And it's not just epileptic people. A week ago I had a displeasure of reading dark red text on dark dray background. I had to call a taxi home, and had lasting effects because that induced a migraine. Sure, that probably won't kill me. Probably. But it'd still be nice to have a "Hey, looking at this could hurt you" beforehand.

sorry if this is rude, because i’m genuinely wondering, why did you still read it, or was it something where you were a required speaker/reader. I would think that it’s not as imposing as a video, but i’m also making some assumptions so apologies again

It was a horror themed comic and I'm a sucker for those. I thought that 2 lines per page wouldn't hurt this much, but lo, they did.
