This is downvoted, but the homepage really does say "hello i am maia arson crimew (it/she)". I'd feel uncomfortable referring to anyone as "it" though, as there are some connotations with that :-/
It's not good that you are uncomfortable when it asks you to talk about it with its preferred pronouns. It's 2023, it's about time you try to do what it ask you to do. When it tells you its preferred pronouns, try as hard as you can to follow it.
Apropos of nothing, I also just really appreciate crimew.gay's aesthetic. This website is what me from 1993 thought a hacker's website would look like. A nod of respect to them for kickin' it old-school.

If they ask for it :shrug: also their tld is literally .gay so I think they’re pretty aware of what they’re asking for with their pronoun preference.

No - please do not use "it" as a catch-all pronoun for an unknown person. "It" is generally a dehumanizing term for a transgender person - though a minority use it as a pronoun (in those cases, go for it).
Bullshit. Why is a word that explicitly removes all identity connotations randomly dehumanization? Its one of the most neutral ways of indicating another, In the same way that "comrade" is.
Yes, including being a human

You seem eager to reduce this to "just" a pronoun issue, but it's not the same as calling someone "he" or "she", whatever they might prefer.
No one gets to single-handedly (re)define the English language for everyone else. "It" in this usage does not fall in to normal English usage, other than to mock people. That they want to use it nonetheless or whatever reason, that's fine with me. I will always listen to that and do my best to oblige with that within reason. However, radically different meanings for words in common grammatical structures, for me, falls outside of "within reason". Other people may choose different, and that is fine too.

Whatever you have to say, say it to my face, and not in third person behind my back.
