Then you aren't looking very hard, pretty much every website I've seen has had these same discussions for years now. You pretty much can't go to a video game forum without seeing discussions about women in gaming and female and minority representation. Sure, the quality of the thread can range from calm and informative, to downright toxic, but they are happening, you saying you don't see them means nothing because they exist in large quantity.

Even specifically related to Frozen, the debate over the romantic subversion, female representation, and even the topic of gay representation, is something I saw on numerous different websites, from dedicated Subreddits to the off-topic forums for unrelated media, it happened in a lot more places than just Tumblr.

Look, there's nothing wrong with preferring Tumblr's format, or finding the posters on Tumblr more interesting to hold discussions with, but don't sit there and pretend that just because you didn't bother to go out and look for other forums discussing these topics, that means that those discussions didn't take place, and suddenly Tumblr is the only place these conversations are happening. It accomplishes nothing but poisoning the argument, and it makes you look silly, because anyone whose seen these discussions garner dozens or hundreds of threads on other websites is going to know right away that you don't know what you're talking about.
