I think a big part of why it feels nastier now is because tumblr, as fandom's primary social platform, makes absolutely no distinction between one's own space and public space.

On LJ, I could express my opinion on my journal, and even if it was a legitimately offensive opinion, I was doing it on my journal and only on my journal, so when people replied, they tended to reply accordingly. You don't go into someone's house and tell them off for being a POS, even if they are a POS. Whereas on tumblr, anything you express you are expressing publicly. It feels like your space, to a degree, because you're posting to your blog, and shouldn't your blog be your space? But because of how tumblr works, the answer is overwhelmingly, no. A tumblr blog isn't a journal, it's a podium-and-megaphone.

I agree. There's always been drama and bullies and wankers, but it was easier to avoid them (unless you had the bad luck to be in a small fandom with one) when everyone's fandoms weren't falling all over each other.
