Is there any option to turn these things off? If not, why not?

Hide avatars in settings, otherwise deal with it.

Edit: At least i think you can hide avatars, not sure now.

The stealth theme has avatars hidden.

Nifty.

If it was available in dark version it'd be golden. Still, good to know.

If your browser supports it, grab Stylus.

.avatar img
  {
    display: none !important;
  }

If you want to solely target animated avatars just manually block them using an image filter.
