Comment from Todd in the survey:

Paraphrased: Replace phrase "strobe lights" with something like "flickering images such as animated GIFs".

Agree "strobe lights" refer to the actual lighting devices/lamps that create the flashing effect. Don't want to say "such as animated GIF's" but maybe "in animated GIF's" as GIF's themselves do not necessarily all have flashing content.

Perhaps: "Manti has photosensitive reactions to flashing content, such as rapidly flickering images on some animated GIFs." - ??

In addition to this comment I'd like to add that it's not clear to me how Manti discovers that the content she looks away from is below the threshold. [I would add this comment to the script in GitHub but I can't seem to find it so putting it here and I hope that's okay.] In any event, I think maybe it would be more realistic to say something like: There's an intro to some YouTube-like video content she doesn't have time to skip past before seeing it. At first the movement concerns her, but she realizes as she continues watching the show that no migraine came (it was below the threshold). So now she knows it's okay to view that channel's content including the intro. Sorry, didn't mean to suggest a re-write/large addition, but it didn't seem to fully flow to me in its current state.
