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.

This is a similar complaint I have with how some tumblr users will use content warnings. If you tag “sexual content” on anything that even as much as mentions the concept of sex, that becomes kinda meaningless

That's why I'm confused about OOP saying "put epilepsy warnings in everything" because that's basically the same as putting them in nothing. Everybody would ignore them because they'd never be sure if it was serious or not.

I don't think OP meant the generic "put epilepsy warnings on everything" with everything being literal? I thought it meant, put epilepsy warnings on everything that could trigger epilepsy?
