I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
heyyyy, I don't know if this has been discussed anywher but regarding Joonas' nickname "Piina" which has been translated as "tormenter" in that video I just saw you reblog: a while ago it was revealed in a short interview in Finnish (I'd link it here but I honest to god can't remember which interview) it was revealed that Joel and Joonas' nicknames are Piina and Paniikki, which I believe is a reference from the 1997 Disney animated film Hercules in which the two minions of Hades, Pain and Panic, are translated as Piina and Paniikki in the Finnish voiceover. Literally translated, piina means 'torture', 'suffering', 'agony' etc. (rather than 'pain')
just a fun fact for those who are wondering! 😇 in the interview, Niko explains that they have earned those nicknames because Joel is always panicking and because Joonas is agonizingly slow sometimes 😂
Ohhh I see. Thank you for this important context! 😅
