I had a cousin die of this. His seizure was in an arcade and a doctor who was also in the arcade could do nothing to save him.

It was epileptic, not from being overwhelmed from the movie.

Obviously you don’t know anyone that has suffered seizures. It cannot be controlled if it’s going to happen. Yes there are medicines that can cut down on the frequency, but if one’s going to happen it WILL happen.

It has NOTHING to do with being a sissy. If you have the form of seizures that are triggered by flashing lights or other similar things there is nothing you can do except avoid those things. Who would think there would be something in a movie to cause a seizure?

My husband has had 2 seizures and doctors have no idea what caused them so he goes out of his way to avoid anything that could trigger them, including missing out on rides at Disney Land and Lego Land with our grandson for fear he’d have a seizure. Those rides at least have a warning for people with epilepsy.

Again, in your ignorance, you made a mistake calling people suffering seizures due to the movie sissies. Maybe you merely didn’t read the article but then please don’t comment.

Reverse Psych Marketing...reverse psych works very well when surrounded by teens and other rebels with mediocre causes.

I watched the interview with couple this morning. The dude is the kind of guy that applies moisturizer every day after shaving.

But at least he got out of having to go to those twilight movies with his wife/SO ever again.

I'd call that a win on his part.

“nation of Sissies.....

Are you serious? Flashing lights at certain rates can easily trigger seizures in people with epilepsy. There is nothing they can do to stop it.

You comment makes me believe we are more like a “nation of assholes”.

That’s not sissies, that’s epilepsy. Hit the right rhythm with sound beats or light flashes and the epileptics are hosed. Nothing they can do about it, it’s genetic.

Epileptic susceptibility to optical stimulus is real, and until one of your own dies from one of those seizures I would recommend keep your ignorance to yourself.

I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t have the guts to reply to anyone who has the disorder or anyone who had family with the condition. Pu**y. Yes you. Sissy is too good a word for you.
