Is this where people who shut down their tumblrs after being called out go? </ I>
I'm not up for the widespread demonization of everyone on tumblr or the rudeness on this meme, but you can't deny that many parts of tumblr are highly toxic, and many callouts are completely unwarranted and have more to do with what you ship or who you've pissed off or simply looking like an easy target than anything wrong you might have done. There are shitty reasons be disgruntled with tumblr culture, to the extent that such a thing exists, but there are also some very, very good reasons.
Fandom itself can be pretty toxic and often becomes a hivemind very, very quickly. I don't think tumblr is any more toxic than any other internet platform, but it's more noticeable because nothing is private.
As much as I love fandom, there are people involved in fandom who are incredibly cruel and who take fandom-related things way too seriously (sometimes imo to the point of addiction. No one's hobby should ever consume every aspect of their life).
