I will be the epileptic representation that I so desperately need!! The auras have been hitting me hard recently so I made some art about it
By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.
We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.
Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.
Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!
"At least they put a warning! They cared enough to do that much, right? So why are you still upset?"
While I obviously appreciate seizure warnings because it means someone was considerate enough to give some thought to our safety, it's still saying: "We care about you, so here's your warning to stay away! We care about you, but don't forget that you're not welcome here! We care about you, but you're not allowed in! No, we're not going to change it, but look! Here's a warning! We didn't NEED to put it there, but did so of our own good will! Please be sure to thank us as you walk away. Plus, everyone else loves it soooo...yeah! No hard feelings, it's just our artistic expression! You understand! You're welcome! :D"
And it ALWAYS happens.
Before anyone asks, no this isn't just about the TADC episode. That's just the most recent example that made me want to bring this up. This is about EVERYTHING. No really, take a look around. Commercials and ads. Emergency vehicles. First responders. Bars and clubs. TV shows and movies. Cameras. Concert clips. Live music. Music videos. Movie trailers. News clips/footage. Video games. Optical illusions that simulate vibrations/movement. Fireworks. Random customized cars outside. Flashy halloween decorations every fall. "Old Web" aesthetics coming back. Unfiltered eyestrain images designed to "grab attention" with bright high-contrast and saturation. Once you start to notice, you'll never stop noticing, and then maybe you'll understand why we feel so alone and frustrated.
And most off the time, there aren't any warnings because they're not required. And then someone else always comes by and says "You made sure to thank them for putting in the warning right? After all, they didn't NEED to put it there. I bet you're so thankful they did! Now go somewhere else while we have our fun. :)"

Christmas season is coming so let me remind you to be mindful of people with epilepsy this Christmas.
Strobing lights on trees and other decorations are triggering and can be dangerous to people sensitive to light!
And if you feel like doing some activism you can ask your university or your local government to use static lights for Christmas decorations.
unfriendly reminder that putting a flashwarning on stuff WILL NOT harm OR kill you!!
however! not putting one COULD harm or kill someone else!
-sincerely, someone who is seizure prone!!!!!
APPARENTLY THE ROADKILL FAIRY IS POSTING STROBING LIGHTS IN EPILEPSY TAGS. DON'T FUCKING LOOK IN THERE.
SHOVING THIS POST UNDER AS MANY EPILEPSY TAGS AS POSSIBLE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW.
