Animated gifs: Make it stop!

Fun indeed! One way to fix this would be to disable lightboxes and pausing animated images inside the spoiler element. It’s very easy to do this with just CSS:

.spoiled {
  img.animated,
  .lightbox {
    pointer-events: none;
  }
}

We could also have lightboxing and pausing animations apply only when the contents is unblurred, but that can’t work with the spoiler being a toggle. But if we decide to switch the spoiler behaviour to be one way (unblur on click and that’s it), this could work too.
