But Thats A Good Tag For Those That Need It - Tumblr Posts

To add what constitutes "flashing," for extra context.

I found this online:

What rate of flashing light can trigger seizures?

Between 3-30 Hertz (flashes per second) are the common rates to trigger seizures but this varies from person to person. While some people are sensitive at frequencies up to 60 Hertz, sensitivity under 3 Hertz is not common.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

Please Stop Trigger Tagging With #epilepsy Tw/cw/warning/etc.
Please Stop Trigger Tagging With #epilepsy Tw/cw/warning/etc.
Please Stop Trigger Tagging With #epilepsy Tw/cw/warning/etc.
Please Stop Trigger Tagging With #epilepsy Tw/cw/warning/etc.

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
