I have to say that although I'm enjoying #kbin so far, the moderator avatar of a man with a gun to his head and the Star Wars stormtrooper icon that's on nearly every page are making me reconsider spending my time here. What is the deal with those images?

@lynn_literary Wait, what? I haven't seen that anywhere. Where are you seeing those icons and avatars?

Yeah, I see the profile image on the "owner" and "moderator" fields for magazines. The Imperial stormtrooper is at the bottom of the page, on mobile, with "Create your own instance".

I guess we can ask @ernest directly why these images are in use when they suggest... hostility. I'm sure this is an extremely busy time, though.
