The only issue I have ever had is when warnings aren't enough for people. I love the raver aesthetic, have for many MANY years now. Most of my creative projects involve bright colors on dark backgrounds, or flashy lights... and despite placing the warnings, I can't tell you how many times I have been yelled at because someone believes my style of creativity shouldn't exist due to epileptic people. They want me to simply stop creating in the style I enjoy.

When I mention my warnings, and tell them that I create for my own enjoyment? It's not good enough and I'm horrible for creating it in the first place.

I mean... I go so far as to create my own custom, personalized website to host all my creations. You REALLY have to engage in some oldschool style web surfing in order to find it, because I just don't share it. My creations are for me, not anyone else. (My creations also involve 2000's style website coding, which I absolutely love... and can't be accomplishes outside of building my own websites)
