They are actually a known trigger for people with epilepsy and migraine disorder and many other neuro conditions. I don't like that the only way to get rid of them is to get rid of all avatars bc they are helpful as identifiers. Considering the point of this website and the connection to health, I'd think a little more concern for accessibility would be warranted. But it's an ableist world we live in...sigh...I dunno, maybe bringing it to people's attention here might change their mind about using them, out of consideration for their PC friends?
