The indie web, as of late, seems to have had an increased focus accessibility. In my eyes, this is an excellent shift in the right direction, but I also feel as though some have allowed it to directly hinder their creative processes. Before I get into my rationale behind my thoughts, I'd like to preface my argument with the following: My site is not at all accessible, and quite frankly I need to actually make it mobile accessible as it's scrapped versions were.

Well, after many months, I've returned to being a webmaster once more. I can't say this is as good as the site some of you all were once familiar with, but nonetheless, it's mine. I've posted some blog posts already, albeit, don't expect too much of them. It's good to be back, and I'll resume my regular posting activities.

Conceptually, I haven't anything against the Do Not Interact list (henceforth referred to as DNI). As I'll touch on briefly in the more opinionated portion of this post, I do feel as though they can...
In the (admittedly unrefined and now deleted) first post of this blog, I briefly discussed the factors that influence our perceptions of right and wrong. One of those factors was media. And it is because of this that I view the constant hostility toward media containing problematic content as downright foolish; for it is not media that encourages the populace to partake in activities deemed wrong by society, but rather, it is media’s depiction of such activities that pushes this belief. In my eyes, media that is problematic in nature can largely be classified into two fields; however, it is...
