I think this is true. I've never been particularly active in fandom or had a lot of presence on LJ/DW, but I'm still distinctly put off by the way tumblr reminds me of the most vapid and obnoxious of high school cliques. And I'm not even long past being a teenager.

I think the average age of faannish tumblerites probably is younger, and I think it does contribute to the overall level of discourse. I don't think that's necessarily a bad or insulting thing-- being a teenager, and wanting to talk to other teenagers in the way that teenagers talk, is OK! And it's cool that there's a space for people to do that! I just hope it doesn't come to monopolize fandom in the way it seems like it might, and wipe out the popularity and viability of other options.

Your last sentence sums it up. Theoretically, nothing's wrong with many different platforms so that everyone can enjoy fandom in the format that suits them best, and for that reason I'd hate to be grinchy about tumblr.

I just hope text- and comment-style sites don't decline proportionally.
