I haven't been taking those "chooses not to warn" as seriously as I probably should, and have frantically back-buttoned a couple of times. (Only a couple of times, though. Most of the people who choose not to warn are not doing it for any reason I properly understand.) (No, you don't have to explain it to me: I know there was a huge, highly-charged fandom-wide debate about that just before my time, and I'm not asking anyone to relive or recap it for me.)
Oo, a vidding mentor! chaila is my vidding mentor! All of our conversations go like so:
Me: Should I do a thing? I'm not at all sure-- Her: YES! ABSOLUTLEY YES. DO THE THING. DO ALL THE THINGS. Me: But is it--? Her: IT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA, DO ALL THE THINGS.
The closest I've heard her to expressing hesitation was when I said I was considering a Lord King Bad vid about genocide. Her reaction was "I have no idea how that would work but none of my friends ever have bad ideas so DO THE THING."
(Heh, I tease, but it's been invaluable to have someone who is all JUST MAKE IT. And she hasn't yet been wrong.)
