Seriously, trying to get the SA Forums (or the entire internet, really) not to dogpile on someone being stupid is like asking for people not to pee in a public pool.

Tumblr deserves to get poo poo on because of the neonazi propaganda and child porn they hosted and continue to host even after they banned FEMALE-PRESENTING NIPPLES.

Like, cool, you ran off, like, 90% of your users and the remaining 10% either post SFW stuff or stuff that's legitimately horrible but your lovely bots can't detect it.

Oh, you can poo poo on Tumblr as a business, they've consistently been incompetent at best.

But making GBS threads on Tumblr as a community is just kinda old hat at this point, they've always proven to be generally harmless people, usually with their heart in the right place even if they're idiots. We have all learned very, very, VERY well at this point that their kind of social media idiocy was far from the worst kind, and the fact that the 'ridiculing idiots' corner of the internet kinda gave it both barrels probably wasn't a good angle in retrospect, when certain other social media idiots around at the time proved to be far worse.

Oh, tumblrites like furries and otherkin are mostly harmless, but there's supposedly left-leaning folks there who think it's super-cool and okay to bully someone into committing suicide because they cosplayed as a Crystal Gem while having the wrong body type or not being a person of color (IE, purple, I guess), draw porn of obviously underaged characters while raggedly panting "no she's totally 18, don't be a prude," or troll kiddy fandoms looking for minors to groom. Like, yeah, nazis are bad and should be SCOLDED HARSHLY*, but the tumblr crowd isn't without sin either.

Like, I was gonna post some of the old screencaps I took from back in the day before the Feminine-Presenting Nippleocalypse, but it's the kind of stuff Bird would prefer not be posted here so I'll respect her wishes.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

it's very telling to see the people made most uncomfortable over issues of privilege attack the only popular community to (kinda almost not really because modern megaplatforms don't form communities in the same way as forums like these) promote a serious discussion of power and how often it is invisbile. Plus they tend to be assholes, see Vincent Van Goatse's every post.

Tumblr does a very poor job of communicating intersectional feminist theories and many, many, awkward grad students use it in toxic and in the service of capital. That's never the argument when this shows up tho, it's always people with a weirdly angry need to discredit the idea that marginal identities face challenges and form communities in complicated ways. It's very similar to how a certain kind of person is furious at imaginary vegans, a form of assumed moral judgement that must be discredited and denied repeatedly.

See, you say that but I still don't see how that's any different from Reddit, Youtube or Twitter so I don't get it. My main problem was that using tumblr was basically like being in school in a lot of ways. I didn't start fights with people and found things I liked and stuck with that and then I'd hear about this massive drama nuke that went down that I was totally oblivious to but a massive chunk of people are talking about like there was a meeting about it that I missed. So my experience was seeing someone drawing a neat picture of Smash Brothers characters in their downtime or something I thought had totally been memory holed like Kappa Mikey or some Hot Wheels racing show that I vaguely remember fanart.
