Loading spinners are disorienting and not impacted by “reduced motion” settings in applications or browsers. This lack of off-toggle means that persons with sensory disorders can experience dizziness, nausea, migraines, or a fight-flight-freeze response.
The blinking text cursor cannot be disabled across several operating systems such as Android, Apple, Nintendo/Xbox/Playstation consoles and most phone operating systems. This can be disabled in Windows and Apple computer devices. The animation from the blinking text cursor can cause migraines, fight-flight-freeze, dizziness, and other physiological symptoms.
