Quick health warning for those seeing Incredibles 2

jaxblade:

while I did Love the film⁠ ⁠I have to warn people who know or they themselves are prone seizures cause there’s a couple scenes in the movie that could induce an episode so just a heads up. 

The scenes happen with no warning, last for at least a few seconds (one in particular lasts for over a full minute), and are dispersed throughout the movie, so they cannot be easily predicted.

These scenes are problematic for people prone to seizures especially, but they could also affect those with other eye sensitivity issues, migraines, PTSD, or autism, among other things.

I love Disney/Pixar, but they should have put a warning of some kind ahead of the film itself so that those who may have missed the printed signs (which were put out AFTER people noted the issue on Twitter to warn others…) would be properly notified.

I know I’m not photosensitive but it really pisses me off that epilepsy warnings aren’t REQUIRED, full stop. We require food allergens to be printed, but never in my life have I seen a company release an epilepsy warning. The only ones I’ve ever seen were in YouTube gaming videos from Jacksepticeye and Markiplier. Even UNIVERSAL Studios didn’t inform their guests which HHN houses included strobe effects. Hell, we weren’t told, either! Their own damn employees weren’t told which houses had strobe effects! A coworker had a seizure working the event because of it. I had a meltdown on Hollywood Blvd because of strobe effect. My parents had to practically carry me out of the park.

And now Disney, one of the biggest companies on the face of this earth, have released a highly anticipated movie that features intense strobe effect with no warning? That people have to be lucky enough to find a warning online? THAT YOUNG KIDS WITH PHOTOSENSITIVITY EPILEPSY ARE GOING TO SEE??

Why is this such an inconvenient thing for you all? Is spending an extra thirty seconds to announce or display an epilepsy warning really worth more to you than your guests and audience?
