Epileptic Flashing Lights | comment |
It seems that whenever something or someone goes haywire, fails or is about to explode, light is going to flash rapidly, randomly and brightly, whether it originates from buttons, lamps, screens or even eyes and orifices. Justified in failing lightbulbs and warning lamps, but may otherwise lead to moments of failed awesomeness. Intense flashing effects are generally more common in older works, due to society becoming more concerned about this trope over time. Works which are intended to be disorienting and/or were made for the art are especially prone to this, as are (more contemporary) horror and science fiction genres. Many film and video game creators believe that everything is better with flashing, even though it's not always that awesome. Also contributing to this is that flashing tends to be one of the easiest visual effects to achieve. Older video games in particular often employed flashing screen effects because color-cycling demands so little processing power; since advances in graphic technology have discredited this excuse, toning down flashing lights or patterns that could trigger seizures has become one of the few alterations routinely made to classic games in official emulated re-releases such as on the Virtual Console. Not in any way related to Epileptic Trees, and only tangentially related to Strobing. Compare to Power Glows, where light produces a positive effect, and Glowing Eyes of Doom, which implies imminent evil rather than imminent (self)destruction. See also Brown Note, Red Alert, Technicolor Death, Stop Motion Lighting, Blinding Camera Flash, and Throat Light. May fall under Sensory Abuse. Subtrope of Sensory Overload. This is a common feature of the Phonýmon trope. Truth in Television, but only for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy can look at flashing lights with impunity and only have to watch out for things that physically affect their brain chemistry (such as acute stress, sleep deprivation, substance use, etc.). Contrast Epileptic-Friendly Filter, which exists to avert this trope. It probably goes without saying, but anyone who actually has photosensitive epilepsy or is otherwise harmed by flashing lights should avoid any external links on this page and especially avoid any links to YouTube, Vimeo, or other video-hosting sites found here. Don't add video examples to this page, either! |

Averted somewhat in WipEout HD. When Sony went to test the game, it came back delayed because it didn't pass the "epilepsy test" that it give to every game. Although many don't pass the first time, Wipeout HD got notoriety for it due to a few reasons. For one, it was a much hyped game that had people waiting to buy it. Secondly, the game was to come out for the PlayStation 3, which struggled to gain friends in the gaming media at the time, making some jump on the opportunity to rant on Sony more. Third, the reason for the failure got severely nerfed as a result. The reason? In the game's "Zone Mode", the race tracks had an equalizer effect that moved to whatever music that was being played at the time while each zone changed the type of color scheme, as well. The effect got removed in favor of a "pulse" effect that made the entire road area of the track flash faintly. | |

Technology Connections: Flashing lights occasionally happen in these videos, but Alec will always give an epilepsy warning before it happens. And the flashing usually involves filming a CRT with a mismatched shutter speed. Technology Connections: "How Analog Color TV Works: The Beginnings" is possibly the oldest known epilepsy warning on the channel. It was to demonstrate how irritating a sequential color wheel TV would be to view if each color field was 1/30th of a second. "LCCS: The CRT / LCD Hybrid from JVC" has an epilepsy warning for a slow motion shot of the titular display. "Film: the reason some of the past us in HD" has an epilepsy warning at the beginning, for 5:40 and 8:30. Both of these involve flickering CRTs. Technology Connextras: "Filming CRTs: It's pretty easy, actually" has an epilepsy warning when it's about to show a CRT filmed with a smartphone camera. |

Although most of Samurai Jack does not use extreme flashing, the sequence where Jack is sent to the future shows him on a black and white flashing spiral background. And since it's a basic part of the premise of the series, it's also included in the series' intro. | |

Sonic 3 & Knuckles uses a variety of flashing effects for assorted things in the game, such as the electric hazards in Death Egg Zone (which flash white when electrified), part of the backdrop of the slot machine bonus stage (which flashes white when the slot machine's reels spin, and fills most of the screen during that time), nearly everything in the pachinko bonus stage, and Hyper Sonic (who flashes pastel colors constantly and has an attack which causes the screen to flash). Losing a Lightning Shield by touching water also causes a quick full-screen flash of white. | |

On the season 10 The Simpsons episode "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo", Bart watches a robot anime, recognizing it as "that cartoon that causes seizures".note A parody and reference to the Pokémon example above Sure enough, the show has flashing lights that give Bart, Lisa, and Marge seizures (Homer initially fakes it because he sees everyone else on the floor doing it). When it cuts to commercial, everyone is fully recovered from it. When it comes back from commercial, everyone starts seizing again. To drive the point further home, the cartoon is called "Battling Seizure Robots". | |

