WisCon 36 vid party: warnings information

[futuransky]

This is an online version of the handout we're providing at the party.

The Vid Party provides trigger warnings as an accessibility measure. Our warnings are intended to help attendees manage their risk if they are subject to common psychological or physical triggers. These warnings are not intended as a "rating" or censorship measure.



Psychological triggers
We warn for: Sexual assault and coercion; abusive relationships; suicide and self-harm; extreme violence or gore; torture, police brutality, and institutional violence.

We don't warn for: Nudity; sexual activity; non-heteronormative sexuality; general violence including action sequences, shooting, martial arts, etc; explicit language; other "mature" themes.

Physical triggers

We warn for: Strobing and flashing effects, very fast cutting, "shaky cam", other effects or source material deemed likely to trigger seizures or migraines.

We don't warn for: Incidental bright lights in source (eg. explosions); also please note that vids are by their nature bright and fast-moving, so we only warn for those that are particularly so.



We've listed the point at which the vids appear in each of the four shows. The full playlist, posted on the door of the party suite, should help you figure out where we're up to.

Although we have done our best to provide adequate warning for the content of all the vids, we cannot guarantee to have caught everything. Nor can we promise total consistency or objectivity, though we did our best. Please feel free to talk to the organisers (Alexis, Gretchen, or Sandy) if you have any questions or need more information about any particular vid.

We have printed only a limited number of these handouts which are available in the kitchen of the con suite. If you are done reading, or don't need the handout for reference, please replace it in the kitchen so someone else can use it.

I would have subbed a couple of vids as well, but due to medical issues, I was unconscious during the submission window. Still, I hope everyone has a hellaciously good time.
Any chance the vidshow will be listed with links? I'd love to catch a whiff of that Wiscon mojo.
