AYRT

It's absolutely true that it works both ways. That sort of behaviour happened within cliques in larger fandoms too, but the more casual or not-well-connected fan would have no idea and would imagine everything was rainbows and kittens.

For better or for worse, if wank kicks off in your fandom on Tumblr, it's visible to everyone whether they want to see it/involve themselves or not, and even if the original post gets deleted, most of the time someone's reblogged it for posterity.

So yep, the openness is certainly a double-edged sword. I'll admit I preferred LJ as a platform purely because it made conversation and back-and-forth discussion easier, but for its diehards to say it didn't have its own problems compared to Tumblr just isn't true, as your experiences attest.

I think, like most things, it depends on which set of issues you can tolerate most.
