You know, I have to say that from my experience having grown up in Midwestern America through the eighties and nineties, it sure as heck wasn't Tumblr that classified gay as a pejorative. It's all the people who insist on using it as a pejorative. Tumblr's been around since 2007. I know that I personally heard people using gay to call someone or something bad or distasteful or awful or whatever other negative connotation you want to assign back at least as far as the eighties, so it sure as heck didn't come from Tumblr.

People who are [whatever questionable term] that want to call themselves [said questionable term] aren't using it as a pejorative. People who aren't [questionable term] using it simply as an identifier for someone who is [questionable term] aren't using it as a perjorative - unless of course said person finds the word offensive and doesn't want it used to refer to them. However, people using it to describe something as inherently bad are using it as a pejorative and deserve to be at least side-eyed if not called out on it, imo.

It gets more problematic when you have words that have a far longer history of being used as a pejorative (nigger and gypsy/gipsy for example, since those really shouldn't be used by non-members of those groups unless with people from said group that are okay with it due to the long standing negative history of those words), but that's always been the rule of thumb I've gone by. Calling someone out for the use of a word when it's pretty obviously not being used as a pejorative just makes you a white knight asshole. Context is key.
