Getting really tired of the Tumblr hate on FS.

1. It is quite possible to have a good discussion on fandom things. In fact, there was one very recently about how the guys who made Star Trek are hideously uninformed. Do you have to go looking for responses? Yes. Does it mean you will necessarily get the attention of the OP? No. And I'm quite fine with that, as most of the time I'd rather hear what my friends have to say.

I'm getting really tired of the "GET OFF MY LAWN. I WANT FANDOM DISCUSSION" complaints. They exist on Tumblr, and just because you can't spent maybe half an hour figuring out Tumblr doesn't mean that discussion isn't there.

2. It's also possible to be a Tumblr superuser and still have a life. A year ago, I was working a very stressful job, which I spent a lot of time at. I was also fostering a long-distance relationship, through Skype and IM, and I still managed to keep up with my dash. If you find your dash is hard to keep up with, just unfollow the person who posts all the time. (These tend to be mostly teenagers, anyway.)

3. While I do feel there needs to be better functionality for discussion, I am fine fandom is where it is.

1. You're missing what most people are complaining about: It's *hard* to have an *open* discussion [One that involves more than two people, actively involved]. Tumblr simply wasn't made for that. That doesn't say that it doesn't happen, but it's much harder to find, and keep up with - making it far more uncommon than it is on other sites.

2. The OP is the only saying anything else. Most people actually disagreed with the OP on that.

3. Good for you. Other people don't, and there's nothing wrong with them having this opinion, or sharing it. Frankly, if you don't like it, why don't you try doing what a lot of us do when discussions of secrets we don't like come up and just scroll past it. This actually goes for all of the '~I'm~ fine with it/~I~ like it' bits you said.

You want fandom discussion, but then state anon "scroll past it"? Because that fosters discussion, yup!

When all you're going to do is whine about people complaining and hold up 'BUT I'M OKAY WITH IT!' like it should mean *everyone* is okay with it? Yes, because that's not discussion. That's being an ass and expecting people to take your opinion as the 'right' one.

It's really not harder merely makes you think about it in a different way. You want to join a fandom discussion, follow someone who has those discussions, reblog with your opinion, someone will reblog yours and you can follow it that way.

If you want strangers to comment on your opinion, make a new post, tag it and respond to each person individually.

Yes, you have to let go of a discussion after a certain point, but that's kind of healthy? And doesn't happen much here.
