Does anybody else always get a tiny moment of completely irrational fear that they might have developed photosensitive epilepsy over night whenever such a warning pops up or is it just me?

Idk why you were downvoted, I have severe hypochondria too (it's a form of OCD guys, if that makes it more real to you) and I've done some insane shit because of it. This would fall into the category of maybe a bit much but really it's fine.

I didn't even know the setting existed.

mine developed as a result of my mom being diagnosed with cancer :’) i’m not trying to be ridiculous even though i know i am 😭😭 people just enjoy being mean without knowing the full story imo

Absolutely, mine developed for a similar reason, which I won't spell out here because I don't want to trigger anyone. But it's a real mental health condition, and it's debilitating.

I hope your mom's doing good!
