Hallelujah! It’s not just me who has noticed the lack of consideration for people unable to tolerate flashing lights.
I’ve been saying it for so long now, and rarely seen anyone take it under advisement.
I’m not epileptic, yet in certain instances they make me really dizzy and feel faint. Not sure why lol. But I’ve seen so many people put persistent flashing scenes in stories with not even a warning.
I’ve recently had to abandon 2 separate stories I was beginning to read, in the first and third chapters, just because of too much flashing imagery. Both were promising stories and I was looking forward to reading them, but one had no warning and flashing that went on over two scenes. Another had a warning, but again went on a long time, with no option to skip, or read without flashing lights.
I know that some people just simply forget these kinds of things, but please, try not to, because for some people, it really is dangerous, and in the meantime, it takes just a few extra moments of coding.
Please note that when I refer to flashing images, I am not referring to brief transitions, or even a sudden quick transition where it’s like a quick flash, as both there are like blinking lol.
