Apparently some Antis had the idea to DM zoos epilepsy inducing images. Trying to give epileptic Zoos seizures. So, if you receive an image via DMs, and are epileptic, DO NOT VIEW THE MESSAGE.
Health warning for anyone who has epilepsy and openly admits to being Zoo on Twitter.

why would you "openly admit to being a zoo on twitter" to begin with?

Even if you don't have Twitter you should still be prepared if they ever decide to infiltrate here, the site isn't exactly well hidden, and we all know that Antis can be damn persistent when it comes to discrimination.

It sounds paranoid to me.
To my knowledge an images can’t induce seizure.
Some people are sensitive for flickering light / videos. In fact while recording an ElectroEncephalogram they use flickering light and (strange) sleep to test if it can provoke abnormal pattern.
This came in mind.
While I keep a steady look in the middle, the video shows a slow rotating spiral.
And when it stops and look at my hand or a face, then it suddenly is distorting for a few seconds.
Why ? Our vision tries all the time to maintain some sort of equality.

I imagine he means animated images; .gif files for example. A simple flashing animation is trivial to make and there aren't a lot of protections against them.
Oddly enough, there is a somewhat large number of zoos on Twitter. A lot of them, your "zoo advocate" types. Give a platform for those that wish to speak, and they will speak. From what I've heard, the atmosphere there is about/if not more so, toxic than the dumpster fire here. But I tend to stay off of Twitter because fuck them. I created an account years and years ago and have maybe logged in out of curiosity about 6 or 7 times.
The last time I was on Twitter was for the whole Sappho mess, and luckily I didn't have to login to see it, since her account was public.

Because a disability isn't a reason to stop living the way you want. The risks of photosensitive epilepsy can be mitigated, through medicine and behaviour, but if you try to bubble-wrap yourself then you'll be missing out on a lot the world has to offer.

Quit funny, what you look at seems to shrink, the centre getting smaller.

On Firefox based browsers there's an about:config setting that can disable all image animations, and there's extensitions that do the same available for chromium browsers.
Anyone with such a sensativity should definitely be doing that as a matter of accessibility. I despise looping images so did so myself.
Clip is quite lame.

Twitter never appealed to me. short messages about what? your food? getting the mail? it just seems to appear when something is going viral for some reason. a witch hunt base or something.
