*Incredibly, as of at least late November 2011 a certain popular video posting site visited by millions featured a so-called \\\"self defence instruction video\\\" in which a female instructor actually demonstrates how to perform a neck snap on an attacker. In the video she acknowledges the action as often being fatal (somewhat at odds with the statement at the top of this trope page). This disturbing video has been available for quite a while (and no we\\\'re \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' posting the link) without being taken down, yet videos with a bit of harmless T&A often get canned instantly. Go figure.

for being judgmental and thus out of tone. My own opinion is that it\\\'s no more or less dangerous than a gun-safety video, or other videos demonstrating hand to hand techniques that are intended to be lethal, and thus not offensive. \\\'\\\'\\\'There being the presence of an opposite opinion\\\'\\\'\\\', I decided to rewrite the example to reflect that. Opinions are just that; having seen the offending video(s) I tried to pare things down to observations.

Currently:

* There are youtube videos demonstrating the proper technique, many of them [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped overemphasizing the danger]] of the neck snap, since it\\\'s already both extremely dangerous and relatively simple to perform. The videos often [[InternetBackDraft come under fire]] for potentially inciting violent behavior that could either be justified by or hidden under the label of \\\"self-defence\\\". [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment The matter is hotly debated.]]
