Depending on the individual and severity, yeah. I have a sibling who is fine with flashing lights up to a rather high point, but another friend who also has this is much more vulnerable to it, even flashing lights in a relatively small section of the screen (sudden lights in a dark environment in the background, for example, while their character sits in a lit area) while playing a game.
Comment on Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures?

Isn’t it possible for epilepsie to be induced by strobe lights? And that is a type of seizure, right? So I would imagine other types of seizures could also have triggers. Definitely not a doctor though, so I might be completely mistaken.

For some people but it’s very rare. My great uncle had photosensitivity epilepsy and when he was pissed at us he’d turn his TV on to a channel that only produced static and he’d stare at it to trigger seizures.

Wow… That’s some Twilight Zone stuff. I’m sorry.
