I can't think of anyone here I'd call an "insane SJW" besides the anon trolls that dethtoll mentioned but idk maybe you think I'm one of them. But I do roll my eyes when people talk about tumblr like it's somehow worse than any other online community. The issue with tumblr I think is that discussions about a thing don't actually go away. On f!s, we can have a thread, and everybody sees the whole thread, and a conversation/argument/shitstorm is had. We might link to and make references to it on another day, people might form opinions about other people and be like "Ugh you always say this kind of thing and I always disagree with you!" but for the most part, that particular argument is over. On tumblr... an old post can resurface at random, and every time it does, new people will see it. And usually, they'll be seeing different versions of it, with new stuff added or removed or changed, depending on who reblogged it.

Sometimes this can be really neat, like that post about how the only flower language they knew was about love and junk, and they wanted a way to say meet me at the docks at midnight with a bouquet of flowers". Someone who knew a lot about flower language eventually found that and added instructions on how to do just that, with links to more resources. Other times? Half of us already saw that post and got angry about it, or did some quick fact checking and found out it was all lies. The rest have never seen it before and are OUTRAGED and have to message the OP RIGHT AWAY to tell them how wrong they are, and tons more people reblog it adding their wordy opinions and nobody sees them because of reblogging. Meanwhile the OP is dogpiled because nobody actually bothered to look at their blog and see that they apologized or that the actual original poster deleted and they stole the username and turned it into a Cory in the House blog...it's a stupid vicious cycle that has more to do with the setup of tumblr than the actual users, who are pretty much the same wherever you go.

Anyone who thinks you're an "insane SJW" doesn't know what they're talking about.

I want to click a little heart for this.

Also; aww, the flower language post had hate sent to the OP? That's not very nice. :( I thought that post was sweet (even if it was apparently wrong).

No, I think it was just being used as an example of tumblr being useful.

No no sorry, the anon above me is right. I was rushed when I wrote this and got rambly. The flower language post was rad as hell but sometimes tumblr does things that are not rad as hell.
