The cousin of “anything with eyes in it being tagged with scopophobia” is “anything with movement in it being tagged as epilepsy/seizure warning”
I should explain why this bothers me so much
I’m epileptic, I need a seizure warning tag because it keeps me from seeing shit that gives me headaches and migraines.
But I’ve had to remove it from my blacklist and just check every individual video, closing it at the first sign of strobing or flashing effects, because people were tagging stuff like
Otters playing in a river. A gif of a character bobbing up and down A vine of a baby cooing
As “epilepsy warning”.
There were no strobing or flashing effects in those examples whatsoever.
See, by tagging everything as “epilepsy warning” just because something moves is actively making my life harder because I literally don’t know at which point which videos have epileptic triggering materials and which are just plain videos and gifs
It’s counter-intuitive to having the tag at all
And if it DOES have triggering materials, PLEASE don’t use the word “epilepsy” in your warning tag. “Seizure warning,” “flashing gif,” “tw: seizure,” “strobe,” anything besides the word “epilepsy,” because we try to use that tag to talk about epilepsy, but many people with epilepsy can’t even open that tag because it’s full of so many flashing gifs from well-intentioned users.
^DO NOT use the word “epilepsy” in your warnings please
Go ahead Nebula play it cool like you weren’t just crying piteously for me to let you in the bedroom after you got locked out and like you’re not going to hop up on the bed to snuggle with me because you’re a giant cuddle monster who only pretends to be a smooth rebellious loner I see through your lies .
Gary Beach RIP. Really glad I was lucky enough to see him in his original run in The Producers. 😦
This is so upsetting.
One of the things that always struck me about him, especially watching videos of him in the recording booth for the Producers, is that I have never seen a performer more consistently overjoyed to do what they do. He seemed so bright and cheerful and it poured out of his performance.
i googled “protest stock photo” because i was curious to see how they would handle the subject matter while maintaining the inoffensive, generic marketability of most stock images and i don’t know what i expected but uh
group chat after you post something cursed
Remember that scene in the live action Grinch movie where he starts speaking in rhyme and is totally disgusted with himself?
Anyway I have Truly Scrumptious from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stuck in my head so if one of you would be so kind as to slit my throat, I’d really appreciate it.
