Blocking animations?

[meloukhia]

Animations and flashing things (including animated user icons and mood icons) basically break my brain and they keep showing up on my reading list, much to my dismay. I'm wonder if it's possible to add an option to the user settings to block all animations on the site (in my innocence about web development, I have no idea how difficult this would be)? I know this is an accessibility need for other people as well.

I've picked the icons I tolerate the best for people on my reading list and set them to always display in my style.

This entry explains how. I'm sorry it's a mess from all the edits, I don't understand CSS enough myself to write a new coherent explanation incorporating the various refinements from the comments.
