The sad part about this is SE lets this happen, yet if they are reported to the GMs, they potentially get a suspension (it's happened). At least let us filter them on the client end so we don't see other people spamming this.
You can put emotes in their own separate chat tab.
What’s the difference between standard and custom emotes?
I mean... you can. The setting is there. It's just that for some reason the game never mentions about Log Filters existence during initial guide, so a lot of people (and this thread shows it) don't even know that they can decide what they will see in their chat logs.

As for animations - there's not much they can do except allowing to turn off players's sounds and animation effects, which is also already implemented.
