Porygon Was Innocent: An epileptic perspective on the infamous Pokémon episode

Okay strong "forbidden fruit" vibes here; I had the strongest compulsion to look up that scene on youtube. It's very unpleasant to watch, at least to me. No wonder this gave people seizures.

It’s crazy: full frames with a solid blue and red alternating. To me also very unpleasant, but an effect I haven’t seen before.

Very uncomfortable to watch indeed.

I wonder how the animators themselves could stand it.

I had to look it up as well (I had already tried many years ago, but back then it wasn’t on YouTube yet) and I actually like it a lot artistically. There should be a way to safeguard people whom it causes issues for, while still allowing others to enjoy it.

I've recently noticed reminiscent effects in Arcane. They have some vfx that quickly alternate between yellow and magenta or yellow and blue. Not full frame.

I think they look rather striking. It's a shame that kind of thing is a danger to some.

I didn't find it that bad, but over time I've found that I think I keep my screen's brightness a little lower than most people, because I don't find light themes to be blinding.

Wow you weren't kidding. I love strobe lights at shows and wouldn't mind staring at one directly but that video made my heart skip a beat!

Yeah the person I watched the newest episodes said as much as well, she's quite sensitive to these things. That said, that show does have the warning ahead of the show.
