About flashing gifsets and “click and drag” games

yamino:

A lot of fandoms have gifsets like these, that rapidly flash images that you are meant to click and drag to select a random character.  Like this one, that I’ve seen like 5 people reblog on my dash: (my screencap isn’t animated obviously):

They are one of the most triggering things on Tumblr to people with epilepsy.  By reblogging gifsets like this with no warning you are putting people at risk of seizures.

If you are planning to reblog it, at least use trigger warnings in your tags so people with epilepsy can screen them with Tumblr Savior.

I personally tag: gifset, animated gif, and most importantly, epilepsy warning. Do NOT tag it simply “epilepsy” as this is a tag epileptics use to share info on Tumblr.

You could also just do what I did and reblog your screenshot, with a link to the flashing version. (So people aren’t forced to see the flashing version.)
