Actor in the Secret Lives series Jasmin Voutilainen is tired of the kind of discussion taking place on discussion boards and in the comment fields of social media publications today.
Voutilainen says that he saved himself mainly from nasty comments in his own publications, but ended up reading online columns from time to time. The overriding feeling at the time was the shock.
– I am very surprised by how cruel people can be there, Voutilainen sighs.
The actor has noticed a change in the conversational culture of the internet as the corona pandemic spread around the world.
– I feel that the world situation has particularly affected how people dissipate.
Minds in traffic
Voutilainen actively publishes content on social media. One important thing in years in public has taught him.
– And that is, whatever you do or say, I feel like someone always hurts their mind – or wants to hurt their mind. I wish that even if someone had opinions and this person made choices in their lives – be they right or wrong – it would not be up to anyone to criticize them. I don’t think it is the job of strangers to stone anyone.

The actor emphasizes that he does not feel himself subjected to bad Finnish bullying.
– But I feel that there are terribly public figures who get a lot of dirt on their necks, and in that sense I feel that I can get there easily.
Despite this, nasty comments have had an impact on his own use of Finnish.
– Actually, because of that culture in general, I have taken a little more of my own time and focused on life here and now. However, life is not really on Instagram or online.
Empathy, thank you!
Voutilainen calls for the fact that even if a person is in public, there is a person who feels under the cloak of publicity, to whom comments can cause deep wounds.
– It seems that it is often forgotten that public figures are also real people with feelings. Unfortunately, comments written under the protection of anonymity can also end up with our own eyes.
The actress hopes that empathy would still raise its head in online discussions.
– It would be really valuable for people to be able to settle more in the position of the object of comments. It is self-evident to me that I wonder in my daily life whether I would like someone to treat me the way I treat others myself. If there is nothing good to say, then you should be quiet.
Voutilainen himself has openly told the public about his beauty operations, for example. Over the years, she has become accustomed to the fact that her beauty operations many years ago, for example, have been sharply criticized in the world.
– For me, everyone can comment on my beauty operations as they wish. They have been my own decisions, and I have spoken openly about them. Instead, comments related to body size or something like that really feel bad, because I can’t influence those things.
– I think that everyone can be exactly what they want. For some it means a more stocked body and for others it is more natural. I think in 2022, everyone should be able to be exactly what they want and do exactly what they want, he sums up.
