I am sorry to hear about all that, and I can get how that kind of resentment would build up over time.

And honestly? I like Tumblr, too. I just hate that it's now the primary fandom platform, and in some places the only - or as good as the only - fandom platform. The kind of interactivity I used to easily get in most or all of my fandom spaces, I now find predominantly here - most journalsite based communities are dying or dead, and with no viable replacement (which I don't count Tumblr as one, as it doesn't enable anywhere near the same level of interaction as journal sites, forums, etc.)

I'm not old, but I have spent almost half my life - over the last decade - in fandom, and the type of fandom I grew up on is quickly evaporating, and much of that is due to Tumblr...and I dread the possibility that when fandom moves on from Tumblr to something else, the stuff I loved about fandom will die out completely and never come back. :( Fandom will still be around, but not the kind of fandom I want.

So yeah, I resent its popularity much more than I resent the site itself, and this is why.

(I also hate the growth of SJWs, but that's as much correlation as causation in this particular context.)

Nah, I get where you're coming from. I mean, that post was as much a rant as it was an attempt to have a reasonable discussion. It is easier for me, someone who migrated from FF.Net to Twitter to Tumblr, to get used to fandom being like that. I do admit, I spoke out of anger because I'd just had this discussion yesterday and most of today, so I didn't try to see your side or anyone else's. My brain-mouth (or this case, hand) filter is flimsy at best, so I'll put my foot in my mouth a lot over complete misunderstandings.

And if you find me on any other site, feel free to strike up a chat.

migrated from FF.Net to Twitter to Tumblr

That explains so much.

I'm confused as to how fandom works on Twitter. It's 140 characters for post, how...what...?!

Well seeing as most Dragons of Berk fic is on FFN, I guess I'm getting back into it. Same name on there? :)
