I am concerned about the busy backgrounds that include flashing, spinning, bright, or otherwise erratic animations on the playing field for matches.
These types of animations, while being enjoyed by some, are also unwelcoming to parts of our community with forms of neurodivergence, visual impairments, and neurological disorders.
These make gameplay at times hard to focus on, and the solution to this would seem to be a straightforward option where a “simplified visuals” option would allow a calming background while disabling animations for a player.
Given that these features are not a part of player expression from the opponent, this should not impair the community, but only allow the inclusion of those who find this inaccessible due to the increasingly disorienting visuals.
