If you have questions about posting, see the FAQ here.
Festivids uses the following content notes:
Physical triggers: visual triggers (e.g. strobe lights, bright flashing lights, "stuttery" cuts between 2-3 stills) and auditory triggers (e.g. sudden changes of volume, gunshots, high pitched noises). If you would like examples of visual triggers, the BentoVid Vidding Photosenitivity Relay page contains examples.
Content notes: Animal Harm; Blackface/Brownface/Redface; Blood/Gore [significant amounts]; Depictions of Police; Holocaust and/or Nazi Imagery; Incest; Queerphobia [depictions of queerphobia/homophobia or queerphobic violence]; Racism [depictions of racism and/or racist violence]; Self-harm; Suicide; Transphobia [depictions of transphobia and/or transphobic violence].
If you’re not sure whether your vid needs one of these content notes, the mods can help - contact us at fest...@gmail.com or in comments here.
Vids will go through moderation before appearing (unrevealed and anonymous) in the collection. Don't be alarmed if your vid is waiting in the moderation queue for a few days or even longer! We always wait until there are several vids in the queue before approving any, to help with anonymity.