Hi-5: The opening version of the video for the song "Action Hero" from Series 7, features some of the most flashy, intense visual effects to ever be appear on the show. It's unusual for Hi-5 to begin with, as most special effects are usually held for the version of a song video used at the end of a given episode. The flashing disco ball at the very beginning of the song doesn't help matters. There's a similar problem with the remake from Series 16; the flashing is in the background, but it's still problematic. It's clear an effort was made to avoid this when the song was adapted for the American version of the show, and the other foreign counterpart groups didn't use it at all. | |

In beatmania, the highest rank of note hit accuracy is a Just Great / P-Great / Perfect Great, which is indicated by the text "GREAT" flashing in pink and cyan rather than being colored a static yellow for a regular Great. Fortunately the flashing effect covers a small enough portion of the screen that it shouldn't be a problem for many players. | |

Half-Life and its expansions (barring Half-Life: Opposing Force) employ a flashing green light effect whenever the player character travels through a dimensional portal. In the base game the effect is brief enough that it isn't irritating, but in Blue Shift and Decay it remains on screen for several seconds at a time, and it's used in rapid succession at the very end of both titles as the protagonists are stuck repeatedly teleporting due to harmonic refluxes. | |

Oh God, Taz-Mania, and that intro to the show. Three times, when the song goes into its chorus "Come to Tazmania", the show title in its brown stick font flies in every which way as the screen flashes many different colors. It's possible the "Electric Soldier Porygon" incident is why the show was in Keep Circulating the Tapes territory for a few years. To rectify this, CBBC created their own version of the intro when they aired the show in the early 2000's, that removes all the flashing. The reason for this? As it's a British broadcaster, it runs in the faster PAL format (speeding the episodes up to fit 30fps into 25fps), so the flashing would have been even worse. The intro is missing a few lines because of this though. |

Anpanman uses this technique at in the early days of both the show and movie runs to give the illusion of a knockout effect, mainly if someone or something gets punched. For the show, they would use two stills of different color knockout stars and flash them for a millisecond and use lightning strobe effects for lightning. The movies would be a bit more fancy on just intense strobe lights. This changed after the Porygon incident as the company wanted to prevent getting in trouble with parents as like with Pokemon, kids watch Anpanman and don't want to risk them having seizures (though this wasn't changed until three months after 1998 started, which was after the incident). For the show, there ere two new techniques they did. The first was just used a still image with it being shaken up (sometime after episode 464), though it was still stroby as there's a millesecond of a black screen before the shaken image. Starting with 469 (Creampanda's debut episode), another technique was created where the stars would be animated flying all over. However, this was changed for home video releases for 518a to 587b (the last couple episodes of the cel animated era) and a few double length episodes where they simplified it by just showing the two stills for 3-5 seconds each for unknown reasons. While this was safer, the show felt like it was more limited in terms of animation. Once the show started using digital ink, if machinery's involved, a smoke explosion's used instead. The movies would simply avoid using strobe effects, or if they do would simply make it darker. They would sometimes use a still knockout image and just move it around. | |

Beat Hazard and its Ultra companion (that's also now out for the PS3 now, as well) is basically epilepsy, now available in video game format. The game, at the beginning, has a specific warning that that particular game uses intense strobe lighting effects. This game uses it to a fault, to the point where TotalBiscuit, who once praised the game, changed his opinion on it due to it just being too much, and when the game was featured on a video on his channel, he made sure people were aware of the risks before moving on with the video. | |

Randy Orton is known in part due to his entrance and Rev Theory's "Voices". When the bridges are played (between each verse and the ensuing chorus), the minitrons suddenly flashes bright white flicker light whenever a high chord is played (the trons are initially deep orange). Though you'd think this would cause people fits, this actually is one of the more popular aspects of his entrance. So much so that people actually complained when it wasn't included in one of the WWE games. | |

Incredibles 2: Social media health watchdogs expressed concerns, and Disney subsequently issued warnings, that Screenslaver's mind-control hypnosis makes use of patterned strobe effects that could trigger seizures in epileptic viewers. The theatrical release and 4K Ultra HD movie case include a warning due to this. Regardless, the strobe effect is not present for the movie's DVD and Blu-ray releases. | |

There was a bug in the beta of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria that made one of the new mounts travel at a breakneck pace, making everything around it go crazy. Many players dubbed the mount (a ride-able phoenix mount) the "seizure bird" because what they saw was rather similar to the Porygon incident. Others, though, thought it was just a mount taking acid. Obviously, this was a bug, as there was no mount speed increase announced for Mists of Pandaria. | |

