CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well first you have to start with choosing an animated .gif image that you like. You can also convert a video clip to gif format if there isn't already a gif that you like.
Then, you have to scale the gif down to 120x120 pixels or less. This is a requirement for CF avatars.
You also have to drastically reduce the gif's quality until the gif is less than 100KB (another CF requirement).
Once that is done, you should be able to simply add the gif as your avatar.
If you have any questions about how to do any of those steps, just ask

Well this is if you want to make one out of an animated gif. Avatars don't have to be animated.
You know what an avatar is, right?

If you have a gif or video clip that you want made into an avatar I can try to make it for you. As long as it complies with CF's rules, obviously.

is there some way to make the toes on this image wiggle?
no, I need it to be a short video clip or an already animated gif that I can scale.

I had to drastically reduce the image size and quality for it to be small enough to work as an avatar according to CF's rules, but this should work:

There are actually really easy online tools to do this, the trick is to know what optimizations to use so that the quality doesn't get totally ruined:
