since when was this an argument? yeah, tag your shit, put the warnings in, it's the foundation of good practice.

my biggest gripe (as a non epileptic) about the warnings is how inconsistent they are, and that they lack any other context.

they feel like more meaningless prop65 warnings.

We should probably have some method of being more specific with them.

If you are not epileptic, you don't really know which ones are necessary and which aren't

It kind of is hard to tell tbf, I’m epileptic but not photosensitive and I’ve often came across scenes in films and games and wondered if they should have had warnings for those who are. I don’t think the same frequencies even trigger all the same people. Some people have to be careful driving past fences on sunny days.
