To Popkin (author of the BoingBoing article), you should always research and find the original creator instead of linking to a random repost (the clicks should go to the original creator).
The original creator of that video is Adem Ocaktan from Türkiye.
He has a TikTok channel: ademocaktan (@ademocaktan) | TikTok
He also has a YouTube channel: Adem Ocaktan - YouTube
Here’s a link to the original TikTok video: Diyarbakir ongözlu kopru "abe düsecen" :) #ademocaktan #kuklalarınefen... | TikTok
