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.

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.

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.
