First of all, epilepsy comes all different ways. I am talking about epileptics that can actually look at screens.
Second of all, I don’t have epilepsy and so please add to this if you know more.
Step 1: NOTHING on your blog which has flashing lights
Step 2: NOTHING on your blog that starts making noise randomly
Step 3: NOTHING on your blog that tells people to blow on their screens.
Step 4: CHECK. A LOT.
Step 5: gentle colours- safe from eye strain
Step 6: have an ask box
Step 7: let people know its epilepsy friendly!!
Step 8: BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU REBLOG!
Step 9: if you have a 2nd, non-epilepsy safe blog, TAG ALL EPILEPSY WARNINGS!! This is really important!!
Step 10: Encourage people to send an ask if anything isn’t epilepsy friendly.
Note: You might be thinking ‘oh but if they have epilepsy, then they can just leave the blog!’ This isn’t true, at least in most cases it is false. People with epilepsy are often drawn to bright and flashing lights. Don’t expect them to be able to leave so easily!!
Please look at this it’s important!!
I’m moving it up again y'all
Hi! Epileptic here
You really don’t have to free your blog of flashing/loud/or otherwise triggering content if you don’t want to
All we ask is that you tag these things correctly so we may blacklist them and enjoy your blog
Proper tags include, but are not limited to: #tw flashing #tw flashing lights #flashing #flashing// #epilepsy warning #seizure warning
Or any variation of those
Do not tag them as #epilepsy
I know you mean well, but a lot of epileptics have had to unfollow that tag because it was too polluted with flashing lights
I’m glad you’re thinking of us, but like I said, you don’t have to remove content from your blog, just tag it with a common trigger tag
And, if someone asks you to tag something, then be respectful and tag it for them. Do not argue with them
1 in 26 people are epileptics
If you have more than 26 followers, chances are you have epileptics following you
Thank you for listening
Reblog this version!!! Please!!!
