Crushed between two Portals experiment

"People with apeirophobia really shouldn't watch this.
Everything has been recorded at first-person perspective. It resulted in infinite psychedelic visuals such as giant spirals, never-ending walls, and gigantic perpetual portal rooms. Scary at first when you're face to face with yourself. Such visuals potentially can trigger anxiety about mirrors and stairs to some people. There is no way to get out without restarting or using cvars. Chell doesn't die by doing this, and it looks like there's no gravity anymore.
For the record: Portals can move. In Chapter 5 (The Escape) at the thirty-third level of the game, you have to place portals onto moving panels to cut neurotoxin generator tubes by using a laser - https://youtu.be/B2gBNwT6aqU?t=2m11s - This gameplay mechanism is not activated by default, so a special command was used to achieve the experiment. I created that simple test chamber by myself in Portal 2 SDK. I will provide an download link in a few days with a readme.txt.

There are far more people in the world with epilepsy, yet the warning is about people who "fear eternity". Surely if you put up a warning, it should be for something like epilepsy rather than the 10 sjw bloggers in the world that have apeirophobia. Or claim to.

I have a phobia about being told about phobias, so that's my secret - i'm always triggered.

Really, we're doing trigger warnings in descriptions now? *sigh*

I'm triggered by your triggering trigger.

I know right. What is the world coming to where a video description has a description of what is in video. COURTESY GONE MAD. *sigh* *seriously-sigh* *sighed-so-hard-I-coughed-up-a-lung*

I know this might be hard to understand, but it could be that the warning wasn't for you, just as the video isn't for some other people. Try not to get too upset about it, cos, you know, that'd be pretty pathetic.