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has Glimmer's Galleon, the level where Glimmer the anglerfish provides a cone-shaped beam of light in an otherwise dark level. The issue arises in whenever Diddy/Dixie changes direction, in which case Glimmer will also turn around and flash the screen with blinding white for one frame. Seeing as you'll have to turn around a lot to beat this level, it's very unpleasant to play for this reason alone. Modern rereleases (such as for the Virtual Console or Nintendo Switch Online) remove the flash. | |

Static Shock uses flashing effects somewhat frequently, usually for the protagonist's electrical powers. Most of the flashes are fairly benign, but sometimes the screen will flash white rapidly for several seconds, and the intro used for the first two seasons goes so far as to include a shot where the background flashes blue, white, and orange very rapidly while the camera slowly zooms in on Static, and continues to flash until the camera has zoomed in far enough that his face fills the screen completely. The intro for the third and fourth seasons, which the series switched to in order to reflect major status quo changes, includes a similar zooming shot to that of the first intro which noticeably lacks the original's strobe effect. | |

EarthBound was known for its flashy PSI effects. Amusingly enough, it could be reasoned that PSI Flash destroys some enemies in-game by inflicting this on them. The effects were so common and so complex that manually adjusting them was infeasible, keeping the game from seeing any re-releases (barring a Japan-only Compilation Re-release on the GBA) until the 2013 Virtual Console release, when Nintendo finally solved the problem by adding a blur filter that activates in response to rapid image changes. | |

Homestuck uses rapidly alternating and often brightly colored animation fairly often in .gif panels and fully animated sequences, but some are more extreme than others: The only known time photosensitive readers have repeatedly reported problems is the second intermission's Flash animation, which caused multiple reports of headaches; it's safe to view it on YouTube, though, as the site's compression pretty much destroys the framerate to the point where it's not a problem. The animation itself features large amounts of dramatic lightning, and focuses on Lord English, who is heavily associated with certain kinds of flashing which are at their most extreme and often encompass the entire screen in that particular animated sequence. Rapidly flashing lights are notably used in the Flash "[S] Jade: Wake up", to the point of it falling under this trope, but Andrew Hussie made sure to construct it so as to avoid triggering seizures despite the rapid flashing. The character of Sollox has telekinesis and Eye Beams which flash red and blue when used. |

GaoGaiGar is an interesting example in that it was airing contemporaneously with the classic Pokémon example. Its first half features a number of flashing lights of this sort, especially when the villains are engaging in Omniscient Council of Vagueness shenanigans. Right around the end of the first arc and into the beginning of the second, though, you notice a massive reduction in such effects... as these episodes entered production after the Pokémon scandal (see below) hit, resulting in Sunrise hastily re-storyboarding new episodes to avoid such effects. | |

The Nostalgia Critic: The review of The Neverending StoryIII has a point where the Critic criticized the cheap transport effect, saying that "you could get a seizure traveling that way." The effect itself uses rapid zooming in and out and bright white flashes. Tame compared to some sequences, but still rather annoying. Doug had to put a seizure warning in at the start of the Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer review; the rapid flashing red and green lights in the "I Fucking Love Christmas" song can be a trigger for epileptics. |

Happens earlier when she gets kidnapped, using various cuts to lightening flashing overhead. "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" uses this in one shot when the gnome is singing. It's the reason the episode wasn't shown on Cartoon Network and is only available on DVD. |

Their Equalizer Grenades are basically flashbangs which, after researches on shapeshifters are designed to cause seizure on parts of the brain in control of shapeshifting.

Th3Birdman had to include a warning in his "Everything Wrong With CinemaSins: Hercules" video note Video link starts at the beginning, so epileptics are safe starting it at the beginning. Just heed that warning.. At, per his timecode, a minute and 55 seconds into the video, the entire screen just suddenly flashes a bright white rapidly for about a second (ironically while Birdman is letting Jeremy talk about some weird thing involving strobes at a roller rink). Not sure where this came from, even, since it never occurs in the actual film, and it would make a ton of people lose it. It was either from Jeremy's or Birdman's editing not being able to do anything about it.note Probably Jeremy seeing this could have been one of the many small mistakes he's left into his videos. | |

