Why not upload images of code/errors when asking a question?

$

I am new to Stack Overflow, and I have asked about 5 questions so far. I have uploaded images of my code on most of my questions. On two separate occasions, two different users advised me not to upload images of code and outputs. One even jokingly said that, every time an image of code is uploaded, a kitten somewhere dies.

Why is uploading images of code on Stack Overflow such a big "no no"? Isn't that why we have the option to upload images?

What other options do I have if I want to show my code to everyone, so that they can have a better understanding of what I am explaining?
