I hate to perpetually harp about tumblr, but the age drama seems worse there than it ever was on LJ. Like not only were ages kept secret/rather vague, of the people who gave ages, I remember 20s and 30s seemed to be a majority (especially when it came to BNFs). Communities like fandomwank didn't even let you register unless you were over 18. Whereas tumblr is super inundated with teens displaying their ages/orientations/you name it left and right and posts about high school and starting college OMIGASH and a bunch of BNFs are now teens (one of the most prolific homestuck artists is 16 I think), and when you're older than that, you can feel a lot, well... older.

Tumblr just seems to be all about drama, period.

Yes, this. I have a sideblog dedicated to one of my favorite characters and most of my followers who are in the fandom are from 14 to 20. Being 25, I can't help but feel old when I see that a 14 year old reblogs the most posts from me. I also feel like they wouldn't want to interact with someone who's a decade older than them if they realized my age. :\

I'm 53 and there is NO FUCKING WAY I will mention my age in a fandom context.

Not because I'm embarrassed about it - I'm not - but because I think there's a likelihood that some fans are just going to say, "God, she's my mother's age!" (or grandmother's) and then every exchange I have will be colored by the assumptions and prejudices they have around that.

[silverr]

Heh, and this is precisely why I do mention my age (I'm 56) ... it's time to toss those assumptions and prejudices.

God THIS. I'm 28 and it freaks me out when I realize that I just mutually followed a 14 year old because they weren't clear about their age. Not that I want to be ageist, but it seems really creepy on my part. I also feel like the 18 year old crowd is generally way more Tumblr savvy then I'll ever be. But on the other hand, I could care less if someone is older than me, so maybe it's not really that big of deal once both parties clear 20.

[(Anonymous)]

You really think all of those BNFs were telling the truth about their ages? Because I sure as hell wasn't.

[othellia]

Oh I'm sure there were some BNFs who lied, but all the ones I usually remember off the top of my head (Cassie Claire, Cleolinda, rufftoon, etc) were telling the truth.

[(Anonymous)]

This exactly.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I'm 35, and most of the people I follow on tumblr are at least 10, 15 years younger than I am. That realization can get a bit scary.

OTOH, it does explain a few things. Whenever I think "jfc, stop making a mountain out of a molehill, this really isn't a big deal" I try to remember that at that age, yeah, it kind of is.

[(Anonymous)]

The age thing can be especially problematic on tumblr if you're rping. I used to have no problem with erotic rping, but I now have a no erotic RP rule unless it's with someone I know very well.

This is part of the reason why I gave up my account...it just got tiring seeing all these school/parents/tweenie friends complaints mixed in with the fandom stuff. The lit/cooking/nature blogs I followed didn't have any of that, because the bloggers were middle-aged, and they stayed on-topic most of the time but the fandom blogs definitely skewed towards younger. Complete with 1stWorldYouthProblems, so.....
