Honestly the thing that has me ANGRIEST about all this Cyberpunk 2077 stuff is NOT the fact that they included the kind of flashing lights used by nurologists to actively trigger seizures as part of an evaluation.
It's not the people sending videos with flashing lights as a means of punishing those who speak out.
No, those have become regular every day occurrences for us.
It's the people acting as though the rage of disabled people is uncalled for. I'm SORRY if this is the FIRST TIME you've heard about media using extreme flashing lights. But how is YOUR IGNORANCE our fault? OF COURSE we're gonna be using hyperbole here!
Do I think that the developers sat down and went "How can we kill disabled people?" No. I don't think they did. Were they absolutly 100% aware of the potential consequences of their actions and still went ahead with them? OF COURSE THEY WERE!!!
"Flashing Lights Causes Seizures" is NOT news!!! We've known about it for DECADES! Yet they still went ahead and made this game with those features. So YES I think we're WELL within our rights to claim that this was a deliberate attempt to cause seizures, because there is no ignorance here. It's apathy. They decided that their Aesthetic was worth more than the lives of photosensitive people because, yes, seizures can kill you. All it takes is one fall and a fractured skull and that's IT!
And a reminder: Lots of people are not aware of their seizure threshold until they're waking up in hospital.
If minorities are angry, maybe remember that they have a REASON to be and don't belittle us with your holier than thou attitude.
People have been....grargh. RAGE.
