[37 / 9]
I am getting seriously sick of hearing about how evil Tumblr supposedly is, and of hearing people talking about Tumblr like it's one consistent entity united under some sort of Borg consensus. "Tumblr hates this," "Tumblr hates that," "Tumblr is mad again," "why is Tumblr so offendable," It feels like every thread I go to here always dissolves into a swirling vortex of Tumblr hate no matter what it's about. What's really ironic though is the idea that Tumblr operates as one focal set of ideas or that it moves as one united force, because that simply could not be further from the truth. In my 3+ years on Tumblr I have seen more infighting in that community then any other I've ever been a part of. I've seen plenty of "social justice warriors" but I've seen just as many people who seemed indifferent or un-involved in that whole scene, and most of the SJWs were very quick to call out other SJWs if they said something truly dumb. I've seen plenty of feminist blogs but the vast vast majority of them were run by completely reasonable people, as supposed to the so-called feminazis you idiots claim are running rampant. And I've seen shitloads of debate and differing opinions on every subject from Social Justice to the pronunciation of "tissues." Tumblr is ANYTHING but a unified whole. Plus, Tumblr is actually a very positive force in peoples lives. It's a great way of learning about shit, sharing art, and viewing perspecives that you may otherwise never have heard. We have our bad apples, sometimes whole trees of them, but that's the case with every community on the internet. And you have to keep in mind that most of our bad apples are really just frustrated people venting their feelings in an environment free of consequence, like here. I just dont see why /b/, and the internet in general, seem to have so much ire for Tumblr specifically when, as far as I see it, the only real difference between it and 4Chan is the background colour. Don't like Tumblr? Don't go there.

I think its better to just ride it out rather than try to appeal to people trust me all your going to get is more disdain over "PC SJW's Femenazis" it'll die down.... There are some aspects of the Tumblr SJW thing I still havent wraped my head around (cultural apropriation) and somtimes I find myself rolling my eyes and saying "...really?" but ultimatly I'm far more annyoed by people who are scared of "the PC police" or misuse the word Feminists/ism than I am by the SJW's OP is still a faggot though

"Just don't go to Tumblr" The problem isn't that I visit Tumblr, the problem is that Tumblr visits the rest of the internet

>>648325600 Just about every major website has bullshit. People just like to focus on the ones that they personally don't like and turn a blind eye to the ones that they do like. No one talks about all the bullshit on Reddit, because people don't have grudges to pick with Reddit.

>>648325600 It's an easy target that you won't get in trouble for attacking here and other places. And people get to feel superior and dismissive about issues of social progress. It'll die down eventually when a new soft target comes along.
But you're right. In my years on the internet I've spent far more time looking at cool photos and shit there than anything else. The perception that tumblr is a SJW hivemind is pretty laughable.

>>648325600 I like tumblr, but I'll admit, in the few times I've wandered onto the rabid SJW side I've found it to be downright frightening. Fortunately, that sort of stuff is easy to avoid. I guess it's akin to liking the city you live in, but knowing which neighborhood not to wander around in at night.

I fucking hate tumblr because I think it's a shit, buggy site. I will just say this though: anything that has a huge following with get flak because of a small percentage of followers, whether it's religion, political party, website, show, etc. The bigger it is, the more it seems like a place that is terrible, only because the small percentage is bigger. Let's say 10% of people with any group are the loud obnoxious ones. A site with only 100 followers will only have ten, so it doesn't seem that bad. A giant site with 100 million people will and 10 million people that are terrible, so it looks really bad, despite the fact it's only 10% of the people. It's also still a new scapegoat at the moment, and a new site will take over eventually It's the same image problem this place has

>>648327926 But that's only a small section of the site - and it's easily avoided.

>>648328187 It doesn't matter. These are now legitimate things that have been unleashed on the world. That, along with the simply fact that Tumblr isn't anonymous is why people from 4chan will always hate on it.
Also you seem to be very heavily implying that 4chan doesn't hate 4chan, which is probably why you think 4chan shouldn't hate tumblr. I don't personally have any problem with individuals who visit tumblr, but you cannot deny that the site has become the gateway for pretty much every female permavirgin neckbeard to bitch about how shit their life is and how it's everyone else's fault.

>>648329075 Again, only one part of the site - go there for the pr0n, go there for the non permavirgins. You can pick and choose the shit you see and don't see. It would be like judging this place based entirely on the MLP ponyfag page
