So question
With all these great answers given and most having similar definitions why such hate for scripted catfights? I'm talking the good ones like from California wildcats, and crystal films. Scripted catfights when done with care offer you all of these things in spades so why the hate?
"It's not the thing I like so therefor it is BAD" is unfortunately a common trend in our culture these days and there are some people that go out of their way to comment on obviously scripted content to say it's fake / garbage or whatever.
I think it's a minority of fans but just a very vocal and toxic minority.
I always say 'to each their own' and let people enjoy what they enjoy, some people love scripted scenarios with stories and a variety of moves, others prefer strictly competitive catfights.
Everyone is allowed to like what they like!
I've never been an athlete and have no real martial arts training - I'm more Bettie Page than Rhonda Rousey but I have plenty of friends who still do the rougher competitive stuff and prefer it.
I like to tell stories with my videos, even if the story is just two chicks fighting, it's still like a small movie with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
It's like comparing an action movie to a UFC fight - they aren't the same thing, apples and oranges and you're allowed to like either one or even both if you want.
