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?

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.
