Is anyone else creeped out by the frowning face error? (lemmy.ml)

The frowning face that pops up when the internet connection drops out or Youtube breaks something. I don't know if it's how suddenly it pops up, my horror and true crime habit, or its lifeless eyes, but I have a jarring and visceral reaction when it shows up.

It's all subjective I suppose, and I could make personal builds to patch it out, so I don't know if it merits me making a Github account and raising an issue. I'm curious if anyone else feels the same way about the frowning face error.

Sorry to do this, but just to clarify do you mean this one?

Frowning face, do not click if you dont want to see it

If so, it seems innocuous to me, though I can sort of understand the horror in terms of a face in the darkness peering out.

dark faces need to breathe!

Yep. I appreciate the spoiler!

In a way, it feels like those TV logos that would creep out kids.

do you get creeped out Pareidolia in general

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

No, just this particular face

maybe they'd be open to someone contributing a new vector to replace that error logo?
