An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It’s 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don’t expect everyone to everything for you.

    Yeah… People just need to start slurping down gruel for every meal and be happy about it. How dare someone complain about grocery store prices when I know for a fact they splurged on a bag of name brand potato chips last week! The poors are not just entitled but completely irresponsible. Don’t they realize simple luxuries like snacks are for rich people?

    The in-universe explanation is that his surname is Kravinoff and it was anglicized to Kraven when his family was exiled from Russia. The real world explanation is the character was inspired by General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell and he was a super lame Spider-Man villain for 20+ years until Kraven’s Last Hunt in 1987. So it’s best not to put too much thought into the name beyond accepting that it’s intentionally oxymoronic - it wasn’t supposed to be a flattering depiction of big game hunters.
