Unsafe Stimboards
Content Warning! |
Unsafe Stimboards are a bait and switch trend of screamers on TikTok, similar to Fake Fancams. Primarily, most of the videos of this trend show an innocent looking sensory stimboard video which then switch into a screamer, disturbing imagery, gore, self-harm and other stuff with flashing lights in it several seconds later. Individuals experiencing panic attacks, seizures, paranoia, anxiety, and even heart attacks can be triggered by watching such videos.
Explanation
Stimboards are a digital sensory board (also known as busy board) that can help people who are autistic (or people in general) to stim or even feel happy when they are overwhelmed or upset. They center around one topic, media, character or color. People additionally added the tone tags "safe/srs" or "unsafe/srs" between safe stimboards and unsafe stimboards. Primarily, it became viral on TikTok from 2022 to 2023.
