Iguana and Soldi LEAVE (Will of the people)

[Saltwater]

That's because it is a novelty, if we had them already, the learning process of habituation would have done its work and we wouldn't be paying any attention.
Once moved to a house which was right next to an intercity train line and while at first, I was pissed with every train passing by, after 3 days I stopped noticing if trains were passing by at all.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

It’s not because they’re a novelty, they’re just as distracting as flashing ads. It’s managable now, but what if more people used them?

It’s basically a new perverted form of reversed iconoclasm and needs to be stopped before it leads to civil war (like the Great Signature War we had in Denden in 2004 ).

Great Signature War

DON'T GIVE THESE BITCHES ANY IDEAS

What on earth next, moaning at the use of Housewives emoj-oh..

First they came for the gif avatars of Shakira shitting out a whole chicken, and I did not speak out -

 

[big ron]

If a number of people have said they cause them physical discomfort I think its a bit churlish to protest that you want to keep them just because. You behaving like a 12-year-old online isn't more important than people being physically sick.

 

[big ron]

I mean of course if thats the way people want to go then fine, but we've taken action when behaviour on here has pushed posters away, so I don't see why this is any different.

 

[big ron]

I mean I can understand them not bothering @Diddy but he lives in the Seizure inducing capital of the world so he's conditioned.

 

[Soldi]

I presumed it was just @Beverley’s avatars that are making people QUEASY

Those who opt to have GIF avatars are generally TERRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS.

It needed to be said.

 

[Soldi]

Those who opt to complain about GIF AVATARS (that don’t make them ill) are generally MOANY OLD CUNTS

It needed to be said.

 

[win_the_game]

I may be moany and a cunt, but I am most certainly not OLD.

 

[ButterTart]

I think it should be a rule that gifs are only allowed as avatars if they’re hilarious, like this:

 

[Diddy]

How about an application procedure to see if your GIF avatar is good enough

 

[Beverley]

if it was just my dancing frog and parrot ones that were the problem, i could just get rid (whilst simultaneously holding it all against you)?

 

[Beverley]

love how she threw me under the bus

Yes! But someone gets to pick an alternative static avatar and we have a referendum to see which you get landed with FOR THE REST OF TIME

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Moopy is a refuge for moany old cunts.

 

[Saltwater]

To be honest I thought this was all about that frog too.

This is fair, if someone is using them to cause harm to other posters they shouldn't be doing that - I'm not opposed to responsible gif avatar usage though. I suppose the question becomes are we capable of regulating our own use and not misusing the privilege? Very similar to the central question of the tag debate, actually...

 

[GNL]

Thinking of changing my stance now that the face of the GIFerendum is a chocobo and not a footballer.

 

[COB]

The transparent background makes it VERY pleasing to see stomping away in the corner of any thread I've posted in

 

[Alla]

To be honest, only one of them was giving me a headache, and I asked if we had an option to block them all instead of telling anyone to remove it, so I was hardly inconsiderate, on the opposite to some of those gif avatars fans. But if we're giving the option I vote for "get rid", because some of them make me physically sick

I feel the tide is turning.

WHAT OF IT YOUNG MAN? I DIDN'T FIGHT IN 3 WORLD WARS FOR YOUR GENERATION TO JUST USE GIFS WILLY NILLY. BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD TO MAKE DO WITH FLIPBOOKS AND A PENCIL IF WE WANTED FUN. NOW ALL WE GET IS ANIMATED AVATARS AND WERTHERS ORIGINALS STUCK IN OUR KEYBOARD JAMMING ON THE CAPS LOCK. THINGS HAVE CHANGED AROUND ME AND I AM FRIGHTENED PLEASE HELP ME.

 

[Alla]

How aggressive

 

[lolly]

So aroused right now

 

[octophone]

I AM A HEADACHE AND YOU ARE A GIF
MOOVY MOOVY GIF
MOOVY MOOVY GIF

 

[Christian]

Please just give me the ability to turn them off

Then the wonderful people who think they're funny/interesting/amusing can pick new ones to their hearts' content and not bother anyone else

 

[Martha Skidd]

Some GIFs are so much worse than others

HI GIRLS

 

[octophone]

HI GIRLS

Actually about as funny as a baseball bat to the kneecaps.

 

[KindaCool]

the tag debate,

That's still a sore spot for me. The mourning period is ongoing.

 

[Tisch]

I have removed my gif and gone for something boomer-friendly

 

[Martha Skidd]

Try slipping one UP YOU darling.

et tu, Brutus?

 

[Beverley]

so obsessed with my new avatar
