It has been brought to my attention that -Ruthless Beatings- might be redundant. I'm wondering if -Brutal Beatings- is more to everyone's liking? Please vote.

Judge WAN - Giving the Citizens of IMWAN a choice! Brutal beatings. Ruthless could be any variety of beating as long as it's done without regard. Brutal is just....bad...really...REALLY bad....

I don't now, "ruthless beatings" is not redundant. A beating that you've got coming is not ruthless. A ruthless beater shows no regard for whether the beating is deserved. A ruthless beater has no sense of proportionality -- perhaps giving the most severe beating when only a minor beating is called for.
A brutal beating is just that, but it may or may not be deserved. "Brutal" describes the beating, but not necessarily whether it is justified.
For example, it would not be ruthless, but rather merciful, to deliver a brutal beating to Mr. Happy.

Personally, I think your beatings could use more Ruth.  It's cool. She's a judge, too.

Gotta go with ruthless. It has more style. Brutal is just brutal with no finesse.

It seems that Ruthless Beatings is winning, but by only two votes. Please vote if you haven't already.

Theres been too much change lately. I think you should stick with the Classics.
And Ruthless Rolls off the tongue much better than Brutal
Or Listen to Jay-He Kills Racoons therefore He knows the difference bewteen Ruthless vs Brutal

When said out loud, "ruthless" sounds better than "brutal" when paired with "beatings" to me. I don't like the alliteration of "brutal beatings." Sounds too, I dunno, beetle-browed.

Wait...there's an actual vote?
In reference to the word "BEATING" (the nature of which being a righteous smackdown) when a Youtube search is done, those found under "ruthless" are far less dramatic and intense than those when you do same search for "Brutal".
I don't know if that makes "Brutal" more apt than "Ruthless" when paired with the word Beating, but..well...there you have it.

I like Ruth and I'd hate to see her involved in any sort of beating, so "Ruthless" gets my vote.

"Brutal" just sounds sexy.
I don't even post in the Playroom unless I can say "Brutal".
