There are a lot of gifs with bright, flashing colors, and many of the animations have them as well. There is a way around it, though- the Accessible Homestuck Project (accessiblehomestuckproject.tumblr.com) has image descriptions for most of the comic right now (and hopefully will be all of it, eventually), so you can know exactly what's going on without being exposed to strobes.

Mild flashing lights. I do not think photosensitive watchers need to be concerned but still exercise caution.

Near the end of the movie when the old lady takes Barbie's hands and tells her to close her eyes there's a montage of people in various stages of light that has a shifting light effect that could be troublesome for photosensitive viewers. When the characters start talking again you'll know it's over

Apart from the main film, the very beginning's logo flashes are similar to a strobe effect. It's the only bit of the film that triggered my migraines, which strobe lights usually do.

At an hour and a half in, there's a scene (starting when Evelyn holds a baseball bat) that's nearly a minute of flashing shots of Michelle Yeoh, who also screams for the last few seconds of that sequence. It's startling and could prove overwhelming, especially in IMAX.

I don't have epilepsy so I might miss subtler triggers, but I started keeping a log when I noticed blatant strobing in s2e4, will update as I continue watching.
Season 2 episode 4: Strong strobing lights starting around 14:00 (after a character is given an injection) and ending at around 15:50 (should be safe to look when you hear a character say "photosensitive epilepsy").
Season 2 episode 7: flashing lights starting a bit after 4:10 (dialogue: "I could hear his voice, but I couldn't see his face") and continues for a few seconds (should be safe to look when you hear "Why didn't he kill you"). And again a bit after 6:25 (no dialogue, Hannibal looks directly into the camera) for a few seconds (until you hear “It’s not him”). And again at about 22:20 (“And his voice, low and even, would pull me to him”) until about 22:43 (“You and I...are part of his design”). Again after 27:30 (“Would you like to try?”) until about 28:40 (“We found a fingerprint on a flower petal"). Again around 39:10 (“Until my lawyer arrives”) until about 39:35 (furious stammering/sobbing). And lastly, some mild flickering from a fireplace at the very end, around 42:20 (“...my therapy) until the credits roll (all sound cuts out, then is replaced by irregular percussion-dominated music).

S02E05 - very intense, direct, sudden strobe after hard cut, around 6min mark, right after Homelander shuts trailer door, for about two minutes. There is no epilepsy warning before the show or any ease-in before scene, if not for a friend who saw it earlier and warned me it would give me seizure as there is no time for reaction and closing one/both eyes is not enough to block it - it is INTENSE.
