My eyes hurt from the new colors and visual clutter

I am not even that sensitive to colors. I’m a web developer myself. So, please don’t gaslight and say that I hate change. I spend most of my time staring at all sort of themes and developing different designs for a living. This is really hurting my eyes. I can’t even imagine what’s like for people who are color blind and sensitive. Right after a few minutes in after the new update, I even experienced something I have never before. I got dizzy and overwhelmed by the bright colors and the visual clutter that everything on the screen just started to blend together as some blurry nonsense. I had to stop looking and close my eyes for a while. And why are the pings addressed to others pop out and scream on the screen too like it needs my attention but the pings addressed to me or my roles get lost among normal text? Please please please have mercy and change it back or give an option to toggle the old theme. I’m begging you!

I'm having the same issue, the new rebranding literally gives me a big headache and i hate that the only possible solutions are to either

1. stop using discord
or
2. use a modified client

What bothers me most after visiting the web page is that discord now looks like its target audience is <12y old...
Also I agree that new new color is too bright and the font is even worse than comic sans and continues that "kids are our main target group" vibe.

Unless they are planning to sell discord for school usage, this will hurt their brand. I won't tell anyone I'm using discord any more. Who does not know discord will think I'm on a kids platform as a grown man, giving strong pedo vibes.

This visual update is clearly not a feature but a bug. Please fix
