Epileptic Problems - Tumblr Posts
JUST PUTTING THIS OUT HERE! I’ve noticed the bitzee virtual pet things has FLASHING LIGHTS! Very much so and there is no warning for it. For context though, I do not have epilepsy. However I have autism and the lights are very overly stimulating so I JUST want to make sure that some people know so if anyone buys this product they know the risks and do not put themselves in danger. Bare in mind I do not actually know if this can, however I figure to warn people more about it JUST INCASE.
I am posting this on here and tagging things for people who may be at risk, may see this.
Below is a demonstration, credit to the original creator of the video! TW FOR FLASHING LIGHTS AT :20 NOW BELOW THE EDIT !
Edit: thank you so much for reblogging photosensitive despair! I really really hope this gets out to more people as I hope this could save lives! Thank you again.
I don’t speak for every neurodivergent person obviously but for neurodivergent kids trick or treating- if anyone has an experience that has flashing lights or loud noises in like a haunted house- imagine if there was first of all- telling people that there will be loud noises or flashing lights- or anything else like that- and write that people who are neurotypical or are okay with those things knock- but people who aren’t ring a door bell and perhaps have a quick conversation on what they could do to make the experience accessible then DO IT. Like a kid with photosensitivity or epilepsy? Turn off the flashing lights. An autistic person with texture aversions? Maybe move the fake web to the side, so everyone can experience the almost same experience in a healthy way! Someone cannot use their legs? Bring the experience to them or find a way to make them feel involved!
Probably a perfect world situation but I find this idea to be so smart and an excellent way of including people with disabilities who sometimes can’t. I know from experience there have been so many events I couldn’t attend due to over stimulation and I just wanted to put this out here Incase people would use this
Hey! There’s a recent game on steam (soon coming to consoles) called Amber Isles. Cute dino game (please go support devs)
HOWEVER, there is a VERY bad bug right now with tails (in particular one of the more avian-like paleofolk tails that kinda looks like a butterfly, at least for me) It again could be a possible concern for those with epilepsy, if I decide to keep the game I’ll update when this is fixed. Stay safe folks!
(I’m not actually epileptic again- HOWEVER I tagged the same last time I posted like this. I’d rather people block me for posting on the wrong tag after people see this, THAN HAVE SOMEONE DIE TO SUDEP. People with epilepsy can 100% correct me on this too!)
EDIT: It seems to be a low performance thing! Still worth noting though if you do have an old/laggy laptop and have epilepsy or photosensitivity, OR it happens anywhere but the shop. Hard to tell.
EDIT 2: IT IS WITH ALL LONG TAILS IT SEEMS! ALSP MOVED TJE PROOF TO A REBLOG BECAUSE THE MAIN POST BEING A WARNING FOR PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY AND HAVING SOMETHINF FLASHING WAS NOT SMART (albeit it had big text “WARNING FOR FLASHING BELOW!” And a lot of space (like 10 lines prob) but still- gonna be in a reblog instead!
