Lately I had to browse Tumblr because it's the only place I found that cares about my current OTP and the site and its users are absolutely terrible. It's like going back to high school but these people are in their 20s and 30s.

Shhhh, you're putting the wrong spin on their narrative. Tumblr is a happy place of peace and holding hands!

(Anonymous) 2016-04-15 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
So the problem that you have with tumblr people is immaturity. But that doesn't seem to justify calling something 'cancer' to me, and I also don't see what it has to do with someone talking about a heterosexual headcanon. Would you mind explaining further?

Ayrt
I'm sure that's true, I've followed people who's art or LJ I used to like and had to unfollow because they were so hideously annoying on tumblr.
But there are also some delightfully funny and wise and talented people who I've found there.
I think it sucks in so many ways I do. Just not the way these people are saying it does.

Is this your first time in fandom by any chance?

"are you new meme"

Have a cookie for the effort.

It's a legit question. The things they describe aren't new. It was like that when fandom was on LJ, it was like that when fandom was on message boards and usenet, it was like that when fandom was all zines and cons.

I mean, in some ways, fandom isn't even all that crazy right now. Nothing on tumblr has topped the childish insanity of early-aughts adult HP fandom, for example.

I hear this a lot, but as someone who was in HP in the early aughts, I don't get it. Drama was much easier to avoid back then. Moderated communities kept the crazy at bay. Nowadays it's hanging out all over the place.

Whereas I find it easier to avoid drama on tumblr. Found a few good people to follow early on, then stopped going into the tags. I don't see any of the stuff people elsewhere are always complaining about.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-15 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I've never been able to get beyond surface level on tumblr. Probably because surface level is so off-putting. And tumblr is where fandom lives, so I basically just don't interact in fandom anymore. I read and write fic and hang out here, and that's about it.

If it's Tumblr, no they probably aren't.
