- pickdenis 7y agoHonestly, reading this article was the first time I saw a documented case of strobes causing seizures. It's possible (and this is purely speculation) that the attacker sent the strobe to give some comedic punch to the statement "you deserve a seizure" not expecting or hoping that it would actually cause a seizure.
- krapp 7y ago>Honestly, reading this article was the first time I saw a documented case of strobes causing seizures It's been common knowledge at least since the Porygon episode of Pokemon[0] in the late 90s. >It's possible (and this is purely speculation) that the attacker sent the strobe to give some comedic punch to the statement "you deserve a seizure" not expecting or hoping that it would actually cause a seizure. It's possible but knowing people and the internet, it's more likely they were hoping an actual seizure would be the "comedic punch."
