OK, in general I agree with the premise of your dissertation in regard to the nanny state culture and having to modify the world for the few to benefit the few at the expense of the many. I have always had issues with that type of mentality.
Having said that, I had no clue that there was a high contrast strobe sequence that lasted for a minute or more and as a person who suffers from migraines and has a daughter that also has the same affliction - both of us having sensitivity to bright/flashing/strobing lights I do appreciate the warning/awareness.
Yes I would probably shut my eyelids and cover my eyes with my hands, but how do I then know when I can open them - how do I know how long the sequence lasts - there are myriad considerations. Sometimes a mere second of exposure to bright lights or the sun will set off a migraine for me, other times I can handle it fairly well. I do not always know what my exposure limitation is at every given second.
I modify my lifestyle to deal with it, I don’t expect anyone else to modify theirs for me. When I get a warning such as this; the first thing I think is “good to know, glad I found out beforehand”. Does Disney or anyone else NEED to warn me? No, but it is appreciated.
Did the blogger get a bit carried away and expect too much? I suppose it is debatable either way, but I would tend to agree that we don’t need some massive to-do about it.
Fair enough. I’m glad that reasoned debate can survive and even thrive here.
