What the hell kind of magical fandom utopia did you live in? People sure as shit roasted each other for all sorts of dumb bullshit back then, and they sure as hell were a lot more openly racist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic about it too. Christ, I remember when people who had "don't like, don't read!" disclaimers on their fics were roundly mocked and specifically targeted for abuse. I'm sick of these nostalgia glasses about fandom where everyone always got along and no one was ever mean to each other or complained about fic they didn't like. It's the same shit it's always been but with different coats of paint.

No, Tumblr is uniquely bad and the fact that I believe this has no relation whatsoever to the fact that I'm 15 years older than I was in 2002, definitely for sure

It's equally myopic to claim that that fandom is exactly the same as it always has been and hasn't picked up some nasty new habits in the past decade.

i can remember having f-locked bitch-fests with fellow shippers over other ships/headcanon/fandom tropes we didn't like, it was just private so no one but those invited could see it.

it's not that it wasn't there, it was just better hidden a lot of the time. but the format of tumblr doesn't allow for that so much so everyone is tossed into the mix together, which never works.

it's like everyone's forgotten what the lj-anon memes were like, because they were every bit as wanky and stupid as tumblr is.
