There are good ones, and not finding them is a skill issue.

>outright refusing to implement responsive css because mobile is le bad and le corporate
Nothing wrong with that. Only third world shitters use or care about smartphones. I actually block mobile users on my personal site.

i'd argue in favor for mobile friendliness from the perspective of a moderator of a site that revolves around this kind of design
if i'm taking a shit or i'm out and about and my phone starts getting bombed because some guy is posting child porn i'd like the experience from me opening my phone to going to the ban button to be a relatively easy task that doesn't take more than 15 seconds to do
if you aren't running a dynamic site though then yeah fuck phoneposters. they need to learn how to flip their shit horizontally if they want to navigate a static website so bad. they shouldn't even need to either since html autoscales these days
Desktop first mobile second all the way no matter what though
To add onto that,
>anime gif
Nothing wrong.
>media interests (vocaloid [...] nintendo 3ds games [...])
Nothing wrong.
>massive walls of text everywhere about the creator's hyperfixations
Based.
>nobody hosting services like xmpp [...] or ftp, not even so much as a minecraft server
Who said everyone must host services?
>poor accessibility, with most sites lacking image alt text and having garish colors and animations that could harm people with epilepsy or other neurological/sensory issues
Not my problem, cripple.

Only valid complaints, everything else is whining over personal websites/interests. If you don't like it fuck off.

There is nothing wrong with adding smartphone access. Face it , not all of us at all times are carrying around our corebooted thinkpad 200x's looking for a ethernet port. I believe it comes from a place of high horse mentality as well as immaturity if you're , Sure understand that smartphones have become somewhat of a cancer in the tech industry as well as websites catering torwards them. Don't act like you haven't used your smartphone when you're out and about for various purposes, also face the fact that they're portable computers within themselves, and if you're using GrapheneOS and decent opsec they're not bad.

Don't have to act, I don't have a smartphone.
Why add smartphone access? People aren't going to be surfing to my site through a phone anyway.