In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, the screen flashes as bosses die. When Link dies, the screen flashes multiple colours save for Link's black silhouette. These effects have been considerably toned down in rereleases, however.note There's a technicality that goes with this, however, in that some games that have a neon-chroma pattern flash (red, yellow, blue, green) that could show the way it was intended on a TV screen (thus not as bad) will get into seizure inducing when someone posts it on - YouTube or any other video host that forces videos to a specific framerate. Usually this is a good thing to tame such issues in these cases, but when it destroys THAT pattern, it actually makes it WORSE! The earlier Zelda games featured some of these that get translated badly when you see videos of, say, the ending of the first The Legend of Zelda, or the final boss in Zelda II, or the beginning of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. On a TV screen, the colors flash too rapidly and in such a pattern that it wouldn't be too much of a concern (might catch you off guard, but no serious concern), whereas if you viewed the very same thing on YouTube, it would give you a sodding headache because it can't display all the colors in the pattern, so it only displays certain colors in the pattern...and it always seems to make the flash much more seizure inducing. | |

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Similar to Incredibles 2, people have expressed concerns over several sequences of flashing lights seen throughout the film (the first of which is during the opening logos, which start to flash pretty intensely not even a minute into the film — the variants used suffer from Reality Bleed and rapidly change in and out of their alternate-universe forms, giving them a very glitchy appearance). Unfortunately, the one thing this doesn't have in common with Incredibles 2 is that Sony never issued any official warnings for it; it didn't stop people from starting several petitions online to get them to add a warning, though, and certain theaters took to placing warnings in their buildings themselves. | |

Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue uses screen flashes as part of the animation for several moves, including Thunderbolt, Body Slam, and Hyper Beam. Due to how frames tend to blur together somewhat on the original Game Boy's screen, this was not quite as bad on original hardware as it is on later devices. Some of the flashy move animations, which can get rather extreme on the original Japanese games, were severely toned down for the international releases and Yellow because of the anime adaptation's infamous Porygon incident and the introduction of the Game Boy Color. | |

In Shovel Knight, after defeating a boss in Shovel of Hope, the background cycles bright rainbow colors for a few seconds. The cycling is just slow enough that photo-sensitive people shouldn't be at risk, though the lightning flashes in The Lich Yard could potentially be dangerous. Both can be disabled in the option menu. | |

Averted in the film of The Andromeda Strain. Ruth Leavitt is epileptic and suffers a petit mal seizure when looking at a flashing light. However, the light isn't flashing nearly fast enough to cause a seizure in real life. (See also Literature below.) This was probably intentional to avoid affecting the audience in the same way. | |

Magical Drop III has Magician's "Magical Flash" chain animation, which causes his field to flash white and black with enough intensity to give instant headaches the first time that you see it. Given that this is a game where you're expected to be chaining continuously, it makes Magician nearly unplayable. Oddly, Magical Drop II's rendition has no flash whatsoever. | |

Saturday Night Live: The March 17th, 2018 episode had Arcade Fire as the musical guest. During the performance of their first song, "Creature Comfort", they employed a ton of strobe lighting effects that would melt an epileptic. In fact, the Live From New York subreddit had quite a few people saying that the lighting caused some headaches. Wasn't the first time an SNL musical guest used strobe lighting (The Weeknd had a similar stage setup that had a milder form of it for "False Alarm"), but this was much more intense. Strangely, NBC did apologize for cutting off the beginning of Arcade Fire's second song, but not for the seizure inducing lights that accompanied the first song (that was much more threatening to those viewing it). | |

Plenty of entries at the Eurovision Song Contest love to lay on the flashing lights and LEDs, particularly rock songs (Iceland's 2019 entry "Hatrid mun sigra" had so many that the official video of their performance on the Eurovision YouTube channel couldn't completely render them). The biggest example would probably be Georgia's 2016 entry, "Midnight Gold" by Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz, which cranks up the flashing lights and really fast cuts starting around the song's bridge. The BBC's commentator, Graham Norton, even said (in effect), "We know we always warn you about strobe lights when they come up, but this is on another level!" (Of course, ironically enough, the British jury would later award Georgia their twelve points!). | |

Before Hanna-Barbera whored out the Justice League during the '70s and '80s in just about every variety imaginable (as in, before the DC Animated Universe made everything okay again), Filmation tried their luck at the Justice League and Teen Titans. Their intros to those shows? Announcing all of the heroes as the 70s shows did later on, only while each hero demonstrated their power and strength against an ever-strobing background of whatever color pattern they chose for that show. Yep, there's a reason those can only be found by landing a rare hit on YouTube. | |

