not to be a complete dick or anything, but uhhhhhh okay the Other Half of The Egg is epileptic. I don't like loud noises or icky monsters. They make me twitch and want to hide under things in the non-cute, unhumorous way

I feel like as a disabled person it's my responsibility to be proactive about my own mental and physical health
Seconded. It's not fun to have to pass on things because of the potential for problems but that's life. T'ain't fair and nothing's going to change that. For the times I go ahead anyway, I plan for it. And I also plan for when I've overestimated myself.
I appreciate warnings, makes that planning easier to do, but I don't expect them.

Yeah, the physical triggers part does make me blink a lot. I don't watch enormous numbers of vids, but I'm hard-pressed to think of any modern ones that didn't involve at least some quick cuts. It's rather the nature of the medium in the digital age.
It does sound like there is some stuff they could do to accommodate people, though. For example, they apparently still use tapes, and thus there's potentially a lot of people competing for access to the copies for non-vid room viewing. It seems like changing to digital would make it easy to whip off enough copies that everyone who has physical or mental limitations that keep them out of the movie-style showings can have access right away. Plus that way people could reference specific warning lists and skip right to the ones that are okay for them, without disturbing other people by trying to pop in and out of the room every five minutes.
[I've been computerless for most of this debate, which is apparently huger than my ability to link-follow, so I preface this by saying I'm sure I'm missing some context, and feel free to tell me where to go.]
[Er, in terms of links. Not- yes.]
Okay, so 38 out of 39 might have required warnings. Would it be so bad for the list of vids to have, say, an asterisk on anything whose content might be triggering and a plus sign for anything that might be visually triggering?

And sometimes wrong. Or was it someone else who decided March of the Penguins was family film? Most depressing thing I've seen in years.
