There are certainly many different styles of tickling. And it certainly is true that some is more intense/hardcore than others.
But, (1) there are substantial portions of the tickling community (myself included) which prefer something more humane than the kink.com style of tickling (although, of course, the kink.com style of tickling can be a lot of fun, too). The tickling in the clip at the top of this thread is very humane and fun. The lady is obviously very ticklish and pushed reasonably hard, but it appears that she and the tickler are still having fun as she tries and fails to fight her reactions. That's tickling gold, in my opinion, even if it is less "hardcore" than what you can get from whippedass. (That said, thanks for the tip -- I will definitely check out the scene you refer to.)
(2) The mere fact that kink.com produces very hardcore tickling scenes (when it chooses to include tickling in its BDSM material) can't change the fact that what Zen offered above is, in fact, tickling (indeed, excellent tickling). The idea that because someone else does something you (and, remember, not me and not lots of other people) like better, what is offered in this thread isn't tickling is nonsense.
(3) It is, in addition, rude and unpleasant to crap all over someone's posting of a free sample with "fake", "staged" and "faux." You are (of course) entitled to your opinion and even to post it. That doesn't make it less rude. The rudeness is especially galling here, where it is so unwarranted.
