How do people have such difficulty figuring out how to have a fulfilling fandom experience? It really isn't hard,

For you. Your experience =/= everyone else's. The platform is clumsy and time consuming, picture- not word-friendly, impossible to have a decent conversation unless you are on it all day every day reblogging everything in sight and wading through tons of detritus. Some of us have other things to do.

Fed up with being assumed just to be stupid/not trying/dinosaurs by tumblrites. Some of us just don't get on with it and don't like it, capiche?

Thank you for putting this into better words than I could have.

THANK YOU. Christ, the level of defensive condescension from some devotees of tumblr gets really tiresome.

In fairness, I've also seen a hell of a lot of "Tumblrites are all a bunch of stupid, shallow hordes who are RUINING FANDOM FOREVER" from people who love DW/LJ. So I get where a lot of the defensiveness comes from. I don't like it, but neither side has avoided condescension or tarring the other side with way too large a brush.

You'll see me on this thread bitching about my experience with Tumblr. I have two of them, one personal and one for my art business. They both frustrate me, but the personal/fannish one frustrates me much more than the business one, because that's where I really want to just have fun and talk to people but nobody talks in my fandom, ever. So it's very isolating and a really weird kind of fun/sad.

In fairness, I'll definitely agree with that point. I in fact went back and added "some" at the last second because I realized I was about to do that very thing out of my own frustration (not that you were supposed to magically see into my commenting thought process, ha!). It's a tough thing and I do agree that both sides fall easily into being too lax about bitching in terms that feel offensive to the other side.

I can't really say more because frankly, my opinion is pretty damn biased and I hate tumblr with a "you killed my father, prepare to die" passion so virulent that I can't actually be reasonable for very many sentences at a time. *g* Desire not to be a total asshole has forced me to be a devotee of the "if you can't say something nice..." course of action 99% of the time on the matter of tumblr.
