying, but it is not really a slating of the producer, who does not know my particular likes and dislikes.
And that is what I thought this thread was about!
After all, media producers are out to sell videos. Most of us here want to buy the ones that meet the particular bent of our fetish. If the descriptions became accurate and full, and the trailers showed a cross-section - not the bit the producer feels is going to sell the video - you would have far fewer bitching, frustrated customers.
Some of my other pet hates are nylons that come off only in the last 1/4 of the video (why the hell can't they say that), or a video in which there is only upper-body tickling, which, having been stupid enough to buy it, I simply delete from my computer (why can't the producer make that clear in advance?) And it certainly does happen!