The Dead Space series has flickering lights in quite a few areas (mostly in the first game). Most notable is in Chapter 6 of the first game: a screen is flickering very rapidly (right after killing the second huge tentacle Necromorph that grabs you). The reason this is most notable is because on it is code for how to read the texts on the walls that are in a weird language. Perhaps having a seizure is the only way to know the truth about The Marker. | |

Meg Myers' cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" has a rotoscoped Animated Music Video in which each frame is a "coloring book page" psychedelically colored in with crayons by elementary school students, resulting in an epileptic's nightmare. Luckily, a warning is shown beforehand. | |

Pokémon: The Series will forever be haunted by the episode "Electric Soldier Porygon", which leaned so far into this trope that it caused a massive scandal. It aired only once on December 16, 1997, and only in Japan. Several scenes in the episode contain red-and-blue flashing lights; the most infamously dangerous scene lasts for a full four seconds, incorporates white and dark purple into the strobe effect alongside the red and blue, and has the effect fill most of the screen (initially the entire screen, before the camera moves). The flashing lights caused seven hundred kids to have seizures, about 135 of which had to be hospitalized. The episode was never aired anywhere else in the world, everyone involved pretends it never existed, and holds the world record of most seizures induced by a television show. As a result of this, Pokémon was taken off the air for four months, and Porygon has never had a huge role in any episode since, despite the creature in question not being the source of the flashing lights (which were caused by missiles and Pikachu's electric attacks). Soon after the airing of the episode, several news outlets in Japan aired the offending segment again as part of stories covering the incident, causing even more seizures. The reaction flooded to other anime, as studios sought to make sure such an incident never happened again industry-wide, employing new restrictions on what patterns and effects can be displayed on TV. All sequences that employed flashing effects or complex patterns (such as stripes, whirls, and concentric circles) were slowed, downsized, and shortened to more acceptable levels and lengths. Some series even dim the colors right when the scene is about to get particularly flashy and children's shows usually come with a warning to watch in a well-lit area at a safe distance from the TV. | |

Sailor Moon: In-universe, when Ami is introduced, the Monster of the Day, Garoben, in a disguise, mentioned that that day's assignment is to be done via a disc. Ami remarks that she always gets headaches whenever she uses the disc. The disc ends up being just a very faint blue strobe that fills up an entire computer screen. After having the students surround Sailor Moon when she shows up, Garoben sticks Ami's face into the monitor, only for there to be no effect (the sequence itself is actually tame on people watching the scene). It's also the scene in which it is revealed that Ami is Sailor Mercury. Many will cite the MOTD death scenes in Super S as actually being seizure inducing, as the Lemure would be shown in front of a flashing background before being destroyed. Sailor Moon wasn't one to fall victim to the trope as it rarely did have any very intense sequences, but the red/white effect got to near Porygon-level danger. Some parts of Sailor Jupiter and Mars' deaths in the first season finale contained this. The former had flashes of lightning going off constantly, while the latter had rapid red and white flashing. |

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, the screen rapidly flashes white during the cutscene where the True Final Boss appears. Additionally, the Hyper Zone's alternate color palette, used in Boss Butch mode, gives the area a bright yellow background with vivid red and blue clouds, which can scroll rapidly enough to resemble this trope. Rereleases tone down the flashes in the aforementioned cutscene and change the Hyper Zone's red and blue colors to a far more subdued yellow and green scheme (with the additional benefit of making Zero's red projectiles more visible when used there). | |

The Problem Solverz is rather infamous for its bright and flashy animation style, to the point where The Mysterious Mr. Enter put an epilepsy warning before his review of the show and mentioned that he could only watch a few minutes at a time due to headaches caused by the visuals.

White lights flash very rapidly on the entrance stage whenever John Cena comes out to his theme. Cena usually says something to the camera before coming off the stage and running to the ring, which usually means having to see a few more seconds of the effect. This was made somewhat worse after Raw 1000. The WWE debuted a new set that featured circular pillars with lights every 10 feet or so that can also strobe when they want them to, which they "want them to" during Cena's entrance. And when Cena says his spiel to the camera, the camera is usually somehow pointing straight towards one of the strobe lights. | |

The bizarre adventure game Total Distortion is replete with flashing effects throughout the Distortion Dimension, including the footage you record for music videos, but special mention goes to a part where the player must activate a Television Portal to enter a maze. When it turns on, the screen fills with a rapidly strobing vortex of colors for about thirty seconds, and the maze itself is full of trippy, pulsing backgrounds. Worse, due to a speed bug from Macromedia Director, the flashing increases when run on faster systems. | |
