Hate that me pointing out that spiderverse isn't safe is being misconstrued into people thinking I hate it.
I loved the first movie, my head got fuzzy at points but I could still watch it. I mourned for my friends who couldn't because the animation was beautiful and the story touching. I worried for those who had to avoid the internet due to bad tagging.
I need sunglasses and the room to be bright as hell to watch just the trailers of the second film. I can't fully appreciate the art because more than anything I'm mourning the people who would love to see it but can't. I'm scared for the bad tagging again.
Bright glitchy colors give me debilitating migraines. For some it's deadly seizures.
We have every right to be upset that one of the most popular films right now is inaccessible to us to certain degrees. We have every right to be upset that there was NO WARNING on these triggers.
Accessibility is important: in food, housing, jobs, and art. You can make art that triggers migraines and seizures but God damn it, it's not that hard to warn people about it.
If your enjoyment of a film is ruined by a warning then you're a fucking loser. People's lives are more important than your movie, sorry but it's true.
she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”
