Maybe just old enough to remember fandom before tumblr.
I'm in my early 20's and I hate fandom. The majority of the tumblr crowd from what I've seen is between 14-30 and most in that age range complain about how toxic the environment is.

I don't think it's anything to do with age, it's just the platform of tumblr lends itself to more drama by shared tag space and no real privacy or option to make your blog viewable only by your mutual friends. Anyone can follow you or view your blog.

Yeah I think the problem with social media is that it's a little more public these days so the wank reaches much farther then it used to.

There was always wank and some of it even reached the infamous level, but chances are you wouldn't see something be reblogged with 345,000 notes and shared on facebook 50,000 times and then favorited on twitter, etc etc etc.

The more people that see something = the more chance wank will continue even if the original parties have moved on.

That, plus wank was funnier. Back in the day it was all about people marrying Snape on the astral plane and people interrogating books about sexy vampires from the wrong perspective. Nowadays it's all about bigotry and hate, and that's a little harder to make fun of.

DA. Technically, there still is a lot of married to Snape on the astral plane type stuff. Just the more recent fandom accepts this otherkin bullshit, so you now get things like multiple people identifying as literally being that character and getting into ship wars going "I would never date X character, how dare you do that to me!"

Once this stuff would've been laughed out of fandom, but now the otherkin keep trying to legitimize themselves by appropriating trans and mentally ill rhetoric, so calling them on their bullshit gets called you trans or ableist, even if the person in question is neither trans nor mentally ill.
