20 Years for this Site
by Avi Green
April 5, 2022
While I've moved it a few times between servers, this is the 20th
year into which I've maintained this personal site of mine. And even
though I've long become more of a blogger than a site webmaster
within all this time, I've made sure to keep this site going and
write items on it occasionally, as it can be advantageous to
maintain a more actual website for some purposes.
And that's pretty much what I've done all these years. Ever since
I'd realized the best way to make a statement is to run my own sites
– and I've enjoyed building at least a handful of fansites for
several comics characters along the way to boot – I've done my best
to retain this particular approach as much as working on blogs.
I think when it comes to a site like this nowadays, history writing
can make the best approach, while news analysis could work better on
the blogs. But, beginning my internet writing career on this humble
site of mine was an excellent idea, and prepared me for what lay
ahead.
And I'm glad that all these years, I built up my efforts at writing
about comic books, movies, video games and other items of interest.
Most importantly, how they were falling prey to political
correctness, and perversion. The latter problem was one of the main
reasons I got into taking an objective view of how the MSM does
their comics coverage, and it's a good thing I did. These are very
important issues to consider. DC's Identity Crisis and Marvel's
Avengers: Disassembled, along with Spider-Man's Sins Past were some
of the main reasons I got into writing about media dishonesty and
hypocrisy that virtually allowed these stories to gain undeserved
validity going forward for many years. Leaving a whole unhealthy
landscape in their wake, which, even in the post-Harvey
Weinstein era, is still lurking in the background.
Some may not think such issues are as serious today as they were in
the mid-2000s. But when you consider some of the writers are still
allowed to get away with their past acts simply because they may be
toeing a more social justice/wokeness-influenced line today, that's
why these particular issues still matter just as much as what's come
down the pike since. Consider: years before, there were quite a few
MSM sources that were defending the above examples despite the
noxious views of women, and now, they're attacking women's
sexuality, along with the idea of men falling in love with women
(and vice versa), and now, all of a sudden, they're accusing the
fanbases – including those offended by the misogyny-laced comics –
of sexism and worse. All this after the MSM refused to call out any
of the writers/editors/publishers/artists who'd wallowed in
misogynist elements back in the mid-2000s. That's what makes this
only so hypocritical.
That's why, as a blogger, I'll keep working on studying media
dishonesty and how it hurts famous creations along with their
fanbases, while moonbat creators by contrast are otherwise allowed
to get away with their grimy antics in many cases. Point: even
today, there's still leftists who're allowed to retain a protected
class status and aren't shunned by their leftist peers because of
reprehensible work they did in the past. That's why the battle
against dishonest media must continue.
So here, we're at the 20th anniversary of this website, and while
it's not like I update it much these days, I'll try on occasion to
keep doing so, even if I have to rehash whatever I'm writing as a
blogger these days to get the job done.
