Did you know that the sun itself can induce seizures? Well now you do.

βIf you're watching the opening ceremonies, there are some flashy bits around the 35 minute mark that could cause problems if you're photosensitive, so be aware. (I recorded the earlier showing so I'm a little ahead.)
speed setting (the lower the number, the faster the animation goes; 5s (5 seconds) will be faster than 10s).
:heart_trans: **small reminder about photo-sensitivity** :heart_trans: Hi friends! Hazel here with a small request to please be careful with media - especially animated media - that includes any of the following: - bright lights / colors - flashing or pulsing - gradient effects or patterns - rapid motion, movement, or animation All of these can be uncomfortable or physically painful to people with photo-sensitivity. In some cases, such media can even trigger a migraine or seizure. When posting anything like that, please be sure to include a content warning on the post. Be especially careful with emoji reactions, as these may appear **outside** of the content warning. If you're ever in doubt, then err on the side of caution and add a content warning. You can also reach out to me or another member of staff for advice. Thank you for understanding, and for helping to keep our instance safe and inclusive. :heart_trans: #PhotoSensitivity #Inclusivity #Accessibility
Last night, I tried to watch A New Hope for the first time in decades. Within the first five minutes, the flashing lights triggered a #migraine (not the laser fire itself, but the way the screen periodically went white when there was a hit).
The last time I watched Star Wars was on DVD and I don't remember this. Is it something to do with the upscaling? Disney Plus? My own device?
If it's part of the film, I'm really confused why there's no warning for #photosensitive viewers at the beginning.
Would really appreciate my fellow #disabled peeps helping me out with this one, because I'd like to watch Star Wars again.
