okay more serious version of my other post about this but the fact that arachnophobia modes that censor spiders are the video game accessibility settings things that have become widespread instead of other accessibility settings perplexes me so much. like if you can remove spiders from your game but not things like flashing lights or effects that cause motion sickness i think you might need to reconsider your priorities

[babblingfishes]

Game devs! Removing epilepsy triggers may not be as easy as swapping out a spider model, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore it. Epilepsy can kill.

Here are 4 straightforward criteria to avoid:

Any sequence of flashing images that lasts for more than 5 seconds

More than three flashes in a single second, covering 25%+ of the screen

Moving repeated patterns or uniform text, covering 25%+ of the screen

Static repeated patterns or uniform text, covering 40%+ of the screen

The full guidelines (along with guidelines for many other accessibility features) can be found here: (bookmark this site!)

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything as terrifying as my first seizure. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.Cathy Vice,

firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.

hm some people in my inbox got really mad at this specifically. nothing you can say will convince me that some of the pain and suffering we go through is our “fate” no, it isn’t

i really like horror movies and i get a lot of movie recs and reviews on tiktok and i am learning that a lot of "horror fans" over there simply do not like horror

[strayknight]

"I DONT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE it was really disturbing and had an uncomfortable subject matter and it really effected me and i kept thinking about it afterwards. very upsetting movie it should have NEVER been made." its horror its supposed to be uncomfortable by its nature. if a horror movie is easily digestible and its themes and subject matter dont effect you then it fails as a horror movie.

yeah theres a lot of bad horror movies out there that handle sensitive subject matters poorly and sometimes are very gratuitous but a lot of the time these videos that claim a movie is basically a simulated snuff film seem to be "the movie depicted an upsetting matter seriously and it made me empathize with the characters involved" girl that means the movie did it right !! if you dont want to explore these themes then why are you watching horror movies !!!!!! you dont have to watch or like horror movies for your tiktok goth aesthetic

[strayknight]

also you dont have to like every kind of horror, you can just avoid ones with topics you find upsetting if you want but you cant just go saying "this movie should have never been made because i thought it was evil and immoral" you sound like one of those christian mom movie review sites but youre a 24 year old with a bisexual accent who really didnt like tusk (2014)

[swordshapedleaves]

It's horror aesthetics vs actual horror. People call both of them horror, but a lot of people only want horror aesthetics. As an anime fan I have the opposite problem because 95% of "horror" anime is just anime with horror aesthetics with like one mildly scary scene at the begining.

As summer is approaching, I’d like to remind everyone that you are not entitled to ask someone to cover up their scars, self inflicted or not. I don’t care if they’re big, I don’t care if they’re noticeable, or purple, or all over their body, or what. You can’t police people’s bodies.

[asexual-amanita]

This also goes for my friends with feeding tubes, ostomy bags, central lines and urinary catheters. People are allowed exist in bodies that stray from the expected norm.

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

[bebsi-cola]

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings

Race isn’t mentioned in this post, but I’m sure it applies regardless. Take the screenshot in context to both that and the groups mentioned above.

(smoking a cigarette) the average american is afraid of what is new and what is foreign, and especially of what is adult. they are trapped forever in daycares of their own design, reading books and watching shows made for children. And while there are interesting things made for children, by and large, they tend to stick to inoffensive, intensely juvenile things that won't challenge them much. And worst of all, if you suggest to your Average American that they should try to step outside of their narrow box, especially if they're trying to become artists, animators, film makers, novelists, etc, everyone acts as if you've just bombed the daycare. Wow.

"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense
