god it feels like lately we have lost so much progress in terms of movies and tv and gaming actually remembering that people with photosensitivity conditions (epilepsy, migraine, etc) exist and that it’s SO FREAKING EASY to not include effects in your media that will send them straight to hell

we went from early 2000s “we are all petrified of another Pokémon Shock incident so let’s be nice to the people whose brains can’t handle the flashes” to “nearly every movie and tv show has a flashing lights warning crowdsourced on social media and games have been so emboldened to not give a fuck that we had a game with a literal seizure inducing machine built in”. I literally do not get to watch anything on launch day anymore unless I think it’s worth the extremely non zero chance of having up to a week of pain so bad it can make me faint.

what the absolute fuck happened??

a warning to other native folks who may be interested in the barbie movie

there is a scene in which the patriarchys effect on the barbies is directly compared to the effect of smallpox on indigenous peoples. if this makes you uncomfortable as it did me do not feel obligated to watch it. a lot of white people are pressuring native people to watch and see for themselves if it makes them uncomfortable. do not feel that you have to if you think it will negatively impact you. we know what hurts us.

and please note i am not attacking the movie or calling the writers terrible, i am not commanding you dont see the movie. this is a warning post for NATIVE FOLKS who are fully capable of making their own decisions.

Oh my god I’ll keep an eye out for fundraisers but my hometown is in flames.. they think it might all be gone.

I saw the pictures. Lahaina is burning down. Keep Hawai’i in your thoughts. I’ll post a fundraiser when I see veritable ones on Facebook from my friends.
