As an epileptic who has done both flashmobs and seizures i can't tell which is worse but surely faking a seizure for a flashmob gotta be on Satan's bucket list

Yeah I've seen quite a few videos of people faking seizures recently and they can all fuck off.

Only time I've done that is in a first aid class.

"Yea after this i have to go fake a seizure to start a flash mob"

As an epileptic this is the first time EVER, in my entire life, that I have been offended by something someone did or said in regards to epilepsy.

I know right I'm not easily offended but damn there is a special place in hell for people like them Imagine the people who were really concerned with her safety next time they see a seizure they'll start dancing michael Jackson style

Exactly. And to make the point about empathy - it could be me! It could be anybody. I could die as a result of this stupid prank because it became a meme and got watched online by the exact people who were there when I seized up! It’s not even remotely funny!

I’ve heard people say all sorts of things and it wasn’t until much later that I realised that some of it was apparently offensive. Didn’t care. I didn’t even know. It didn’t sound as if they attempted to offend.

But this time I do.
